so, i ended up getting a '99 crown vic. very clean car, 110,000 miles, nice paint and only one ding in the trunk lid. smoke the windows out, get the headlight waggles and some halogen flashers in the turn signal housings and people will finally get out of the left lane in front of me...
got it for 2800, KBB lists it at $7k, plus $2k for the CNG hookup. oh yeah, i'll be burning clean, too.
i got done real early, and drove by the church - natch, no one was there yet. so i headed on home and got some other stuff done.
