I've had a 2005 Grand Marquis for over seven years and have driven it all the time over black ice and blizzards just like that and worse. Never spun out of control and never needed snow tires, and I would definitely consider owning the same car again. While driving, in the snow or rain, turn off traction control and just drive slow. If you feel the car start to skid on ice, stay calm, look in the direction you want to go, and turn the wheel just enough to keep the car straight. The trunk is huge. Dress warmly and keep a good, large snow shovel and scraper in the trunk. For this particular situation, I would've leveled the snow in front and back with my shovel, to make it easier, then cleared it all the way through. Yes, it's definitely lot of work, but once you get on the road, the worst is behind you unless you have to park in a snowy driveway. In that case, more shoveling is required. If the car is stuck, don't hold down on the accelerator. Instead, give a few short taps. It will usually work its way over the snow. Hope this helps! These cars really are amazing!
@DirtyDanMunicipalMan4 күн бұрын
@@JustAZillennial Out of all the panthers I’ve owned, my 04’ Grand Marquis was the best in the snow. The traction control on it did an excellent job keeping the car moving. All my other Vics were P71’s that didn’t have traction control. My current Vic has an open differential, no traction control. It really needs snow tires. But with proper snow tires it doesn’t miss a beat and I have no issues getting anywhere. I’ve found these cars to be exceptionally predictable in the snow and in over a decade of driving them have only been stuck once. And that was my own fault as I pulled off the road into a ditch that I couldn’t see under the snow to help another motorist who was stuck in the snow.

Both mine are non-patrol cars. My white '03 was a detective vehicle, it did have a cage in the back (taken out before I got it), spot light removed, no light bar, no push bar, only 1 antenna in roof. It has a full carpet interior, not a plastic floor. The county I got it from I was able to talk to a mechanic that worked on it, he said it was a detective's vehicle till about 2018 and when it had ~ 110,000 miles. It became a "spare" vehicle for general use in the motor pool. He said it almost never got used, occasionally used for parts runs, but said it had not moved from the back lot in 4 years before I got it this year with 112,000 miles on it. My black '11 was a Texas DPS "Protective Services" (the governors "secret service") vehicle for the first 145,000 miles. I found a business card in it and called it, trooper said he drove it for 10 years just driving around the state with the governors detail, lots of highway miles. He said he loved that car, it would cruise at 80+ mph all day long. It was then used by the Texas Emergency Management office, not sure what for, but they drove it ~ 25,000 miles in 3 years. Vehicle is a SAP vehicle with cloth bench seats front and rear, carpet, no light bar, 1 hole in roof from an antenna, cruise control, CD player (broken), Only 560 idle hours on it.

@@DirtyDanMunicipalMan Yeah, I am still looking around for a 3rd one, and seems I did get lucky with what a got. Most everything I am seeing now is pretty beat up with super high mileage. Both are pretty solid vehicles, and aside from tires and basic maintenance on both (all fluids changes, filters, belts, plugs and such) and a few other minor issues, they are good vehicles. Being able to talk to the mechanic was a bonus, he was the one that helped me load the vehicle onto the trailer and had been with the county for almost 10 years. He said they were pretty strict on routine maintenance, and used either OEM or top tier NAPA parts. He also said the only reason they got rid of it was it had aged out (said they auction vehicles at 20 years regardless of mileage or condition), but this one sat for an extra year because it was forgotten about. Good info in the video, because it does seem so many are being listed as detective or admin vehicles, but is obvious they are not. Ford adding the idle hour meter does help figuring that out in many cases. Same for if it is a SAP vehicle, not as many of those were used as patrol vehicles.
