This is actually a great suggestion, but it would be hard to park this car in the city most places, it's just so big.

Paint it yellow and park wherever you please, it's how it's done.

I believe Travis once mentioned that a Panther spec series was on his wish list of classes he would like to have invented.

I am mentioning now that it is a spec series I would like to see Raphael participate in.

Very long-term semi-Opponaut and FP commentator, from before the rise of Kinja. Has a hate-on for the Panther and penchant for trolling on the topic.

Any responsible owner will perform a complete fluid flush and an oil/filter change on day one, but beside that, there's not much to do to keep those beasts running forever.

Thanks it was a gamble but I'm happy wit it so far. Body is a little beat it's spent the last 3 years on dirt roads but it's solid. Most everyone I know asks me why but opponauts know why. Anyone up for rally cross?

Except, y'know, brakes, tires, oil changes, alignments, and any other MAINTENANCE because seriously, to say that a car doesn't need maintenance is straight up wrong.

That's like breathing, peeing and taking dumps. We all do it naturally.

No, it isn't even a little bit like that.

As a crown vic owner I can verify

1- Won't break down- Will eventually

2- Doesn't need maintenance- I've had to do basic maintenance to mine

3- Can be tracked- in progress

4- Inexpensive- true

5- Can rally- in progress

6- Large enough to sleep in it- actually not that great, the seats don't fold flat and can't really lie down in the back if your tall (I'm 6'3" so take that with a grain of salt)

7- Good MPG(I average consistently 19 with a good mix of city and rural roads (45-55)

8- Enthusiast's car- appreciated by many but definitely not a mainstream enthusiasts car

9- Easy to wrench on- verified

10- Space for a laptop so you can blog in real-time- LOTS of space
