My Caribbean Green Queen
Wow, the title was a bit silly, but I had to try and make it catchy. Some of you might remember me from crownvic.net, but oh well. I'll try to keep this short and sweet.
My ride is a 1993 Crown Victoria LX. I purchased it in June of '05 with 59,950 miles on the odometer. Right now it has 66,130.
I haven't bothered to modify it as much as other people have done theirs. The first thing I did was replace the fairly-worn headlight casings. After that, some bright headlights were installed and I was set.
For Christmas of '05, my parents bought me a JVC CD player. That small gesture of kindness has cost me a lot of money so far. :-D More on that later.
The next thing I bought for the car were tires. I had two snow tires on the rear for my first winter, and I hated them. Come spring, the front Michelins and the rear generic snow tires went bye-byes along with my slight desire for whitewalls. As a sidebar, however, the Michelins that were on the rear did not make it to that winter. They were pretty worn, so I helped them along. The tires I chose were Goodyear Assurance Comfortreds. They're nice looking, they're quiet, and offer more grip than I tend to use.
Next up? Dual exhaust. I wanted something to get my car noticed, so I sent the car to a muffler/exhaust place and told them to have fun. I ended up with half the cats, aluminized 2.25 inch piping from the cats back, and Super 40 Flowmaster mufflers. Yep, I definitely get noticed now.
The part of the car I've concentrated most on was the stereo. Shortly after the CD player was installed, I purchased some Infinity Reference 5x7s for the front doors. I was happy with that until a few months ago when the stereo bug bit me. Next up were Infinity Kappa 6x9 3-ways, and then a Blaupunkt amplifier. Monday will be a new headunit with three pre-outs so I can run my amp better, as well as the Infinity Basslink sub in the near future. Also the References will be replaced with Kappas shortly. All told, I should be putting out appoximately 540 watts when I'm finished. Nothing huge, but not dinky, either.
And for closing, a few recent pictures:
