Hello, and welcome to my Crown Vic website!  This car is the nicest car I have ever owned.    The 90 Buick Century I use to own comes close, but this CV has tons of goodies in addition to the very comfortable interior.  
Note: Almost every image is clickable for enlargement.

My 97 Crown Victoria LX purchased 4/14/08 at 59,600mi

Future improvements (In order of personal priority)

1. Troubleshoot transmission 2-4 cold shift anomaly.
   The first time it shifts from 2-4 (skipping 3) after sitting for at least 4 hours there is a 1 second "neutral" anomaly.  But if the car is first warmed up for a couple minutes, it shifts 2-3-4 normally.  It appears to be temperature related.  However, if I do not allow time for warm-up and I accelerate very slowly the anomaly is not present either.  Forum discussion here.
   

If you think my garage is a mess, you should have seen it before I bought the car.   

The CV is about 2 feet longer than the Olds Ciera Wagon.  So I had to make room in the garage.  Here's a picture of the garage as I was tearing part of it out to make room for the new addition Friday night after I bought it.  
There's your "garage cleaning motivation"!
