Hi everyone. I'm Bill. I've been driving an 02 CVPI since 2008 and just bought a Black 2003 last week in Maryland on my way home from vacation in Florida. It was an ebay find. It currently has 109k miles, which is a little higher than what I was hoping for but the price was definitely right for me at $6k. I'm going to pick up the car next week. For now, I only have one picture of it. The pin stripe is being removed as soon as I get the car home and a full detail will be done, including polishing the headlights.

Good luck, and welcome to the madness. 03 with a roof, that's cool.

i didn't even notice the pin stripe at first, almost looked like sunlight glinting. Looks like those are DC plates. But you got it in MD?

Still a sharp looking car! Very nice! are there any other modifications?

Welcome & congrats on your MM!

I used to work on the Sub Base. An hour and 15 minutes one way. Glad that's over with :)

The car is registered in DC, the previous owner is a DC LEO but lives just outside in Maryland. The pin stripe doesn't look that bad. It may grow on me. Time shall tell.

The car is stock, and I plan to keep it that way at least until the loan is payed off, with the exception of adding the spoiler and rear emblem

The Sub base is less than 5 minutes from my house, I can see the fireworks during the summer without leaving my driveway

I've been hunting for one of these cars ever since I ran into a member with one on Route 12 near my house in CT on the way to Mohegan Sun casino in the summer of 2010. Awesome dude, whose name I can't remember but I was practically drooling. I nervously asked if I could sit in it and he said "Go take it for a spin, the keys are in the ignition." I think he said he's from Rhode Island. There was a child seat in back. I had quite the grin on my face afterwards.

There is something not quite right with that statement :p

Yea I suppose I could have phrased that differently.The child seat in the back was empty before he said go take it for a spin. The resulting grin on my face was from stepping out of my semi asthmatic Crown Vic and driving a well maintained Marauder. What a world of difference.
