Heh, a friend of mine got a '98 Crown Vic Police Interceptor at an auction . . . . . . I am so jealous. Its got the whole 'interceptor' package, which means nice beefed up V-8 complete with cop tires, bigass steel bumber thingy on the front . . .. . ..

and the funny thing is that the rear doors don't open from the inside. Its such a nice car . . . . . .. . .

Then there's the Taurus SHO, the ultimate "sleeper". 0-60 in 6.4 seconds (Source: Car and Driver), Top Speed of 141 MPH (Source: Me :D). Mine is a pristine completely stock white '94 with a 5-speed manual. The engine is a 3.0 liter V6 that's actually made by Yamaha. This is what mine kinda looks like (I don't have a sunroof or a front license plate).

what i REALLY want is one of those new Mercury Marauders. Cop everything, Grand Marquis sized, but its got a nice pseudo-lux interior and sound system. And it only comes in black with black leather interior . . .and its grill is matte black vertical peices of metal. Its really mean looking, i want it.

I remember hearing about the Marauder two years ago, and couldn't wait for it to come out. Then this last Summer, when it finally showed-up at the local dealership, I found out that it was actually slower than my SHO. Given that the SHO was both paid for and faster, I got cold feet and walked away dissapointed.

Things are looking up 'cause Ford may build this, the 427. 590 HP in a big ol 'merican sedan. Life is sweet :).

course, old school would be nice, also, I'd take the '74 dodge police car from the Blues Brothers.

Twenty years ago, when I had far less sense, a buddy dragged me to an auction house where they were auctioning off vehicles for the city of Los Angeles. He wanted me to go so I could drive his car home in case he bought a car at auction. Well, he ended up buying *two* ex-LAPD detective cars. They were both 1970 Plymouths, each with 383 ci engines. I ended-up buying, for $550, a 1971 Plymouth Satellite that had the nicest sounding "383 Magnum" engine you could imagine. It was the ultimate "beater". If God owned a muscle car, I'd be willing to bet it sounded just like my car. If you've ever seen the movie Bullitt, my ol' Plymouth sounded just like that '69 Charger. But, alas, the fun (temporarally) ended when the timing chain broke and took all sixteen valves with it. After saving enough money to get the heads rebuilt, I took the whole top of the engine to the world-renowned Mopar builder, Dick Landy, out in the San Fernando Valley. Parked out front was a most beautiful sight: A completely stock-looking '69 426 Hemi-powered Charger Superbee I knew immediatly that I was in the right place :D (I would later find out that the superbee belonged to Dick's son, Robert).

A month later I got my heads and intake manifold back and installed them. And as I had hoped, I was rewarded with a small but very noticable boost in horsepower (Did I mention it sounded good too?). I drove that car for another five years until I was T-boned by a driver, who I would later find out, had gotten four tickets in the previous year. My beloved battered old Plymouth was totaled:(.

I'm hoping that the whole mid-life crisis thing kicks in soon so that I can justify buying one of those muscle cars that I remember on the streets of my youth. While I'm waiting, maybe I'll go rent "Bullitt" one more time :D.

(Brandon, what am I doing wrong, I can't get it to show as an image)

Unfortunaly, I learned about loss of traction the expensive way, and now need to either rebuild it or buy a new one. I so want to rebuild it, but don't know what is broken or even how to tell if something is broken.:(

(Ice on corner, met curb at 15-20 MPH. Wheel shoved against the wheel well. Drove it home on the mini-spare)

Wanna sell me a car for cheap?
Or even better, long distance help rebuild my car?:)

While I drive a Saturn SL1 for day to day use, I prefer the white short bus that our team takes to local competitions. We got into a race with a short bus from a YMCA on the expressway once. The thing about that short bus is, the speedometer only goes to 50, and you could probably soup it up with an old Keyang motor.

Over 100 mph.

A silver 1998 Nissan frontier. 2WD and 4V, which makes one wonder why it's even a truck in the first place.

I drive a polynesian green (you know, that really really, almost day glo bright green) geo metro. The only car that has only 3 cylinders and a grand total of 55hp. Her name is Thelma. :) She might be only a step above a lawnmower...but I love her anyway. :D

88 bronco, 4wd, nice sounds system, 5 speed, baby hauls, black w/ red interior, ive almsot tipped it about 10 times, that is why they discontinued them, hehe, WHOS THE CRAZY ONE NOW

1997 Lexus ES300

1996 Ford Contour. Nice little red thing. The driver-side door is a pain to get open...sometimes I just get in the passenger side. The battery got replaced recently. The cig lighter doesnt work (not that I smoke...but charging my phone would be nice)

I added a Pioneer HU ($180 or so), Kenwood 5x7's for front (5707 or something like that) and just recently Infinity 5x7's for the rear. I should have bought 6x8's since that's what actually fits the car...but nooo...I get 5x7's...well, all I can say is that I got to drill 8 new holes in my car :P Now I'm installing new Infinity front's for my sis's 99 Contour (8 more holes in her car! but I ended up with leftover screws...not sure where they came from)

I can also drive a 00 or 01 Ford Focus or a ...uhh...I forget the year...the older-style Chevy trucks...it's pretty new...just not the new styling. It was RIGHT before they switched.

Ohh yeah...and my car hasn't been washed since summer. They put cinders on the highway and I live on a dirt road. My car looks brown. Heh...there's mud on the roof of my car. Big puddles are fun :D
