I grew up driving RWD cars, that's what I like, & I'll die before I change. The only 4 door RWD car GM will sell me nowdays is a Caddy CTS/CTSV. If I have to spend Cadillac money just to get what I want, then I'm also going to be looking at Benzes & Bimmers. This car would make a nice DD replacement for me, but I guess I'll be keeping the Impala SS a few more years. Or looking somwhere else.

FWD sucks. Always has, always will.

Nobody does. But I would like to be able to buy a new V8 RWD 4 door Chevy to replace my old V8 RWD 4 door Chevy.

Who remembers when you could order an Interceptor engine?

Cause they're super durable, comfortable and who cares if it gets scratched. Plus I can't take my Shelby everywhere.

I did. I've had one for about a year (p71 Crown Vic) 41,500 miles for 4 grand thanks to a donated car auction. perfect for crappy weather and running to the hardware store or the shooting range which is smack dab in Inglewood with only street parking.

To bluff your way past the real police instead of getting pulled over.

I drive one now. Too much obviously no longer a cop car to avoid the attention of cops. Now all it does is slow down people in front of me.

I've often thought, half-joking, it ought to be against the law for anyone but a police agency, to buy a white Impala, Crown Vic or Grand Marq.



Damn things are everywhere and they make everyone around them slow down, just in case...

But a lot of the agencies around Nashville are changing to dark-colored Chargers, so it's becoming a wash. Graphite-gray Chargers, black Chargers...

Yep - my parents used to have a 2001 Crown Vic with the P71 Interceptor package. It was a fun car. They ordered it that way.

I'll pass.

They sell the retired police cars here for like $500. They're all over the place.
