Aren’t the running lights just on a little knob that has an off position? I know “auto” is the normal position...but the off position is there too.

I think you need to extend that date range through the 1990's There were some special edition 90's cars that got lumped into the crap and forgotten about.

Ford actually stopped making a sedan interceptor a few years ago. At the moment they offer the Explorer, F-150, & Expedition as police vehicles. (and the Transit van as a prisoner transport option)

Our 2020 Ford Explorer PI fully outfitted have run just a hair over $52k each to put them on the road. And then many thousands more in repairs and fuel usage. Over the 3 year life we keep them it isn’t unheard of to see upwards of $10k in repairs not related to body damage.

I rode a blue Traveler III in the 90's when I was in college. Was my dad’s old bike. I fixed it up, put some new tires on it, and rode it everywhere on campus.

Yeah sounds great!

And are we also just letting him slide on the fact that the Jeep picture there alongside the Wrangler is a Grand Cherokee, but he calls it a Compass? I mean, seems like an automotive “journalist” would be able to see the difference...I saw it immediately.

Came looking for this in the comments. My parents owned a mid 80's Colony Park wagon that had those side folding seats. Unfortunately for me, my 2 younger sisters were still in car seats at this time and old sister was deemed “too tall” to sit in the back. So i was forced to sit in the side facing back seat...and on…

Probably a little bit of both. My Gen X sensibilities are shocked when i see a pickup truck with a $70k price tag.

as just a generic top down cruiser I’m okay with this, assuming the mechanicals are sorted and no unseen body issues. Not every car has to be the most extreme version of itself.

This seems like a nice price, even better if you can do the IMS bearing yourself. I believe they did one on one of those car shows,(wheeler dealer maybe) so you could at the very least get a basic idea if it is within your skill set or if you’ll be paying to have it done.

@6:39 “I’m not that ugly”

Right in front of an all girl’s dorm. The girl I was there to see left so it was just me and my motorcycle. The last time I had filled up I accidentally left the knob on reserve...so when I originally parked and heard the engine chug a little, i figured no problem, I still have a whole gallon to get me to the gas…

I don’t hate minivans because I fear growing up...quite the opposite. I hate minivans because I fear they won’t let me grow up. A minivan means kids in the back which means a distracted driver...me riding around on my motorcycle know all too well that minivan NEVER sees me. And will make whatever move is necessary in…

How about the bodies of the marketing team that decided to call this a Mustang....can those be fit in there if they are chopped up?

I’ve been to that lot several times. I scored a full leather interior in perfect shape for my car for less than $100.

But we did end up getting the Dodge Avenger the very next year...so close enough?

The Matrix and the Vibe were the same car.

actually cops hated this car. It was considerably smaller in width than the outgoing Crown Victoria. That made it much more difficult to fit 2 people in the front seat with all the equipment mounted.

Mazda 6 was my initial reaction when I read the requirements.
