    More on the Gas Tank issue

    Blue Oval News, or specifically "the detroit News" is looking for feedback

    Read here

    The Detroit News is looking for Crown Victoria, Town Car or Grand Marquis owners who have contacted their Ford dealer about having the fuel tank shield kit installed. Those who oppose fuel tank shields are also encouraged to respond. Please write to the news at crownvic@blueovalnews.com

    Police car stopped on the freeway(helpin' someone)+ice+speeding(not payin' attention)Explorer+bus in the next lane=high speed collision

    They show'd 'em gettin' the cop out of the car (I guess he was in it) and he looked hurt but no fire.............

    I captured this crash from TV news that morning, and hard copy is in transit to Logan and GJA, for import to us here, however that works out. My capture turned out to be 112MB, and not suitable for up or down load via this site, but hopefully, they can work some magic on that. Hold your thoughts, guys, until you watch this crash first hand, you'll be surprised at the outcome. Meanwhile, no serious injury, no fire.

    The Panther platform did it's job.

    There was quite a bit of activity on CVN about this issue. For the lousy $160 or so the kit costs, it seems like it would be a good thing...I don't know why anyone would be against it, it's got to be better than doing nothing...

    I still say it was a short period of mis-understanding of how to mount extra PI equipment in the rear by the departments themselves.

    But, the media is slanted. A CV making it out without a firie ending and an uninjured LEO just doesn't sell...

    I couldn't agree with you more, LML.

    Still more. they are moving the issue now from Police vehicles to civilian versions of the Panther line.
    I believe there is a definite anti Ford Bias agenda behind it all rather one of genuine concern for safety

Kind of scary, when thinking of the scale. Makes one think that maybe it'd be a good idea to do some introspection and think about what each of us needs to do to build a solid community, analyze what it is we're all honestly looking for by belonging to this community.

    Well I agree it's out of hand. "Civilians" are getting their info from obviously Biased sites such as that "Center for vehicle Safety". People are avoiding and ignoring the findings of the NHTSB

    It is in the Windows Media format and is of EXCELLENT quality.
    I have a large version @ 13 meg. If you want it PM me.
    I also have a small Real media version @ under 1 meg in the Gallery under Other Panther Platform cars.

    solution is quite simple, DON'T GET REARENDED BY SUV'S DOING 75+ MPH. With MM horsepower and speed this shouldn't be too tough. Depress right foot to floorboard and watch vehicle in mirror get small

    Adjusted air in and air out.
    400+ timeslips.

    When in doubt, GAS IT! This will either fix the problem, or end the suspense.
