perhaps it's more reasonable to live w/ the taurus' interior and pay a few $$$ for new motor mounts and dyi

as a student- - makes most sense that the main concern is reliable cheap transportation (persona sans trust fund)...if so, that definition often excludes MB's and older MB's req $$$ too!

just a thought
