Kromolly Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 Yeah, I'm in the business of surplussing (and buying) cop cars. That's the cleanest looking 'Vic I've seen. That had to be an administrative or detective staff car, not patrol. Very nice. Those things were great cop cars, absolute tanks. All of this new unibody stuff is too fragile and expensive.

Not that they are likely to come to Wales...

Looking at the charts you have provided, and thankyou for that, Shows why I miss my old '10 Charger RT with the 5.7 and AWD. .

The last Crown Vic has finally met the auctioneer. I have read that they have (had?) a handful of 5.7L Chargers in the Mojave Desert area where they might be needed. They also have some Tahoes. Pickups with camper shells are used for truck enforcement. Snowy areas have had Expeditions and Durangos, not sure now. Might be Tahoes.
Captain Spaulding Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 My daily driver is an 07 GMC Sierra, had it 6 years now and hands down the best truck I've ever owned. Except for a motor swap last year no issues with it.

I owned an '87 Si, saw this in town and had to take a picture. I wanted to get the green, but would have had to wait a couple of months, so went with boring Orchid White. Maybe will repaint Lamborghini orange someday. I also own a '68 Chevy pickup. I was disappointed to hear there will be no more 2 door Civics in the US!?

One reason I got this, was because Subaru doesn't have a WRX coupe. I can understand costs of having several body shells, but not everyone has a family to haul around.

I am really surprised at how large the trunks are on these things. I live near a popular bike trail, and there is a guy with an Si coupe that rides here almost daily. His bike fits in the trunk and the trunk closes.
Sledsel Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 My daily. Comfy, dependable, not bad on fuel for what it is.

Kromolly Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 My daily driver, 2000 BMW 740i M Sport, flagship BMW that cost $64k in 2000. I bought it for $4,000 9 years ago, put a timing chain in it and about 80k miles on it. Great car and cheap wheels. One of my favorite cars I have ever owned.

Great car, we had E38 as well, back when BMW's were wonderful. Imola Red Sport here bought new, I see it and love it each time. Drive in health,

I had an 86 G.M several years back, my sister found it at a garage sale, they were giving it away. The motor was blown, but car was in great shape otherwise, except the vinyl top looked like alligator skin. So a used motor and new top and I had a nice cruiser.
