I know back in Minnesota the trend among the "twentysomethings" is to drink either craft beer or local brands that their grandpa's might have drunk back in the '50's and '60's. Back in the Midwest this would mean brands like Grain Belt or Leinenkugel's, here in Texas I suppose it's Lone Star and Shiner.

Back down to 3 cars. The 4th car I picked up was a 2012 Fusion Sport. Bought it from my cousin with hail damage, fixed the worst oft he damage, and gave it to my BIL for HS Graduation.

If I buy that Taurus this week we will be sitting at 7 in our stable, although that will probably be very short-lived because if I decide to use the Taurus as the wife's new daily driver we will sell the '05 Escape, and if I decide to keep it as one of my "toys" I will sell one of my other cars -- probably the '87 LTD.
Pretty nice graduation gift -- WAY nicer vehicle than the '97 Ranger I gave to my niece up in Burleson.....

This is what I tell everyone: "There is no such thing as too many cars, but 5 is the point at which they start to become a total PIA.....!!!"

It will come down to which car I like better as my "large car driving experience" -- the '08 Taurus with 3200 miles or the '87 LTD with 4200 miles. I'm kind of hoping I don't love driving the Taurus, which will make it a very easy decision to simply use the Taurus as a daily driver and sell the Escape.

An 87 with 4200 miles. That's averaging like 140 miles a year. You have an experience driving it that much? Reason I'm asking is I put more miles a year on my race car driving the same 1/3 mile oval 10 days a year.

680hp out of a yota would be a good conversation starter though
give me a new z06 and mustang gt
or hellcat challenger and a new gt350 (this would be my choice)
or a nissan GTR and a base f150
680hp now days is nice, but not crazy.
