98 Mercury Grand Marquis

[Arklatex]

So I got a 98 Mercury Grand Marquis from my uncle. He just got a new vehicle and offered me the ole beast so I took it! It's got 129k miles and is in ok condition. Runs great but it's a little beat up cosmetically. Damn thing is a beast of a car, it's gonna become a project vehicle. Lots of performance parts for these things. I drove it home today from Okmulgee, Oklahoma. It got a hell of a workout as I drove through a monsoon the entire way! Tornados and all, I was even amongst the last few vehicles to be allowed to ford the freaking river after the road from Paris, Texas washed out. D.O.T. was putting up the barriers rigjt behind us... And the car forded it just fine! What a great mad max road warrior type vehicle! Originally I thought about putting a police grill guard on it but I've changed my mind. Don't want the attention. I'll put up pics after the dang rain is over. Maybe tomorrow.

My thoughts for initial upgrades after giving the car a thorough going over are a police style gun locker for the trunk. A cb radio, upgraded lights (possibly some offroad leds hidden behind the grill) and a cd player.

Updates to come.

Sounds like an awsome prepper car. Very "Mad Max", but you already said that. Lol.

I had a 75 Grand Marquis when I was 17. It had a 460 in it and would pass anything but a gas station. I beat that car so bad that my weekly ritual was to stop on payday and put 4qts of oil in it. Rear seal was completely shot but it kept on running.

That's weird, my tapatalk shows who else uses tapatalk and you're one of them.

I loaded tapatalk on my tablet and cannot figure the damn thing out. The only place I am able to go is some Nikon forum? I don't even take pictures!

I've used it for awhile now. I got rid of my satellite Internet since it was such a ripoff. Now we use our phones for the internet. Trying to see the forum on the screen is pretty tough unless you use something like tapatalk.

That's weird, my tapatalk shows who else uses tapatalk and you're one of them.I have it but I don't care for it and don't use it much I prefer the real board even on my phone. All tap talk does for me is let me know when someone posts by sending me a notification on my phone other wise I hate it. The Rubberduck likes it though and I belive uses it exclusively.

I have the Samsung S4 its view-able and I have shit for eyes...

My problem is that the board shows up real small on the phone. I'll try the photo buckets later and see if I can figure it out.

I think part of the problem is I'm not vip. I'll need to remedy that soon.

I'm using the same phone. Maybe I'll try it your way as well.

Photobucket app from play store. Sign up then upload your phone pics or a www. pic to your bucket. Then copy the image link and paste it in the forum post window without using the forums image tags. So basically copy and paste.

Edit for a pic off the www. Save the pic to your phone then upload to photobucket.
