It's a 94-95 LX. Yeah, I'm sure I'm the only one who cares. I just hope it's an NA V6 car.

What the heck is a 94 to 95 LX? Isn't LX a trim level?

What's an MN12? Sounds like a rap group from Minneapolis.

MN12 is the horrendous 89-97 Ford Thunderbird that effectively killed the name. A 94-95 LX could be either a V6 3.8 Essex POS or a 5.0 (SO, so like 180HP). Either way it will weigh 4000 Lbs, have a stupid bolt pattern, be an autotragic, and be ugly. No big loss.

Horrendous is a bit of an overstatement. Your weight estimate is several hundred pounds high. And ugly? We disagree.

Last year for the 5.0 was the 93; 94-97 had the 4.6. Both made 205 hp, but yeah, not a lot.

94-95 LX means a Thunderbird LX from 1994 or 1995.

Tougher crowd than I expected.

My mother had an MN12 V6 car when I was a young child. It was reliable...thats all it had going for it.

Was I the only one that had a sad face when they rammed the rocket sled into an Aspire?

I used to be ambivalent on MN12s. Then I tried to fix one. I hate those cars.

MN12 is a farm club for MS13?

Somebody on here used to have one and spoke quite highly of it. I like the car, but almost all of the ones that I see are junkers.

Good riddance. Back in the day, we used to have fleet drive home cars, and I had a cougar version for a week. I never knew how it had the suspension tuned so that you could feel each pebble on the road at the same time as wolloing over the pavement. I get car sick just thinking of it.

I agree. Good thing the test surface they were using last night was nice and smooth, otherwise the car would have been bobbing around too much to conduct the test...

I had one that a co-worker gave me because I like cars. It was valndalized the month before and insurance paid her to get new tires, new glass, new steering column, but no dent repair. The body looked like crap, but it ran like a champ. I put brakes from the junkyard for $50 and sold it for nearly a grand.

The car did the slowest burn-outs Ive ever seen. You could count the rotations.

They also killed two Miata last night just se the difference in a real explosion and a Hollywood explosion.
