Did anyone catch that Mobil 1 oil commercial on ESPN tonight (bulls game) about the guy buying retired police vics to convert to taxis, expecting the cars to last another 300k miles?

At the end the guy says to ask him what he drives, and they show either a Crown vic or Marauder, black on black Foose wheels up on a lift. Pretty cool commercial, I can't find it on Youtube.

My guess is it's a CV but that is some dark tint on that car.

Still it's cool!:cool: I saw it last night too (GO HEAT!)! It kinda looked like one. It's kinda funny how NOW they are boasting the reliability of these cars AFTER they stop making them.:rolleyes:

Mobil is trying to ride on the coat-tails of the Panther platform's legendary reliability. The voice-over says the cops are done with the car at 98,000 miles but he expects it to go 300,000 more as a taxi. Newsflash: happens every day, and you don't need Mobil 1 to do it.

Try that with a POS FWD Impala...

Yep, we don't use Mobile 1 in our fleet, last year we pulled some units with the average of 150k, one had 198k. Fleet maintained with the cheapest parts and labor possible.:D

Really cool. One of the car magazines just had an article about a 99 Cobra Vic. It just seemed weird they'd run something like that now

Yeah I say Vic. Also don't see stainless exhaust tips either .Cool commercial though,why they take off valve cover? Guess to show how clean it is inside motor.

Pause it just right and you can see big tips. They appear to be angled right as well, just higher than normal?
