Re:2 Years (Score 1)

I love my '86 Crown Vic! Gets 20 MPG and the sign on the back reads, "Don't laugh. It's paid for". At 208,000 miles, it still has the original engine and tranny and drives as good as the day it was made. It's only needed minor repairs. I'm looking to replace it with another just like it with fewer miles, keeping this one as a backup. I can buy a good used Crown Vic for about $1,500. It's a shame that the "Cash for Clunkers" program destroyed so many decent, affordable used cars and their parts just to give dealers one month of good business.
