Hmm, okay...lets try for: picture of you in your Panther (or Subaru) recreating the once famous speed trap scene. It can be a variation of that as far as props, but should as close as possible recreate it. Please don't do this on the side of a road, only the people where you live should be in jeopardy of getting pulled over.

Can you please elaborate on that? And why a Subaru?

Without the tribal knowledge, a lot of members have no idea you're talking about.
But, most days on my route to work, there is a motor cop set up on Van Dyke in Warren, MI. So hoping to capture an actual speed trap in a Panther, I started shooting video. And sure enough, I found him!
It's hard to make out, but you can sort of see him in the parking lot, writing the ticket.

I will try to find and post the original picture for reference.

I am! Do you have the Rizzo version, or one of the follow-ups?
I figured that if searching out situation or props in real life were good, so would a simple site search for terms in the challenge to find:

The GS Two Tone Package includes: � hood ornament � c-pillar emblems � LS style body side moldings � body color mirror caps (the b-pillars are body color too, but I don't know if that is package specific) � two tone interior (mine is leather and includes embossed logos on the seats) � front door sill plates that say �Grand Marquis�
No one seems to want to to do this challenge, so instead of letting the thread die or move to page 2 or 3
original challenge still stands
OR:
A picture of a piece of your transmission, something going in or has been taken out, something that at least requires a pan drop, and has to be identifiable as from an AOD/AODE/4R7X[EW] (heck, even a...C5? for those first year Panthers).

I like this thread. Cannot show my tranny, it still works good. But I can show a CV with the entire front end removed if that challenge comes up...
