Most drivers of the Crown Victoria have good, overbuilt transmissions
rather than fuel-saving smooth types, because they're cops.

Well, that "usta" be true but ever since the problem with the gas tanks
exploding in a collision way back when, the Crown Vic's were dropped
immediately in the SE Texas area.

Maybe, but that certainly wasn't general.


Huh? This was pretty well know via most all national TV networks. It was
reported that "many" law enforcement agencies were getting rid of them.
