Of those 3 cars, the GTP's your best bet for an only car. I'm on my 3rd W-Body (5th if you count parts cars) and I don't think you can really beat them for a DD. If you had a beater truck or decent winter driver, then I'd look at the F-Body.

Thanks ill keep the winter in mind! Is it true about 97-98 GTP that they were GT 'add-ons' and not a separate trim level? I think insurance would just see it as a GT then if i'm not mistaken.

For sure, I was just figuring that some all-season tires and grandma driving would do the job
