    2006 Grand Marquis LS - daily driver

    It's been a while... I've been very delinquent on my Tudor project and the Sand Box for a long time, shame on me! I did drive my '85 TC more often last summer, it hasn't needed any work. Spent a year getting a barn-find '60 Falcon sedan on the road for a friend, and parted out a couple cars. The good news is that as of last Saturday, I have a Panther as a daily driver for the first time in almost 9 years. She's a 2006 MGM LS with 91k (146,000km for us Canucks). Not perfect, but a good runner and was rust-proofed in the past. Perfect for a DD. She began life as a rental at Chicago O'Hare, then lived in Rhode Island for a while before crossing the border in 2013.

    Don't worry, the first thing I did when I got home was peel off that garish Chevy dealer badge! She will get factory-style duals and Magnaflows before long. Probably in the summer. I finally have a home for the 21mm rear sway bar and poly bushing kit that has been collecting dust in the basement for 10 years.
