Looks good to me. The dash isn't peeled up like most of the gen 3s here. How many miles on it?

 

[Art5]

something about that front bumper...Why symbols are red on your plates?

 

[calvin0325]

its at a 120k and fixed the dash....lol.....next comes the tune up....still trying to find a set of cobra wheels for it .....and the red numbers are because it is a temp plate.

 

[Art5]

back when I used to buy cars in Germany temps had yellow callendar on the side and only one sticker in the middle. Is it easy to get square plates now? Back in the day it was a special request, that took time to process.

 

[calvin0325]

yeah it is no problem getting the square plates now as they have both styles at the registration office when you go register your vehile.

Nice SHO. Is that your Crown Vic in the background too? There's probably not many of those in Germany, I would guess.

 

[calvin0325]

No,the crown vic is not mine, have my Mercury Mountaineer over here with me also.

 

[Art5]

It is crazy to have those(crown vic, mountainer) cars in Europe. Probably good if you're pulling a trailer and have a lot of people in the car. but also, gas-gaglers like these, show that you have money....

 

[calvin0325]

LOL...paying the same for gas here as in the states....so not bad....but the mountaineer is not as much fun on the autobahn as the SHO is....now I just need that Blower and the 5 speed....LOL

Paying the same??? Are you sure? My mother told me that the last time she paid something close to 1.5 euro per litre in Italy and few cents less in CZ.

 

[calvin0325]

I just filled up last night .....and yes on the economy it is horrible........but on base it is just over $4 a gallon..... where with the current crapy exchange rate .67 to the dollar that 1.50 euro per liter is way too high....

 

[fitefanSHO]

thats pretty brave owning a V8 SHO in Germany, but at least u get to rev around the autoban :woo-hoo:

 

[calvin0325]

It is actually a blast on the autobahn with a sho....Brave yes, as importing parts all the time gets expensive....
