@saforwardlook Steve: Can you post pics of your two cars, please?
Stan, those two cars belong to a friend of mine who is keeping them at my place for awhile and who also knows Carsten, so I will check with him to see if it is OK to post a couple photos. But I have had many rides in them and have driven them as well, and they perform very well in my opinion. They have clearly well engineered powertrains that are strong and refined at the same time. My friend actually has 4 of these Roadmasters I believe and they are his daily drivers. There is nothing else currently available that he likes better for his travels, and he does a lot of that. The only other cars he seems to like are older Mercedes Benzes, but they are too unreliable for him. So he sticks with the Buicks.
My paint/body guy has a 2006 Ford P71 Crown Victoria (police unit) with some 200K miles on it. And it still runs really seamlessly and is perhaps the most reliable car that I have ever witnessed over time. Really an incredible car too.
Law enforcement gets the good stuff!
