For what you'd pay for a tank-safe '92 Grand Marquis, what Honda would be as reliable, SAFE, or as cheap to fix? Parts for those cars are dirt cheap. Parts for Hondas are, well, not.

What are you doing on a sports car forum when you could be on a "Crown Vic" forum talking he man muscle cars with those guys?
