We started off with a new Mustang that soon gave away to a motor home so we could haul all six kids, but that was very impractical during the winter months, as the family grew older got two cars for travelling, four in each, as the kids started moving away, my boys insisted that I get a Supra, still have it, still like new, and never saw salt, yup it has the turbo. With the divorce and the money crunch that went with it, plus my accident, had to get a large comfortable car, got a Continental, but could not keep with the repairs on that car, auto transmission, engine, air suspension all went out at the same time, was very discourage, borrowed my son's car and hit every dealer in town, had no idea what I was looking for, but ran across a show room perfect 92 deVille and without any dealing got this car far below trade in value, be apprehensive, I got to use the car for three days before buying it and went through every system in the car, the previous owner took exceptional care of this car, so I purchased it, added about $200 worth of parts to make it perfect, even had the color I like, red leather interior and the silver outside and the thing gets 29 mpg, full six passengers, maybe I should get some more kids now to haul around, LOL. Not sure if I want to go through all that again.
