The crown Vic stat is sure interesting. All that boatiness for only 400 more lbs than an accord is a pretty good deal. Brb, going to buy a 40 year old big body

    And half the horsepower and half the fuel mileage. 🤣

    The only reason I know either of those two stats is that my dad's first car was the aforementioned Mustang, and my family had an 85 LTD CV bought new in 85.

    It was a good car as far as it goes, and comfy as all get out, but it was definitely thirsty as fuck.

    Takes a lot of dead dinosaurs to ride in supreme comfort. I was a valet (parker not rich guy dresser) for a few years and the land yachts were the most comfortable to drive and ride in by far. I would see cars that looked more comfortable but they usually had separate drivers.

    The sad thing is how good some of those family cars that were so god damn pedestrian 20 years ago are now.

    I drove one of the v6 Camrys with the 8 speed... 300hp and half a second faster over the quarter than the gt86... Sure its not manual.and isnt rwd but for a daily... it fucking slapped. "iT cAnT dRiFt" yeah I'm a 40yo man with two kids seats in the back, I'm not trying to tackle Mt Akina.
