I am starting to feel halfway human again. Thanks all. Nasty bad head cold. Messed with the eyes and the whole 9 yards.

Slept for almost 12 hours. I am not a fan of waking at noon. Even more so on a day off. Can't waste a day off.

Right now sleep and copious amounts of liquids.

Last night two Amber Bachs that tasted really good. Took a couple of Claritin D's that did OK.

Looking at cars. Getting rid the Chevrolet pickup... About time. That and no need for 3 pickups. Anyway I narrowed down the search to a 2003 Ford Taurus and a 2000 Crown Vic. Love the crown vic except for one big thing... It looks like a cop car. A white cop car sans spotlight. Grrrrrr.

Howdy all, hope the weekend is treating everyone well.

Hey Ryan, I love those Crown Vics, lots of room to spread out. I almost bought a Grand Marquee but ended up getting a little better deal on the Ford 500 last year. I may be picking up an 82 Crown Vic from my uncle's estate, it's only got 30K miles on it and still looks like new.

That whole platform is great. Spend many mile driving and riding in my folk's towncars. I think they are driving their 5th They have had an 88, 92, 00, 02, and 07. All are great cars.

Well see what the stearlership can do tomorrow.

Get you a CV P7 Police car and drop a supercharged 5.4 in it.

A 5.4 with at Kenne Belle Supercharger would be great... I deal enough with law enforcement that the last think I really want to do is be seen driving a white crown vic... But its a good looking good running car.

You don't have to keep it white paint it any color you want and redo the interior to suit you. It would be a real good sleeper

I have been getting some ideas.

I like the idea of a sleeper though.

Or come up hard and fast on a motorist to see them slam on their brakes and slow way down.

Good Morning South Dakota......

Ryan, I think that Cliff has given you some really good ideas. Back in the late 80's right after I got out of high school, I was driving a "86 Olds Cutlass that was white and looked liked Grandma's car right down to the wire hub caps. I almost dropped a LT1 motor out of a vette or Formula Firebird into it..... now that would have been a sleeper.

He sure has.

I like the 4.6 engine at any rate. Hopefully I will have some sort of news by the end of the day.
