What's Up With Vic??

Chronological updates on life with my
1998 Ford Crown Victoria LX HPP
Way back in 2000, before the word "blog" was so "in", I started a running log of my life with my then-newly acquired 1998 Ford Crown Victoria.  Years later, I am still at it, though updates don't happen as often as in the past.  So, are you curious about life with a Vic?  Here is the fun, the bad luck, and the expensive of owning my car!  Click a link below to start your journey...
