I love FL. On the road, anything goes. I'm pretty sure you can plate a skateboard if you can provide a title. :lol:
I've plated a couple of questionable vehicles there.
Here in MA, brand new cars fail inspection regularly. Inspectors gotta eat (filet and lobster). ;-)

TOTALLY AGREE with you bro... and you know what the WORST part of this whole thing is? If all of us Venezuelans for example, lived in better nicer homes, drove nice cars, had nicer roads, had no violence, no inflation, no corruption, than say 14 years ago (when this crazy f*ckin' baboon wasnt' president) then we'd say: "cool, higher gas prices everywhere, but we're cool here..." NOPE!!! NADA!!! Everything is way worse than 14 years ago. The ONLY good thing here is the gas price!!! Of course there are beautiful women, beautiful beaches, weather is great all year round, mountains, Angel Falls, etc. BUT in what way does that help me get a great job to buy a home? Get a really nice car? Get a grail? (hehe)... In no way whatsoever.
There will be presidential elections this coming october 7th... if this wacko m*ther f*cka wins again ('cause he's running for president btw), I'm taking my sh!t with me somewhere else... simply can't live like this anymore.


The thread was meant for FUN, hehe, LOL! Sorry 'bout that rant... but had to say it! GO Chris!!! :chris920:

There's only one that can stop this global madness.

Our creator!

Man will never learn to appreciate what our creator has given to him.

Vanity, Power , & Greed is whats going to destroy man eventually.

I drove it for about 6 years and put 105,000 miles on it, the only problem was the A/C idler went out twice but it's a simple and cheap fix.

I feel sad to see Ford not manufacturing Crown Victoria anymore.

These vehicles I consider a Honda on 8 cylinders, built tough and built to last. Why do you think law enforcement and taxi businesses uses them.

Law enforcement are now using Dodge Chargers nice but in a accident look out!

Considering Venezuala's current wacko government, I'm not surprised at the strange prices.

Nice Caprice, but if I was going to get an 80's 2-door, it'd be a G-body like the Cutlass or Regal. Some of the most iconic GM's ever built.

The 80's Cutlass, Regal, Monte Carlo and GP at least had V6 motors. For a large vehicle I love late 70's of those models with small V8's. Had 2 1977 GP's and loved them. Almost bought a 77 Cutlass once and a 77 Monte Carlo. Those were the days!!!
You could get a V8 in the mid-80's Cutlass 442 and Monte Carlo SS

I know I also owned a 1983 Hurst Olds 15th anniversary edition with V8 and lightning rod shifters...I also had a 1983 Cutlass Supreme with V6 3.8L junk motor... I just said most were V6 boat anchor 3.8L good on gas. The Hurst Olds was a favorite of mine :-) mind you these are old crappy pics :-(
