    My dad was issued a Crown 2.8L inline-six in the late 80s when he worked with a tobacco company. It was the first automatic car we experienced and it was quicker/faster than any other vehicle we had ridden before. It was the first time I rode in a car that easily did 140kmh.

    The bad thing is that it was a station wagon. I get the butt jokes from my neighbors that we have a hearse in our driveway. Hahahaha

    Funny thing is that when my dad left the company a few years later, his company sold the car to a funeral house.

    Now that's what I call a versatile car.

    We used to pretend ours was Ecto-1.



    I see a lot more big SUVs like Chevys and Fords being used as a hearse these days.

    Iyan siguro stigma ng wagon, kaya hindi siguro nauso dito.

    Mga 70s at 80s Crown madalas ma convert sa Isuzu diesel para matipid.
