So last weekend I got to spend my weekend driving around in my girlfriends Grand Marquis. We has somewhere to be Saturday and decided to take her car instead of my Jetta. I have an unhealthy love for driving this car. Even though it is the signature old woman car with the light blue and all, it is so good to drive. The car is mint, it only has 50k miles and its an 03. Its got bench seats and a column shift and even though its an auto, they just don't make cars like that any more. The era of the big V8 boat with the power at the rear is gone. I think that why I like it so much. Its no race car but its smoother than any car you can get now days and its not fast but if you get into it it just wafts you along smoothly. I just love driving it around but at the same time I'm happy to be driving my car again.

The steering feel is nonexistent and that's the point. My friend has one of these (he hoons it daily) and I've driven it. It's a boat.

Shit, if he won't put a ring on it, I just might.

They are sooo easy to get sideways. Just put some magnaflow dual exhaust on it and a cold air intake and let that V8 breath.

I believe Dodge would like a word with you.

Does the Magnaflow setup address the horrendous crimping that occurs on the factory exhaust (single or dual) over the axle?

It still has to go up and over like a crazy straw, but the magnaflows should help a bit on the crimps.

Its not the same though, its not the same big lofty comfortable car that the grand marquis/ crown vic are and I have enough of a beef with that car because since when is this ...

the same as this ...

If it was named something else or had two doors it would be the right car. what I'm saying is the charger shouldn't be a big sedan. Not saying its not a good car but I don't believe in it.

Bench seats = easy road head

It doesn't even need that it has a straight axel and you have a right foot. The tires will aabsolutely break loose.

Yeah it does it literally floats down the road. its kinda nice sometimes. I mean for full time hoon purposes its no good being all floaty but at the same time its kinda a cool feeling.

Ok. True, although the rental Charger I've driven was pretty softly sprung...but, let's try this again, though:

I've only ridden in a 300 but it was pretty comfy...

Like I said I'm not saying any of these are bad cars or come from a bad line of heritage because the 300 sure does but basically its (I hate to say it) the last of the regular sedans like its still the same car as it was 30 years ago

it uses the same formula the new sedans are much better. They are able to be sports cars back in the day if you had 4 doors you drove a boring car now you can get a 4 door street machine off the showroom floor like the SS or thr SRT cars

My unhealthy lust has gotten to the level that one of the main things I troll CL for is an early aero panther, preferably on steelies and well worn

Trust me, it needs the extra V8 soundtrack for that America Fuck Yeah!

I know it's bad I wish that when I had the money for a project car I would have bought an ex cop car instead of the 4runner money pit
