• #Cars from the #USA are so horribly #phat, #unsafe and #inefficjent that noone wants to buy them!

(The only exceptions are nieche cases and statistically nonexistent!)

• #EU #FoodSafety standards ban so many #addivites and #treatments becaise they make food evidently unhealthy and worse (i.e. washing eggs, artificial food colouring and aroma)...

Given #Protectionism like the #ChickenTax #Tarriffs on actually reasonably sized #MiniTrucks the #US has no right to complain.

• If they actually made good cars, people would actually want to buy them.

Sadly, the last good car from the USA (that isn't a road-legal Dragstrip Suicide Machine or 4x4 Solid Axle Outdoor Toy) was the #Ford #CVPI / #P71 & #P72a models that got axed in 2012.

Woot! Woot! I got a new Crown Vic #CVPI ........

Ok, ok, it's a #diecast (probably) 1:50 scale made by #Kinsmart

It's marking just say "Police Department Founded 1781" Yeah, 1781 but the font is so small no one is going to know unless they use a magnify glass.

Not sure of what year this is suppose to be, I'd say probably/maybe 2006, but I have nothing to base that on.

Old number 152 over heated yesterday, she is currently sitting at the garage and I'm waiting to hear the bad news.

It only has 105000ish miles on it, so hopefully it isn't going to be too bad to fix, but I have a feeling it's going to be $1200 to $2000 - this car and me I love it, but ever time I seem to get ahead a little the car goes nope, time to take me to the shop.

Nice looking car, weird idea with the Garbage Pail Kids, but hey I am still a sucker when they make a Crown Vic Police Interceptor (CVPI) Diecast.

That's a good looking car.....

Short video taken from the middle kids dash cam of my 2008 Crown Vic CVPI take on 3/16/2024

The Panasonic FZ-G1 tablet looks pretty good there in my Crown Vic. Too bad I don't have any way to really mount it. and it covers the #Anytone microphone up just a little too much.

Slowly I am finding the 2023 #HotWheels I'm missing, and I'm also finding cars that I already had. I also found another #Greenlight Crown Vic #CVPI

I almost got in the wrong #CrownVic #CVPI today....
I'm not sure if it would have been an upgrade or not.... it for sure is a lot cleaner then mine :-)

Park one spot over from mine, I couldn't see mine until I got closer....and so I almost went to the wrong car. LOL

This massive fleet of California Highway Patrol cars illustrates the dominance the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor had over the emergency vehicle market during the #2000s. #CHP #Police #CVPI

1985 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor is one of my favorite versions of that car. I owned one once a long time ago, and drove one for a Taxi company (I was the only person that wanted to drive it if I remember right).

So when I see (even if it is a 1983) a Die Cast of that car I just have to buy it. I think the 83 model is as close as I'm going to find. This one is from Ace Ventura made by Greenlight

Found this 1998 Crown Vic #CrownVic #CVPI #Ohio #StateHwyPatrol car made by #RoadChamps at a local 7 day a week flea market - It's a 1/43 scale car, pretty detailed. I wasn't expecting to find one, I've been looking for one for a while - and to find it in the package (thou not perfect) for $7 bucks seemed like a good deal to me. Still not the right year for me - My Crown Vic is a 2008 - But close enough LOL
