I'm holding onto my 97 SC

I've been driving one of these since 2004. Never giving it up. This is an awesome touring car. The big v8 provides consistent power all through the range. I have 48k miles on mine - so I expect this car is similar. I can be at 40 and ask for 80 - she goes. I can be at 80 and ask for 120 - no hesitation. It's a heavy car - so not meant for track days. But I had to drive halfway across Iowa once - I settled into the leather, pointed the big shiny nose west and let her roll.
