Something interesting is that I used to have a 1985 crown victoria myself. Power steering and turns like a god. Extremely comfortable and I had fun on roadtrips in that car... until I blew out the radiator. Don't ask.
I drive a '01 Dodge Neon right now and what a difference in car! It's like my passenger is practically sitting in my lap. You didn't experience the "turning incidents" that them big cars give you? Hell... try driving one through the current Big Dig or even just up ANY of the ramps onto route 93N. (Boston, MA loc's to all whom don't live here).
Hey let us know if he'll let you drive that impala when it's finished BTW.

Kate with an impala in school going on a roadtrip.. As I read that I knew that everything in the world is right.. It just seemed soooo perfect!

Again another fine piece of art from the Eyrie Productions staff! Please keep it going! :)
