    Which car has the best shot of getting you there and back with no issues? If both, which gets better MPG?

      they're both pretty matched on all those points... 15-16/21-22... both are running great... by then, the 88 won't be leaking near as much oil as the lower intake/valve cover gaskets will be replaced... so meh. Which car y'all wanna see? The boom box or the one that might do well at the drag strip?

                3 votes for the vic in comments... but only 2 votes up top... (I voted for the vic since the seat is a little more comfy for long trips)

                I will miss the boom from the Mad Marquis though... those subs are awesome in that car.

                    Transplant would suck as ripping it out of the 88 would leave holes and supplimenting the Vic would cost more monies.

                              you could, but it would be impractical. Drive the 88 100 yards, park it and walk back to the Vic. Drive it 200 yards, walk back to the 88, etc. Basically you'd have walked from Texas to PA by the time you get there.

                              Other options involve towing one with the other, but from experience they don't much like that kind. I've done it a couple times, and honestly I don't reccomend it.
