forum_emoticons.html	[quote=taxiguy,25759]I want a car with an automatic transmission, that's the main reason. Sure I like the Accord, but there's other cars I would like too. I would preferably want to get something bigger, like a Crown Victoria or even something Taurus-sized maybe. I found a beautiful black 1987 LTD Crown Vic (just like the one in [i]Men in Black[/i]) in wonderful condition and for a good price, but when I called the seller he told me it had already been sold. I was so disappointed! :cry: But there is always something else, among few of the ones I've been looking at: The '87 LTD http://lansing.craigslist.org/cto/841706574.html '74 Cadillac http://lansing.craigslist.org/cto/870036716.html '85 Buick Lesabre http://lansing.craigslist.org/cto/857682542.html '91 Grand Marquis http://grandrapids.craigslist.org/ctd/872878604.html '78 New Yorker http://lansing.craigslist.org/cto/869670781.html '94 Taurus http://detroit.craigslist.org/cto/872561193.html '73 Chrysler http://detroit.craigslist.org/cto/874454842.html[/quote]

Beautiful car! I've always like the way the '88-'91 Grand Monkey looks.

Well it's not so much because of age, as it is simply becuase it has a very large V8 engine :grin:

17 MPG isn't even bad for this car, as I thought in the beginning. It gets a solid 13 in pure city driving, though it's been up to 23 on pure-highway miles.

But I just say oh well. I didn't buy Grand Marquis to be a gas saver, and since gas is cheap these days, who cares? :grin:

Nice car taxiguy! Alas, older cars are much more aesthetically pleasing at the cost of poor gas mileage.

O.K., it's not a car, but perhaps anyone is interested:

I took some better pictures of my car:

spotted this nice rainbow while driving

Some bad news about this car: I went to fill up yesterday and I calculated the gas mileage... 17 MPG! :cry:

taxiguy, do you like this old square 'Grand Marquis' more than the current one ? I thought you liked the 1992+ Crown Vic's/Marquis ?? Just curious. Nice car btw.

I like them both equally, I couldn't chose which one I like better. Both styles are nice in their own way.
And thanks for the compliment! :wink:

Ahm, thanks :smile:

Yes, indeed, I see now in the next to last photo. The car has "Shift mode" O/D Lock-Out. The plain letter "D" indicates the Overdrive gear is disabled (denying the transmission access to the final gear) So the AOD Automatic transmission will shift from 1-2-3 only. When the letter "D" (placed within a circle or solid color circle) is selected, Overdrive is enabled. So the AOD Automatic transmission will shift from 1-2-3-4.

By what i could see in the pictures it seems to have a "normal" "D" and a "D" inside of a circle that may indicate the "overdrive" no?
