  • Bought Myself A "New" Car

    Well, new to me, anyway.

    I didn't need another car, but at knock-down pricing, I couldn't say "no" to this high-mileage but good-shape beauty...



    Time to go scare the kids in the neighborhood.

    (Yes, that is an old police car)

    I was just wondering today if you were OK, as long as it's been since we've seen you!

        And driving that thing around on the highway will pretty much be like parting the Red Sea.

          I use to be a part time driver of a silver Crown Vic, and later a silver Dodge Charger (in Ohio). In both cases, I saw a lot of brake lights on the highway

          Loved the Charger, but my late Wife's grandmother 'gently rolled it over, off the side of a country road, and replaced it with a Ford (con)Fusion.

            *brake lights

            (Sorry, that's one of my pet peeves. Also "bumber", and "truck" instead of "trunk".)
            “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
            One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
            The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

              I see break lights all the time, on the cars of people I don't like when I have my baseball bat

              People probably have caught on by now that the ol' Crown Vic is out of service as a front-line police cruiser, but, I probably will scare the occasional person who hasn't yet noticed the proliferation of the Explorer Police Utility yet.....

                Well, the drive home was enlightening

                Motorists who passed me very hesitantly : 10
                Motorists who refused to pass me even if I drove below the limit : 5
                Motorists who blew past me and then went full "BROWN ALERT" and slammed on brakes: 2
                Waves from complete strangers : 2
