An SHO is a good car, but if you're really going to beat it up, you might want to think about trying to find a Zetec powered tour with a MTX. They're always fun to drive.

A Chrysler Cordoba or a Pontiac Parrisienne! They are BIG cars and it takes alot to kill em', trust me I tried!  The cost of the gas and oil is worth it if you want a true beater to "beat" on! :p Stephen
