yea i've done a ton of those conversions. mostly on lincolns though. it's ashame really. when it's working properly, it's a fantastic system.

technically speaking, every state in the union is bankrupt. hell...technically speaking, the union is bankrupt.

if you're looking at civi models, stay away from ANYthing ford makes with air suspension. i think that was an option in the civi vics.......

was watching last night. they got hammered. pummeled. like....holy poop who on that island pissed off the big guy up stairs? 'cause he smited them. they're guestimating about 6 months without electricity.

of course the advantage is that it is rear wheel drive. he'll learn how to actually drive, unlike 90% of those that start off on front or all wheel drive vehicles.

chargers have constant front end problems. tahoes....the dept i do work for, their older one is pretty good/reliable. the inner door pull handle's effed up though. i believe that's common on them. this dept has a brand new tahoe. it didn't go15k miles on its original tires or brakes. i haven't got any experience with impala police cars. it's ashame ford killed off the crown vic. probably one of the best cars they've had recently.....

these good to go for slugs? says 1oz rifled, but doesn't say what they're made of. just asking, 'cause i don't wanna be "that guy" that effs up a target, lolol https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/federal-truball-shotgun-ammo--5-slugs-15fedutrbll12g234amo-15fedutrbll12g234amo/15fedutrbll12g234amo

an hour of idling equals 4 hours of driving according to some of the dealers

THIS is why i suggested state highway patrol, detective, or cheif's car. those don't get much idle time. now that you mention it though, i gotta do some research. wonder if ford's got a hobbs built into the computer software. the chargers and tahoes i work on for a local pd both have that ability. dodge tried to screw them outta warranty work over oil changes. they do them every 3k or 3 months. service writer tried the "oil change schedule wasn't followed due to idle hours" crap. it didn't fly. and they did the warranty work. now when i write their invoices, i include miles and idle hours.....

actually, the crown vics seem ultra-reliable. have they been beat? sure they have. but unlike the chargers, they can take it. try to find one that you can confirm was a state highway patrol car. if it's from a local pd, try to confirm it was a detectives or the cheif's car. avg miles i see on them around here seems to be about 100k to 150k. try for later, like 04 or newer. less likely to burn oil. the earlier 4.6 liters tended to burn oil. once ford fixed that problem, those were some fantastic engines. there's also plenty of AWD police taurus's out there now, as well as explorers and expeditions. i don't know enough to be well informed on the explorers and taurus's though. i do know that ford's rating those taurus's at 300hp. expedition is one of the better suv's. rental cars make some of the best purchases nowadays. go try to rent one. they're anal. they go over it with a fine tooth come when you sign it out, and when you sign it back in. they flip them over more quickly now than they used to. if you bring it back to them, and there's any unusual wear/tear, they charge you to get it taken care of. and they do get it taken care of.

thanks man. i was gonna ask that about the 9mm, but forgot to type it in

god i hope not. we don't need another socialist shithole as another state. we got too many of those in the first place.

scratch part of what i typed above about shotgun ammo. i just found 2/3 of a case of estate game/target load? 1oz 7 1/2 shot. this is good to go?

thanks man! i do buy from amazon, but i don't see any way i'll get anything from them in time for this match. i've got my belt pretty decently set up i think. got 3 pistol mags and 3 rifle mags on it. i only had a triple rifle mag pouch, so i gotta go with that. for the shotgun, i've got an 870 pump that has a 6 shell caddy bolted on the side of it. i can't transfer that to my ati though. i think my mossie(that one's kept at the shop) has an elastic 5 or 6 shell caddy that goes on the buttstock. gonna check that tomorrow. i'd rather use the semi auto, but for my first time out, if i can carry them on the 870, then i'll use that. also, reading the rules again. shotgun ammo. on quinton's link in the OP, it says #6, 7.5, or 8, plus the slugs. in the rules, it says no bigger than #6 birdshot. i'm going to either dicks sporting goods or bobs little sport shop to grab the shotgun ammo i need, so i wanna be sure on which i can/should be getting. for pistol and rifle, i can safely presume plain old ball ammo? thanks for all the help guys

in that instance....they're either doing a TON of brake jobs on camaros, or they're begging for trouble and not replacing those bolts. that said i haven't worked on one of these yet. just looked up the procedure.....caliper bracker torque=30#ft +90 degrees.

best/first thing to do is to talk to company owner. be nice. it's shocking how far that gets ya.

DID YOU check mall chevy in cherry hill? harvey there is pretty dam good at finding things for people

glad it's home. in cases like these....what happens to the pawn shop that bought it? what happens to the customer that may have bought it from the pawn shop?

best thing is to get the company name off of the truck, and call them. often times in fleets, the company may be unaware of the condition as fleet drivers tend to not report problems.

weather channel upgraded maria to cat5 a little while ago. she's gonna hurt the islands bad. don't think she's gonna touch us. they said this is the first since 07 to have 2 cat5 hurricanes in one season.

this is what i'm mounting my stuff too right now..... http://www.unclemikes.com/products/bags-cases/belts/deluxe-duty-belt i was setting it all up on a utg, but that one won't adjust down to a small enough size to fit me. this one was given to me by a friend. sadly this puppy is 2" according to the site, but i measure 1 7/8 on a tape measure.

that is my only goal. same as when we first got the shop race car to the track. i literally was slower in a 2600# fiberglass wonder than i was in my 3800# mustang gt. then as i gained experience in that car, i got her into the 10's, but was still "the duck" that everyone tried to line up against. didn't matter to me whether or not i took the win light. i was getting off on the adrenaline rush of being shoved into the seat, and going 0-132mph in a tick over 10 seconds. of course, the day came at a daytime meet(we normally ran the tuesday night gamblers races) that i made it to the first loser position(runner up) i trailered 5 cars that i never EVER thought i'd do that too. 3 of them i tree'd. that just increased the fun. fun is my goal. it's training too. it's moving and shooting. i'll suck. and i'll have a blast at it as i suck, lolol

here we go with another stupid question. when i drill out of the holster at the range, i've normally got either the paddle tucekd into my waist, or i've got the belt adapter on the same belt that holds my pants up. i use a blackhawk serpa. for this i was gonna use a dedicated belt on top of my pants belt. been working on setting one up anyway. so far....... i've got plenty as far as spare mag carriers goes. i can carry 3 or 4(depending on which mag carriers i use) pistol mags. the three would be in a hsgi tripple taco. i can carry at least 2 spare rifle mags on the belt too. unless someone local(as in local to cherry hill area) has some sort of shotshell carrier, i'll only have the ability to carry those in my pocket. am i over-thinking?

i'm not gonna be competition to anyone, regardless of what class i land in. i'll bring the ar with the eotech, beretta and (don't laugh) my ati shotgun. whatever class those land me in, i'm gonna have fun so it will be......fun. heck......i ain't even planning on running(if there's place for that per that video)....just gonna walk n take my time. slow is smooth, and smooth is fast. or something like that, lolol

only thing i'm seeing so far on switching firearms is that it's gotta be essentially the same thing. and of course the rso must approve such. WTF???!!! i'm considered a senior if i'm over 55??? dammit. well.....i'm still only 55, so not yet, lololol
