  • Speaking of cop cars...

    ...no, I didn't get a ride in a real one. I got my "geezer" white 93 crown vic back from my brother. I got it in 2003 from an older gentleman I had worked with years ago. I drove it for about 3 years, and it got in a few fender benders, the trans was slipping more, it smoked some, and it ended up with about 180k miles on it. When I got it back, it smokes more, the trans is about the same, the driver window doesn't work (I taped it "up"), the odometer stopped at 189,143 miles, and it has slightly better crappy tires. And the AC still works! as does the cruise control. I'm driving in style now

    Before



    After




    This car has single exhaust, and doesn't have the cop car shocks, brakes, mill or any of that good stuff except the white paint.

    I don't know whether to feel happy or sorry for you.

          Congratulations, man. You've just inherited the "Patron Saint of Automotive Lost Causes" from me. No question.

            My friend had a white 92 for a while before he wrapped it around a pole, fun car, used to love scaring people in it
            Rumors of my demise by rollover have been greatly exaggerated.

              Cars like these are bad for your 'Average Car Age Score', or ACAS! ;)

              I see why they were scared in the first place

                    I probably won't have it for long, it's way too practical (boring)
