I wonder if the Kangaroo had collision insurance.

That's a limousine???

Lol. Everything to you is "irrelevant." Why did you even bother replying?
BTW, I was referring to aftermarket window tinting which can be applied to the car (my limo and Town Car both have it). ...

Hey, there are risks everytime you step into a car!
So tell me... (in the Matra world), what is safer: 1. Lap belts and shoulder belts or 2. Lap belts only.




Kind of accurate that I am a...

Right. Which is probably why they are used (out here) in police cars and taxi cabs.



5.4L... would that be the 351?
I agree; although the current 4.6's are well-built and reliable, they don't...

Some time back, I posted accident photos. A description of the accident and the injuries to the driver and/or passengers. It is pretty clear that shoulder belts prevented the minor to moderate...

Lol. Yeah, if I drove it everyday, I would be broke by now! (It's driven once every 7-10 days.)



Right, if you drive it hard, you get about 16 or 17 mpg. Maybe as low as 15. In all city...

Sounds about right. I've been averaging 20.5 mpg in my Town Car with about 75% surface street driving. I'm still amazed that a big luxury car with a V-8 can get the good mileage it does.

Fleet...

Yeah, I would avoid the Cads of the '80s. They either tried using different engines like the above or putting in underpowered V-8s, like the 249-cu-in engine. What were they thinking? A 249 engine in...

How often does that happen, though? A shoulder belt locks in place instantly, meaning the occupant is still against the seatback and there isn't much room to twist out of the belt (especially when...

I did post some mpg figures on the "Ford Crown Vic" thread. It's around 17-25 mpg in the 4,000-lb Town Cars; maybe 1 mpg more on the Ford Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis. In any case, very good...

I agree. The Lincoln Town Car is just about the only luxury car which is a throwback to the '70s... full-frame, rear wheel drive, V-8. Possibly the Mercury Grand Marquis and Ford Crown Victoria, too....

Shoulder belts (which all of my cars have) prevent being hurled against a steel dash.



You may be a fan of plastic; I'm not. Let's face it, plastic is used because it's cheaper than metal and...

The 4.6L (281-cubic-inch) Ford V-8, used in Fords, Mercurys and Lincolns is all of the above.

I already said that one reason I like '50s and '60s American cars is because plastic was at a minimum back then.

Aluminum, chrome and metal, like they were in the '50s and '60s.

The U.S. did not fund terrorism.

Then if you don't like that link, read the second one. ;)

Not going by your other post.

Unfortunately, yes. Which is one of several reasons why I like '50s and '60s cars.

Sure...

C'mon... everything inside a Japanese car is plastic... the dash, the door panels, the console, etc.

No, much more than "one guy."

The cars from Japan use just as much, if not more.

That's because Clinton was president before 9/11. A president who was more concerned about his poll ratings than the safety of his country.



I have posted info before about Iraq's ties to...
