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.

Got Snow? You Need One of These!!


Folks, so far this year we have had 1-2 snow storms each week.  In fact, I just came in from trying to clean up a mess of snow and water.  While I am warming up, I'd like to suggest a product.  Yes, I am plugging something.  The Sno Brum.  Why?  Oh a few reasons...

One is that it works.  And I like things that work.  A Crown Vic is a large car, and you need something that can reach when you try and clear snow off of one.  No more trying to use a small snow brush or broom.  As long as you don't put the thing down on dirt or sand, and use a little care, you won't get any major scratches on your paint.

I first used these when I was a working stiff at car dealerships.  Half of the brooms bought each year got stolen by employees.  Yes, they work THAT well!  I have cleared snow off brand new Porsches with these.  Granted, not all people care about dents and scratches...

My Sno Brum has a metal handle.  My father and mother's have wood handles.  They also come with a telescoping handle.

Another reason I am suggesting this item is because I am really sick and tired of people who don't clean snow off their cars.  You know those people... the ones driving down the highway with only their windshield cleared.  The trucks with sheets of ice blowing off onto people's cars... those beings.  To them, this is a not-so-subtle hint...
