Hey, help me back this thing up please!!!!

Must be the old geezer coming out in me but I floated this thing home yesterday. I don't like a Ford product but I put near 3000 miles on one of these several years ago and fell in love with it. This one only had 36000 on the ticker, not too bad for an 02.
(now donning fire proof vest for the flames)

Got an 03 with only 12000, wifes car. Gets 20 mpg out on the highway and about 15 around town. Great ride. Same platform as the Crown Vic and the Lincoln town car. Been a Ford owner all my life. Only bought the truck because I was sick of working on big Block (460) Vans that I towed the trailer with. Definately didn't want to work under the hood of a V 10.

Is the trunk large enough to hold your arsenal?

Joel,
Your kids might just as well start looking for the home they are going to put you in now

Nice ride, nothing wrong with a floater, brand don't matter, as long as it gets the job done, works well and is priced right.

I see a prime candidate for "Pimp My Ride"

Well, the wife can't get in and out of the Jeep and I need three four wheel drives like I need another, er ah, well, you know. Her Jap ride is 4 WD so one had to go. Hated to leave the Jeep but some times you gotta do what you gotta do I guess.

Read the manual. I know a guy that had one and there was some kind of special procedure that had to be done when replacing the battery. Don't know for sure what it was or if he was drinking when he said that.

Those are some nice crusing cars.

Dude, you can fit like three bodies in the trunk of one of those! Nothing wrong with that! I like it.

NICE!!! I love my C.V. in my sig. They are great cars. 135000 on mine and runs flawless. I took a 3 hour trip, all interstate driving, and got 25 mpg. I'm 27 years old and have been driving these C.V. and caprices since i was 16 so don't worry about looking old.

Coolness. I was trying to find some technical info on this 4.6 modular engine but have not had a lot of luck yet.
