    Got a car

    I recently inheireted a 1996 mercury grand marquis GS,when my brother went to colledge, Im pretty surte it has a small block V8 and is FR. I quite like it.
    Its very large and sluggish and not fun to drive but it has plenty of room for junk. Its my first car so wish me luck


    I dont have a digi camera and if any one really cares i could take regualar pics and scan, but it looks just like this but with a small (not racey) silver spoiler on the back.

    I dig Grand Marquis's they are my favorite old persons car. They are ridiculously big but you can have some fun when its wet and/or if you drive a little crazy and have lots of people in the backseat.

    Not that I condone those activities...

    well good luck with the gas..insurance shouldn't be bad though..and that's good cause it's a V8 so there is some power. Have fun with it and try not to smash it up, although i hear those cars can take a decent beating and still run.

    At least you have a lot of room in the back seat.

    Nice ride man. Insurance and gas shouldn't be too much of a problem, since you didn't even have to pay for the car in the first place. Have fun.
