So my Mazda pickup I bought a year ago is toast, I'm entertaining an estimate for a mechanic but I doubt it will be less then what I'm willing to spend.
So I'm looking at other vehicles, now my father owns a Mercury Grand Marquis as his daily driver, big comfy sedan like the Crown Victoria.
And I do alot of long distance driving and these cars are really comfy for long trips, the only thing wrong is, since this is considered an "old man's car" would I be subject to scorn, ridicule and ostracization over this vehicle choice?

Well it's not a police interceptor, it would have civilian styling, that's why you go with the mercury, so it doesn't have ford or police interceptor decals

Cars do not "make the person".
If I were worried about my image, the last thing I would do is worry about what car I drive.
While that is true you also have to remember that the person decides what car they drive just like they decide what clothes they put on so it does say something about them when you look at the vehicle they choose
No disrespect intended, but I would laugh you outta my garage.
Most people need what is practical and affordable, but their eyes and ego override common sense.
Hey.... If you have the wiggle room with funds, then by all means....... go buy that badazz Audi.
hell of an upgrade
i will ridicule you if you don't drive it
hope that makes your choice easier
you're welcome
Be yourself. If you can't find the car or truck you like make your own. Here's one that's popular in South Carolina. I wouldn't be surprised that the owner of this fine vehicle could make one slow run through downtown McBee, S.C. and have all the wimmens in town begging to have his baby.

Not sure what the laws are about building your own car like that, hopefully the chassis is well constructed and it's not held together with nothing more than what i can only assume are generous applications of Bondo

I'm also wondering about the driveshaft. It has to be special made on account of the longer wheelbase. Maybe he made the driveshaft from a section of a highway light pole or a well turned piece of pine heartwood. :lol:
