He lives with his wife, two rascally sons and is a car and motorcycle nut in his free time.

The Ford Crown Victoria, lovingly known as the Crown Vic, has been a much-sold, ubiquitous kind of a car that you tend to spot just about everywhere that you look.

Think of it as Americas panda car that re-energized Ford in the early 90s.

Why a police car would carry on to have a cassette player is beyond us.

The first cars to come on to its new Panther platform were the Ford LTD and the Mercury Marquis and they ran on 4.9-liter or 5.8-liter V8s, making 129-142 horses.

By 1982, the 165-horsepower 5.8-liter version became a cop-only option.

But the Crown Vic hasnt been exclusively an American cop car, it has been part of the Canadian and the Mexican police force as well.

It wasnt even the most powerful of the lot, especially in the later years.

This is why the more powerful Crown Vic was a cop car and the less powerful one, a fleet car.

And with a rather long length and wheelbase, they were also a tad cumbersome.

And the cars were heavy so all in all, consider the Crown Vic to be a V8-powered leviathan.

And yes, the Crown Vic rode quiet and very comfortable, almost like a limo.

The Charger is already a powerful car and as a cop car, we are sure there are plenty of extras under the hood to bear down on the fastest of villains on the road with ease.

In the Charger, both the cops in the front are squished together, which makes long hours just that bit more irritating.

The Crown Vic came with decent ground clearance and with the beefed-up suspension of cop cars, an additional 0.8 inches made some difference.

Eventually, new orders for it were stopped when production ended in 2011.

In 2018, he officially flipped and switched sides to the editorial.
