Hello,
As you can tell from the title, I am a noobie from NJ. I was a former ricer with a 2000 Mitsubishi eclipse. I had it for over 6 years and it surprisingly proved to be very reliable. Although I found it to be reliable, I started not to like the negative attention I received from police and other ricers as a grew older. I wanted a larger 4 door car. I fell in love with Full size cars after driving my friends 89 Fleetwood. It made me start looking for my next car. Of course, I wanted something newer and it needed to be as reliable as my eclipse was too me.
I was doing some research for a few months on Crownvic.net and other sites on the web. I was surprised how loyal Panther owners are. It made me feel comfortable to know that a panther was right for me. (plus they are dirt cheap used)
I bought an 06 crown vic LX in Feb 07 which I so humbly called it "Frank the Tank" It had 10,000 miles on it and I got it for $13grand. Other than a small scratch on the lower passenger side front bumper cover the car is in great condition.
Although Its not a Marauder (I can dream, Can I?), I hope to gain some knowledge and meet some members along the way. I am also On Crownvic.net and Grandmarq.net too.
As far as customization.
It has 17" 06 Mustang GT wheels
Marauder spoiler
an LED 3rd brake light.
and I converted to Dual exhaust. Im using Summit turbo Mufflers.
Enough talk, Here are the pics.
