What's the word Thunderbird

February 8, 2024
By Jacob Dehner from Cincinnati Ohio
Owns this car

My 1996 Ford Thunderbird with the 4.6 l V8 is not only comfortable but also has good pep despite having 289,000 MI, engine is dead reliable but the transmission is starting to go out. Once I get a new transmission there is no telling how many mustangs I can beat.
