Bro, why the f*ck would you KNOWINGLY buy another Piece Of Shit? A 90's model T-Bird? Again? That's one of the WORST examples of a performance vehicle Ford has ever put out on the market.

Not to mention that you already totalled one of them, right? And you're aware that is probably the least cost-effective model Ford makes to modify, right? And you're complaining about money for insurance, so I'm sure that should have been a pre-thought.

Furthermore, you are aware that a V6 4,000 pound car is going to SOAK your gas money right the hell out of your pocket, right? Especially w/your driving style (various speeding/racing issues)...

Stupidest purchase of the month award goes to...........

IMO, you should buy a used Ford Focus, Ford Probe, or even a 4 cylinder Fox Mustang dood. Easily could have picked up one of those models for the same cost. Probably less in insurance money. Better in gas. Cheaper to modify. Much more mod-ability for each platform. And overall, probably safer for you in the long run because those are either FWD, or a VERY under-powered RWD vehicle.
