Welcome to the Crown Vics ETC blog!

On April 6, 2000, I purchased a 1998 Ford Crown Victoria LX HPP with 23,490 miles. I decided to start a little website for it featuring a running log of my experiences with the car. Vic 1.0 was retired in 2015 due to rust and electrical issues. Vic 2.0 was a 2006 P71 in Blue Pearl that belonged to my boyfriend. It was a Ford demo and never saw actual police use. It was damaged in September of 2018 with well over 186,000 miles. It was replaced by Vic 3.0 in October 2018, a 2008 P71 in Silver Birch with 120,971 miles.

MILESTONE: 200,000 MILES!!!

FINALLY!

I have gotten a car to hit 200,000 miles!  

Vic 3.0 hit 200,000 miles on 1/19/2026

Vic 3.0 wasn't expected to still be on the road today!  I assumed it was going to be way too rotted at this point.  But it just keeps running and driving GREAT!

Cars that ALMOST made it:
1986 Pontiac Parisienne - Mechanical problems
1987 Mercury Grand Marquis - Transmission problems
1998 Ford Crown Victoria LX - Rust/Wear
2006 Ford Crown Victoria P71 - Accident
