The test car is even the same exterior and interior color as mine. And I looooooooove the old ads in here. Inside the front cover is an ad for the "All new" Mustang GT with 225hp and 300ftlbs. There's even a gun store ad showing semi auto SMGs :mullet:

Good ebay find! I remember in college searching the old motor trends, at the library, and finding that exact article. Of course I had to make copies on the color copier (pretty cool for mid 90s). I still have the color copies today.
