    My Grand Marquis'

    Hi my name's Alex. I've owned 2 Grand Marquis'. My first one was the blue 1992 LS. Second one and current driver is the 1996 GS. I owned the 92 for 2 years. I upgraded to the 96 when my grandfather passed away and I bought it from power of attorney. Before my grandfather owned it my other grandfather owned it. The 96 has a lot of sentimental value to me. I actually bought my 92 because I loved riding in my grandpa's 96 when I was a kid and wanted one just like it. Both Grand Marquis' are mostly completely stock. I thought the "Limited Edition" badges I picked up at Auto Zone were nice touches however I get a lot of shit for that. I also put the fake fender vents on, also a cheap addition from Auto Zone, and again much shit for that. But it's become a signature look for my GMs. I upgraded the audio in each as well. Both received $1,000 complete Alpine systems. Subs, speakers, amps, deck. My 96 currently has 107,000 miles on it with lots of life left. Even though the car is large and under powered I still put the pedal to the floor at least once every time I drive it. I drive it like hell and it takes it with ease. I'd love to dump about $8k in performance and aesthetic upgrades in the next few years. Because of the sentimental value of the 96 I will never sell it. Just gonna ride it til it dies. I'd love to upgrade to the sportier 03/04 Marauder some day but I don't exactly have $12k sitting around.
