    I manufacture dial tone, and fix phones for Big Bell. Hoping to be on the dole soon when my military retirement kicks in.
    I'm not a 'real' Prius driver, Big Bell uses them for fleet duty but I have 55 thousand miles in the G3.

    I'm a Flight Test Engineer. My profile picture is when I was on board a new 787 for a flight test. And yes, being an engineer, I'm fascinated with the technology in the prius and love the geeky futuristic flying bridge interior :)

    That's exactly what we do. We reproduce weatherstrip for Vintage and Antique domestic makes. What kind of wagon do you have ?

    I have a 1990 Ford Crown Victoria wagon. I'm looking for the weatherstrip for the rear door/tailgate. Ford part number is D9AZ7441608A. I've heard for used the same one for their panther platform wagons from like 1979 on up but I can't find one. I've tried all the NOS places like Green Sales etc and have come up short.

    I'm a member over at Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, Marauder, and Towncar and GrandMarq.NET and if you guys made something that works for this you should have a bunch of people waiting in line with money in hand.

    Including me!!!

    Well, you got me there. We haven't started on the Panther platform cars yet. I am rather partial to those cars as I am also a member the Crown Vic.net group (Harolds86). I have an '86 Crown Victoria 2dr Coupe with 46k miles. The Panther platform cars, for the most part, used clinch seal on all door openings. I haven't seen the tailgate area of a wagon yet but I am assuming the same is true for that opening. We might be able to match something up. I'll do some sniffing around in the parts manual to see if I can figure something out for you.

    I'll take some pics today and post them for you.

    Your '86 sounds nice. I like the coupes.

    I'm here to be an outlier.

    Age: 16
    Make payments? Yes
    Occupation: Grocery store associate
    Reasons for buying: Technology, gas mileage, SPACE.

    I'm probably going to be a repeat Prius customer. Who needs a Cadillac when you get the luxury of A/C, backup camera, AND 50 MPG?
