<< a loaded Accord can come damn close to $40k >>




on what planet?

my g/f and I have been looking for a V6 EX Accord coupe for months, that's about as top of the line as you can get, and even the MSRP on that is $25k... the only way it'd push 40 is if you stuck a civic in the trunk...

I'm still not completely sold on the idea of a CS minivan but join the Shelby-Dodge Mailing List and post that you have it and see if anyone has more info on it. Some people on there will decode your VIN number for you too to give you more info. If it was made adn there were only 100 it would be one of the rarest shelby-dodges there is and they can give you some advice on preservation and even selling if you're interested. Btw if its a turbo it can quite easily be made to be a real rocket, if you want more info there let me know and I&quot;ll hook you up with some links :)

LOL!
Couldn't help but laugh.
I'm almost in the same position as him.
My car is a boat and I dont brag it's fast (it isn't), but I do brag about the torque.
Heck I love going from Niagara Falls to Toronto all in 4th gear without shifting :D ;)
BTW: My cars weighs over 4000lb's, I wonder what you're buddy would say to that :D

This is what I get: &quot;Nice Monte Carlo&quot;..

Ack..

No.. It's a Buick Turbo Regal.

Was worse when I first got it, had a badly bent budget muffler shop Monte-style (Exiting under the rear bumper) rear exhaust. Replaced that with a nice 2.25 dual stainless catback w/Hooker Maxflows.. A little drone, but not too bad.

Did anyone else notice the only American automaker in the Top 10 is Buick? ;)
