Drive it with more emotion. Even FWD pigs like a Tarus can be made to oversteer in corners, given the right amount of, ahem, influence.
My Subaru Legacy was a rather boring car, until I started to practice my late apex techniques when I came across an on or off ramp! BTW: I drove that thing to nearly 200k miles - and after some time, it was fun to see how reliable that car was despite all the abuse it took! However, I doubt that a Tarus can last that long without any major issues...
Disclaimer: I am not advocating breaking the law -- but some spirited driving around on-ramps within the bounds of the law can wake up any boring car.

I do drive it with emotion! I don't abuse it, but I definitely push it. The secret is significantly lower tire pressure in the rear to get the understeer to go away...
I guess I'll give Craig's list a try (heard of it, but never even been on the site before).
