looking for a new (used) car...

he said insurance is a factor....a supercharger isnt going to be great on your insurance so a GTP is out. plus it would be hard to find one in good shape for that price. you could look at the regular grand prix's though. there are always grand am's for sale for all sorts of prices. The SHO would be nice...although I don't know why your looking at it and being concerned with insurance too. Plus from my experience...taurus's arent the most reliable cars especially if u get one that old. Id say look for a 95-96 grand am or grand prix.

I thought SHOs were supercharged?

nah SHO's are NA V6's in teh early years.... actually, the Engine in a SHO (as well as teh suspension as long as it has been taken care of, will last for a lot longer than your typical taurus. no trucks, sorry Dustin...

81-87 cutlus supreme 2 door of course. throw some rims on it and maybe some switches. make sure you buy it from the original owner. or you could get a monte carlo ss for about 4 grand. not your style? go honda/acura.

a golf would be pretty tight.

but i still say go with the accord. all accords have massive amounts of trunk space. good for car audio and hauling around dead bodies.
