In my future home I want something similar. Not a pole barn, as it's uninsulated and cold feeling. A fully insulated, heated and cooled, homely garage.

Is that a police cruiser back there next to the Nissan? Crown Vic by the looks of it.

yup, that's my work car. its an 04 Crown Vic CVPI. it sits next to my 92 Camry SE (V6 with 5spd) the CVPI has been running well. just had to have the intake manifold replaced unfortunatly. plastic hose fitting cracked right off and spewed coolant everywhere. luckily the city footed the bill for that sucker as it was almost $1400 parts and labor!! i have all of the old parts though, lol. good eye on spotting the patrol car! over the summer i have to turn the ol' girl in and i will be issused a new 2013 AWD Ford Interceptor. i'd be lying if i said i wasn't excited. the Vic is a great car really and i will miss her but the thought of a brand new cruiser is almost too much.. if you wanted i can post a few more pics of the ol' CVPI.

Your "work car"? I have a great respect for officers, a close family friend and his brother that I have grown up hunting and fishing with are both officers now. One on an Indian reservation near me and the other is an officer and works in a jail a few hours away. Both awesome guys and have taught me to respect the law and officers that keep it safe for everyone. My hat's off to you sir

Holy crap! I'm glad an intake on the ol' 12a isn't that expensive!

Those things look awesome! I've seen a few around me and they are amazing looking - somewhat like an Aston Martin in my opinion. Our friends have Chargers and say they love those as well.
