'05 Thunderbird

I've been thinking of buying an '05 Thunderbird because I really like the looks of that car. The new Mustang is okay and may have more power, but it just screams "boy racer" and they are everywhere and for me, I wanted something a little more grown up and a little classier. Besides, you don't see a lot of them around. I hear they are very comfortable and make great cruisers and have the added benefit of a hardtop. I am not a fan of the wheel options that came with them, so I would think putting on a set of Torq Thrust D's would look great on a black one. Anyone have one and any thoughts on the car itself?

Re: '05 Thunderbird

If you are over 6ft, or even close, then forget about it. My knees are in the dash, and have to crick my neck to even drive it, or slouch down in the seat.

However, they are fun to drive, same basic platform as a Lincoln LS.

BTW... I'm 6' 4", so it makes it really uncomfortable to drive.
