Well guys, my 73-87 days are coming to an end

With the economy the way it is, gas prices, etc etc, I just can't keep the chevy.

I'm getting 11mpg right now in my truck, and I've got it leaned out pretty far to help with gas mileage.

Also, I'm out of a job, and the several job interviews I've been to have asked me what I drive, and when I tell them, they almost immediately end the interview. People think because it's 28 years old that it won't be reliable. Nevermind the 8 grand I've put into the drivetrain the the last two years.

So with that said, it has to go.



When it does get sold, I'm buying the car below. It's a 2000 Crown Vic, P71 police interceptor. Ex cop car. Buying it from my buddy, he said he'd hold it till I sold my truck. It's got about 95k on it, but it's solid. Even with the 4.6, my buddy was getting 17-18mpg in the city with easy driving. It's just something I can get in and drive, it has more room, it's comfortable and quiet, it's just all around a better option. I know it's a F*rd, and I'll always be die hard chevy, but I've ALWAYS wanted one of these.





I see a code 3 push bar and a CB radio to fake people out in the near future
