Used to have a 911. Now drive a 2002 Town Car. Why do I need to go around corners fast? Of course I'm a lot older now. The 911 was hard to drive, well for one thing because it was the old style with the long-throw shifter and super heavy clutch, literally a workout. But also I got tickets all the time. Got a ticket for rolling thru a stop sign at 2mph. Then I stuck to cars that the cops don't hate.

Bought a crown vic a few years ago during covid. Wasn't really what I was after but it was a solid car for the price. Came with a K9 cage. Learned to love this car. I'm a crown vic fan now. A few days ago some lady in an SUV cuts me off at a light and flips me off. Tons of obnoxious stickers on the back of her SUV. I blare my horn at her. I see her look into her mirrors back at me, mouth drops open a little and then she slams on the brakes in the middle of the road. She stares in her mirror back at me for like 5 seconds, just stopped in the middle of the road for about 5 seconds. She starts to cry. She pulls over to the shoulder. I slowly drive by and see her rummaging through her glove box. I realize what she thinks. I drive off very satisfied. Car was worth every penny just for that moment. I've had what I presume to be people mistake me for a cop before but that moment was just (chef's kiss) priceless. Crown Victoria. The only car that can make Karen's cry by your mere presence.

These are great cars. As long as you keep up with the maintenance they're reliable and pretty damn tough. I've got a 2008 P71 and it has been amazing. Around 160k miles now and not a single issue so far! I just switched up the look recently. I took off the pushbar and steel wheels + center cap, put on my mach 1 chin spoiler and put on fan blade wheels that are originally off of a mustang. I had the car painted recently (coach black color) and had these wheels painted the same color! I did a chrome delete on the car as well when it was painted, and had the honeycomb grill carbon fiber dipped. I also straight piped the car but left the resonator on, it sounds very nice but not too loud for me. It basically just sounds like a muscle car lol. FYI: If you ever need a new center console, you can use one from a 2003-05 ford explorer! I have a 04 explorer center console it my vic, it fits perfectly and I got it very cheap from a junk yard. It looks great as well and looks OEM in the car.

I much prefer the Mercury Grand Marquis. I have one, a 2006 model, that I've had for 9 years. It currently has 281,000 miles on it. I recently bought a like new 2007 model with only 47,000 miles on it. The Grand Marquis and the Crown Vic are basically the same car, but the Grand Marquis is more luxurious. Softer ride, softer seats, and it has a 2.73 rear axle, which means it will cruise at 65 mph just above idle. That's one of the reasons why it lasts so long. It will also get 30 mpg at 65 on flat roads with the cruise control on. Ideal for taking cross country trips.

Yours is beautiful, pristine. I think I saw only 5 digits on your odo as well. I got my grey ex-OPP 2011 at a dealer I found via Kijiji in Scarborough the week the pandemic started. Carfax said it was in use 2011 to 2019. Yours doesn’t seem to have the typical front wheel arch rust holes that mine did. A few other P7B’s I’ve seen for sale in the last year are equally free of rust. Makes me wonder if the OPP like Toronto and London police departments stored them a couple years before use, in which case they might have Krown-ed or Rust Check-ed them on arrival, even the once. I bought new Ford fenders from a Ford online parts dealer after attempts at repair by a “pro” then myself. First thing I did was replace the thermostat, as read cold. Then new magnaflow cats, which in retrospect I didn’t need. Then new ford steelies. Then Firestone firehawk GT pursuits ( the eagle RSA’s were way to slippery on wet pavement) and Firestone pursuit winters. How are your fenders, quarter panels and rocker bottoms?

@@aeyb701 I'm in the UK and the police back in those days (Motorway / Freeway type) used many very fast cars. Eg: Tuned Range Rover Sport, BMW M5, Volvo T5's (Stage 2), They even had a handful of Mitsubishi EVOLUTION cars in most uk counties. They still drive very fast cars today too. (Not for inner city patrols obviously) But for the Motorway they are packing plenty of power. They use quite a lot of Fast Audis as well. A4 & A6's all running at least stage 1 maps.

The cops will realize it’s a retired patrol car and it’s already sold so there should be nothing to be concerned about if anyone sees a police car that has its spotlight in the aiming position but it can’t be adjusted to be put down they’ll have to realize it’s not a cop it’s just an old police car not used by the police anymore

@@davidquinn9676 lol where did you get that idea from? In most cases they would pull you over for having your spotlight aimed up in that position, so why would they go through the trouble of doing something that's going to upset themselves every time they see it? that makes absolutely no sense. In most cases they usually remove them all together along with all other police impersonating equipment. This one is just stuck up because who ever installed it did not engage the handle into the gears properly. The current owner just needs to do a little research on how to take his apart and put it back together and it should be fully functional again. They're a little finicky to put together.

@@grancaminodrivingclub 😆While not surprised to learn of Canada's existence, I will confess to being surprised to learn that the Crown Vic has a following north of the border. I think of that as a part of U.S. car culture - and really a largely regional subset of our car culture. I assume you agree with me though: not advisable to try 0 to 100mph runs on a country road for fun. 🚓🌳

In the states that’s probably considered as being an impersonator or „whacker“, but here people tend to celebrate seeing these giant dinosaurs, not really fitting in any parking space and only known from Hollywood movies, in real life.
