We had a Vickie for a few years. Nice car, kinda hard on gas, and it scared
people at night who thought they had a cop behind them. It died of a head
gasket issue and drove itself to the junkyard.
I escaped the "grandpa" stuff because everyone knew it was a "winter car" to
my 68 Vette. I had a tendency to get BIG 2nd cars, in part as a counter to
the rather spartan living conditions inside the Vette. My favorite of these
was a '68 Caddy convertable that I had in the very early 80's.

Sort
like...mention a Crown Victoria in front of 50 guys and the mental
picture
48 will have will involve a very old driver.
Nope ... a cop!
Yeah...them too. But, when I was shopping for a vehicle last year for
towing
my 14' boat, the Crown Vic was one of my final candidates. All my friends
said "Grandpa!". :-)
The instant barbeque gas tank feature blew the Ford out of the running and
I
ended up with the Tacoma.
