I dunno yet, they're going to pick it up as we speak. I'll be able to report in about an hour.

And parts are plentiful when it inevitably dies due to neglect.

I DD a Taurus. It's comfy as shit and can carry 6 people if needed. That 3.0 is a sweet powerplant.

You know, not as much as you think! Not like a '90s Buick. Pretty rigid foam.

I'm personally making sure that won't happen.

How many miles?

Yup, Drove my Grandma's 97 Grand Marquis. Good God those seats were comfy .

And it's column shift, too!

How many miles are on it?

As long as it's hoonable, I'm okay with it.

She hates that about it!

"It's an ugly little lever that sticks out of the steering thing. I want a floor shifter"

With practice you can do handbrake turns with that e-brake pedal. Everything is hoonable to a hoon.

If she wants a floor shifter she can get a damn manual. Column shifters ftw!

I'm not sure, but I guarantee it's over 100k.

Just asked; 140,000

Didn't you say her father thinks V6 engines are only good for 120,000?

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > m-b-w loves his SUBAROO
04/28/2014 at 16:22

He did...He makes no sense whatsoever. He drove an Accord with 220k on it, so he doesn't know what he thinks.

Haha around 2008 my Grandmother was thinking of changing her car and my defund grandfathers car as well, they were 2 panthers. One was a 3rd generation white Ford Grand Marquis and the other a 2nd generation Grey exterior blue interior Mercury Grand Marquis. Both of them had benches and my god were they comfortable. My dad used the white one whilst my grandmother drove her new Fivehundred, and he just adored the seats and almost considered taking them off to use them as couches at his office. I even got to drive it once!

At least one Jalop would appreciate bench seats:

I have an aunt that has a Grand Marquis and it has to be one of the most comfortable cars to ride it. Leather benches and digital gauges. I'd kill for a panther.

I think "Will it Roadhead" needs to be a normal thing.
