Hello, I'm new to the forum.
A little about my cars, my first 2 my parents referred to as mine but really they owned them when I was in high school.
A 1987 Ford Crown Victoria and the second one was a 1988 Ford Crown Victoria station Wagon. My dad drove both after I was done with them, until they he got rid of them.
The third car was actually the first one that I owned, a 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis GS. Dad bought it for $200, drove it home from the East coast to Michigan and drove it for a few months before rebuilding the engine and then giving it to me as a high school graduation gift. I've already put about 110,000 miles on it since then.
I just picked up another Grand Marquis, a 1991 GS, for $500 in October 2012. The body was in much better shape than the '89, it just needed a new trans. Well the '89 had a trans with around 50,000 on it so I swapped them. The '91 had been sitting in some guys barn for the past 6 years so there were other issues that came up after I got the trans swapped, but I will consider creating a separate thread for the car itself (like others have done) at some point.
Anyway, it's been pretty cool and inspiring looking at the work that some of these guys have put into their cars. Once I get student loans paid off or move up at work I would like to put some work into mine. Hopefully in the next year or two.
And the only pics I have of my cars, they are VERY dirty, I'll get some clean ones sometime.
