This song made it to Cleveland and is still in regular rotation on our classic rock dinosaurs...

Plenty of it on Jalopnik for the most part, though I always do my part to keep it alive!
Dun-dun-DUNNNNNNN!
Hard to say. I see a lot of wheels I'd also add on my list - '70s Pontiac T/A honeycomb wheels, some beautiful Porsche wheels, the always-classic Cragar S/S. I'd also put the vented Mopar vented police dog dish caps/steelies on my list, as well as the Pontiac 8-lug, Olds Rallye, and the Magnum 500. But I guess since…
+1 on the 2003-04 Marauder (here's a picture of an actual production car, not the concept). You can get a nice one with around 100k on it for $6-8k now, parts are plentiful and cheap since it shares many common parts with other Ford vehicles, 302HP stock (and a ton more if you Eatonize), and 25mpg hwy - all from a…
In reference to #1 - "Limited"...I own a 2004 Grand Marquis LS Limited Edition. Underneath, it's all standard LS trim - granny gears, single exhaust, digital HVAC, analog gauges, CD/cassette, overhead console.
That was dairy funny.

As previously stated, Otis was on Stax (not Motown) :D
I resolve to not let my 109k Mercury Marauder turn into a beater. It has seen a lot of open-road cruising and occasional dragstrip time. This past year, I cooked the driver's side head and lost compression. This was in July and didn't get it back on the road until late October (rebuilding in my 1-car garage [or yard,…
In Cleveland, a favorite during inclement weather is to put your hazards (4-way flashers) on. Like, I get it, we're all going 10m.p.F'n.h in a white out. Must you complicate it by putting on a goddamn light show and further distracting me from the road conditions?
With regards to the Interceptor concept, and specifically this: "Edmunds reported that Ford "is completely focused on fuel efficiency, a change in strategy which leaves no room for large rear-wheel drive sedans." Now, cop cars are Tauruses, which are nice, but they're just not the same."
Where in my response did I indicate that I hadn't driven any of the three cars I mentioned? Oh, right, I didn't.
I never thought much about it, but I definitely should be connected to Firebirds. My dad had one most of the time while I was growing up. Whether it was the metallic blue '75 he wrapped around a telephone pole and rebuilt using a '77 front clip (1982-1987), or the white '87 with a 2.8 V6 with 17k miles (1988-1989), or…
...how did I know you'd post on this?
I'm glad to see a few mentions of the Toyobaru twins on this thread. I don't think Jalop had these cars in mind when they asked about "amazing" cars, but given the hype in pretty much all of the rags lately, they've certainly been made out to be the best thing since the Model A. I won't bother making the used…
I would have to exclude I-90 from that. PA only has about 45 miles of it, but 12 of those miles are double-nickel (55mph) and I see at least one or two troopers in that stretch every time I cross PA (once every 2-3 weeks). Not as bad as Ohio troopers, but then again nothing is.

I think Elwood did 'Flip A Bitch' better.
As much as I loved Mercury (I currently own a 2003 Marauder and a 2004 Grand Marquis LS Limited — and am 31yrs old, way younger than the average age of a Mercury owner) I disagree with points 1, 2, and 3. Mercury became irrelevant precisely because of too much platform sharing. Nobody cared about the difference…
It's 'mostly' stock and certainly not the fastest...but it is mine. :D
