Cant believe you have turned your back on the crown vic, whenever I come to America and ride in one they like the Lincoln town car remind me of Homer Simpsons belly the way they just slowly soak up wobbles......

You will find the stand suspension stiff after the crownie.......

No matter what I drive, the Crown will always be my favorite. It is like driving a sofa down the road. They are incredible cars.

They don't let you drive your own car around the track.

I picked the car up in Munich. It was my second Euro Delivery.
I then picked it up at the US Factory and drove their M3 around the track all day.
I am also doing a 2 day M school next year!

They used to. Of course, a few guys crashed so they probably stopped it. We used to have bicycle races out there too until a nucklehead promoter held an event without insurance. They haven't allowed another bicycle event since. Let me know when you're up here for the driving school. We'll arrange a little Spartanburg GTG.

Nice car!! I just sold my first mid-life crisis car in November. I wasn't driving it. I still have MLC car number 2 though.
This was MLC car #1

OP your Mustang is beautiful!

Drove the PI version of the Crown Vic back in the day. Those things were absolute rocket sleds!
