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.

Thanks for the welcome, I am from Irvington NJ which is a 10 minute ride from the Holland Tunnel. yeah the area is ghetto (most police chases either start or end there), but my car is safe since I live in a really secure gated community.

Ah, I see you're from the 51st state, North Jersey! :D Not that Cherry Hill (South Jersey for those not from the area) doesn't have its crime, most of it occurs, I believe, in the "bedroom" part of the community.:o

As I've discovered, you will find a ton of useful information on this site, and, perhaps, can contribute your own experiences as well.

Frank the Tank NICE Crown VIC!

Welcome, I just joined a month ago and this site is a great resource. I too looked at a CV LX Sport 03 or later until I ran accross the MM. Nothing like an American full size RWD with a V8!
