It's not my fault it was a great deal on a car and it's holding up perfectly!

My son drove a 2003 P71 until last summer when he traded it in on his G8 GT. Those Crown Vics in the P71 package are great cars, and they are performance "sleepers." I was always surprised at how well my son's car cornered for such a big vehicle. The only problem with them is that you buy them used, generally after a police department has beat the bejabbers out of it. It's hard to find one in really clean condition that doesn't have a few rattles and squeaks in it. Also, as more and more departments go to the smaller cars, the P71s are going to eventually disappear. Too bad.
