Yeah, Manhattan Beach is near LA, or in the vicinity. I think. I only know it is not near here.

Exclamation

Forgot to mention. Political talk is okay. AS LONG AS IT STAYS FAIR AND BALANCED!
No attacking one side.All talks involving any politics must stay fair and balanced. Technically Political talk is not allowed in the Tech forums, but in the General Chat forums, but I believe that everyone here can be courteous and respectful.

That is all.

Exactly, there was a while where the cars were getting rearended and catching on fire because the gas tank got punctured. They came up with an idea to put in a bladder into the tanks. I hated sitting on the side of the road in one, kept one eye on the rear view.

I think the intakes were warping, I am not too sure. The Crown Vics still feel gutless compared to the Caprices.

a friend of mine has an 08 Roush 427R.
god I love that thing.

makes me want to get one.

if I could afford it.

And are you talking about the Carbon Motors E7?

from what I have read and seen, it is a beast. no way around it.
I believe that police officers SHOULD have a car that the general public can not get. It just makes more sense to me.
