[QUOTE="johnwartjr, post: 9185, member: 2176"] That SRT-4 must not be stock :) I remember when the model was new, and it had about half of that. I drive old cars and put my money into pinball machines and camera gear! I've been driving a 95 Thunderbird SC since 2002 or so. It is starting to get a little rough and a little tired, but I do most of my own wrenching on it. I hope to get at least another 3-4 years out of it before it gets too expensive to maintain or becomes unreliable. Drive it 12 months of the year, it gets a little interesting in snow, but does dang well. I don't mind RWD in snow. I figure it has somewhere around 200k on it, but the odo quit years ago at 118,800 :) I haul my pinball machines in a 1990 Dodge Ram with a liftgate. It has about 250k miles on it. I bought it for $400 from an Arcade route operator I bought ~30 pinball machines from a few years ago. Wife has a 1996 Explorer that does a good job hauling our kids and dealing with the occasional snowstorm in the winter. It's got about 140k on it, bought it from my folks who bought it new. Only downside to it is the higher cost of maintenance - not a lot I can do to it in my driveway, although I did have a good time changing the rear leaf spring shackles on it earlier this year with my wife's uncle.
