Good cars & trucks become family, too. I got rid of my old '95 Grand Marquis to get my Commander. It looked like every OTHER white Grand Marquis, although it was low miles and exceptionally clean. Three of my four children came home from the Hospital for the first time in that car. It took me to Detroit, Buffalo, & Lancaster, PA - from Pittsburgh - many times. My only trip back to KY was in it, and it went to Houston and back in the heat of late July in 2010 with nary a hiccup.

It was developing a/c and heater core issues - the frame was finally starting to get the Pittsburgh rot; it was time to part ways. But a white Grand Marquis will always turn my head.
