George's Garage

[KillerB]

Oh yes. I would like to own an LS400 at some point, though getting a more modern stereo is going to be a challenge. Maybe you can hijack the old CD changer interface to patch in an AUX input or something?

[neanderthal]

I think I might be looking at that for my next car instead of a W124 wagon. i love my W124s, don't get me wrong, but it's been 13 years driving the same car. Time for a change.


I only wish the quality of their leather/ stitching/ whatever, was as good as Mercedes. They get torn up real quick.

Aftermarket is your friend.

I had a '94 LS400 in 1994 for about three months. I never felt like it was anything more than a fancy Camry. Can't rightly say I'd ever want to actually own one.

I parked my car in the garage at work this morning and this caught my eye. Dang, the dash doesn't look this dirty with the naked eye. I did do a nice clean-up on it last weekend, but it's not detailed "to sell" just yet.

Such a wee baby!

The Suburban just cracked 330k, the XR cracked 280k, and the Saab 250k. 216k is *so* 2002.

[George]

Yeah, but you're MacGyver. I just pump gas.

Dig this beaut for under two grand!

Hey, I'm a young executive with a family! Uh, except for the part about being young and an executive...

But wait, did he say FWD?!





Needs more tiny buttons to press!

[thesameguy]

Yep, the Continental went FWD in '88, when it switched to the Taurus platform. A friend's dad in high school had a '90 or so one in red. It wasn't all that exciting, but it was pretty comfy and would cruise along at 80 or 90 without complaint.

[George]

Really?

REALLY?

Wow. I had no idea. I would have sworn that was a RWD Crown Vic underneath the Lincoln styling, just like a Town Car. I tried to go back to the ad just now for engine pics or whatever but the ad is gone, which isn't surprising at that price if the car is as claimed.

Well, that just makes it better in the snow!

/learned something today

[thesameguy]

I think all the Continentals had the pushrod 3.8l, the biggest motor that was available in the Taurus body. It's really not a bad combo, and the later ones should not have the transmission problems the early cars had.
