GOTCHA! you thought i was gonna say an opti didnt you! HA!
140K and the original OPTI!

actually, its time for the LT1 to get a friend to help her out...she needs a playmate...one that will let her rest when she gets bitchy, naggy, or too hungry...but still wants only the best rides and the best love....yes...

its time for the beater selection!

im looking into getting a beater car...but a decent one.
one that can drive from FL to NY reliably at any time
has to be at least a V6, not a 4 (unless its a KA24DE, or a JDM SR20DE motor)
Not an SUV
Be in an acceptable cosmetic condition, meaning...not borderline totaled, not more than one color unless its from the factory, and the interior is in such an acceptable condition that you would allow a girl to ride in it on a first date and you dont have to feel embarrased by letting her in it
Does not have to be the coolest car around, but has to be comfortable
It has to have a working audio system, working PW, PL, PS, Tilt wheel, and preferably functioning cruise control.

Looking to stick around 3000 bucks total, and go somewhere that i can get cheap monthly payments

here is my list so far of options
96-99 Ford Taurus with teh 3.0L Vulcan motor (i used to own one...and dont laugh, but it was the best car i have ever owned)
92-97 Nissan 240 (ill take a 5spd, good to learn on!)
95-98 Ford Crown Vic
93-96 Chevy caprice/classic

anyone else have any other good options?
