Crown-Vics are good machines.

We bought a '97 Crown Vic in '99 and it's still a family workhorse. One of my college kids is driving it now. When he was a new driver he had a fender bender with another car. Damages on that car were well over $1000, the Crown Vic didn't even sustain a scratch.

It's the perfect car for a young driver.

When he parts with it I'm thinking of taking it back and giving it a complete refurb (don't tell my wife!)

Very very good. I use to drive a taxi in New York city and these things would be pushing half a milllion miles and still be ripping along. You got to figure they run those Crown Vic taxis non stop 24 hours a day 7 days a week, one guy does a 12 hour shift then another does 12, the engine is always always running except when it needs an oil change, and that’s city driving - stop go speed up brake go brake, they just get the hell beat out of them, and my whole time driving I can’t once think of a breakdown other than a flat tire, and they don’t break down. They only take them off the road after3 years by law.. Now our Envior-weenie Mayor wants to get rid of those types of cars like the Crown Vic and replace them with Al Gore sanctioned ones which should last about month before they melt.
