Watch a Mark IV be put through its paces

If it is Lincoln-related and doesn't seem to fall in the other categories or you just can't figure out where to put it, put it here!

I don’t care for this show but this is true “performance art”.

Yeah, I saw that a couple days ago. I'll say here what I said there: That's the driver, not the car. I can't see how anyone could delude themselves into thinking they have a better control of a vehicle by being smushed up against the dash. Even William Conrad handled those cars better than that.

I suspect that was recorded to give cars of that vintage a bad rep, as if they need any more help in that regard.

1966 Continental Sedan, affectionately known as "Frankenstein" until body restoration is done (to be renamed "General Sherman" on that event)

Hey, I drove a luxury car though a performance track and it performed poorly.

Even a drunk blonde could do a better job.
