    Default My vehicle, the daily and my grocery getter.

    Thought I would put up some photos of the vehicles currently residing at the hacienda.
    Anyone that knows me on the forum knows I keep some weird cool shit around to drive.


    First. The Daily. 2004 Intrepid Police Package.
    Let me preface this by saying, if you have any sort of a commute....buy a damm ex Cop Car. My commute was 70 miles one way 5 days a week and I went from my supercharged GTP to this and have never been happier. Most people scramble to get out of your way, they rarely tailgate you, cut you off or do anything that is anything out of the ordinary. Plus the little perks you figure out with it are so worth the $3,600.00 I spent on it I can't even begin to tell you. Mine came fully functional, strobes, everything. Ex DEA car. Add in my Desert Storm Veteran license plate and you get the picture. Works well also as a ready to shoot cop car for film so helps me get stunt work that way as well.








    Then the gorcery getter. 1985 Volvo 740 Turbo Diesel converted to a FI 5.0.
    I got this from an older hippie guy. He used it to work out of. It's running a fuel injected 5.0 Mustang setup, AOD trans (Converting to a T5), all with Converse Engineering mounts and wiring harness setup. AC Compressor locked up so as soon as that gets replaced i'll be driving it some daily as well. Get's around 21 miles per gallon city and will roast the tires if you nail it. Feather it right and you will eat M5's and M3's with no trouble. The looks on their faces is pricesless when they see the Turbo Diesel emblem and then see the tail lights.







    Enjoy.

    It's something else Scotsman. It runs good, drives well and is fun as hell when you embarrass someone.

    Hey thanks for checking up on the wheels. Not sure where im going with em.
    Nah 2Turbo4u, there was a different one for sale on here, I think it was supercharged.
    The camera is still wired up and the recorder is under the seat, I pulled the fuses though because the damm thing was staying on and draining my battery. Was a huge pita.

    Ran up on QD today on 20 in his Honda. Rolled on him 5.0 style.

    Funny shit.

    And what's even funnier?

    I don't know if you remember "KevyKev" on here, but he called me about 30 minutes after we saw each other and asked me if"that cop" pulled me over. Lolol. He happened to be in that spot as well. Lolol. Later, QD.
