If your car got totaled, right now....

[Vinsanity]

You wouldn't?

I dunno, if I bought a car every time it randomly popped up in a dream, I'd have like a dozen W126's

I fell in love with it in my dream. Until I hit a wall.

If either the Honduh Oddity or the Opellac Caterror got totalled?  See the Shed of the Week thread my likely replacements.

You're going to have a lot of Voyagers and PT Cruisers.

Supply and demand.  There's plenty of those out there (originally dumped into rental fleets, maybe?) so they tend to be cheap.  You can't beat a hugely practical car with low miles, decent reliability and a near giveaway  price.

Oh, there's plenty of cheap Taurus sedans out there, too.  But I just couldn't.  Not even if you forced me at gunpoint!

I kind of liked the 2000-2005 Taurus for what it is, though I've never driven one. Compared to the GM sedans of that time, Ford just had a far better grasp of how to make a modern interior -- the Impala's seats and dash were firmly in the 1980s style, and nothing else offered that same room for the dollar.

Plus, there's a wagon. Definite bonus points there.

I have to admit, one of those LWB Chysler minivans would make a perfect place of dwelling for a modern-day hobo. Remove the 2nd and 3rd rows of seats, throw an inflatable twin mattress in the back, and find a peaceful spot to park down by the river Just make sure you get one with the windows tinted really dark.

It seems like all Tauruses of that vintage have sagging springs, though.

Hmm.  If this Cheyenne transfer goes through, I may need to sell the car and execute this plan after all.

Cheyenne transfer?  Why?

[2o6]

To enlist in the ASA? (10 points for anyone who gets this reference)

American Softball Association?  No, I don't think he'd do that.

Ever watch the show Jericho?

Yes.  Loved that show.

Sell car what why? Cheyenne get snow, you need the beauty of AWD.

Whoever supplied the rear springs did a horrible job with tempering them or something.

this would be quite tempting

Ditch the chrome wheels and that Lexus starts to look good.

Really?  All I see is a beige Toyota.

[CJ]

Their V8 sounds excellent and they are extremely well built and reliable.  For a cruiser, they're hard to argue with.

They don't get the fuel economy of a Solara.

Gotta get one with Stow 'n Go if you're not going to have somewhere else to keep those seats.

Are you really in a position to make that kind of remark about rebadging?

Take my advice, get this and relive the good old days! 

[nickdrinkwater]

Those SC430s are just wrong.  Heavy, ugly and expensive.  Just don't.

[68_427]

Not all SC430s look terrible.


and the interiors are pretty nice.

[MrH]

  I don't know if I could pick a vehicle I hate more.  Those things are awful.  Less practical than my miata, hideous, drives like shit.  Woof.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

I think those big ass headlights help with the hideous-ness! LOL!!

I swear you like absolutely anything if it's lowered and has too-big wheels on it.
