    I am now a member too

    Slim, i'm glad to hear that it was only a Saturn. Afterall, how much damage can a tin car with plastic(oops, I mean "dent-resistent") panels do anyway? Was she cute at least?

    Victim of FRAUD

    Thankfully, I havn't been a victim of fraud yet, but that's terrible. I really hate dishonest people with a passion, particularly someone who steals stuff from other people. People like that make me wish that cruel and unusual punishments were not unconstitutional.

    Motor Swap

    I'd like to know if he could pass emmissions with that size of an engine. Also, as heavy as that 6.8 litre V10 might be, it probably threw off the weight distribution pretty far. If Ford couldn't get the 5.4 litre V8 to fit on the Marauder, how in the world did those guys get a 6.8 litre V10 to fit?

    Welcome to the club, although this is not a club you want to join :( Out of curiosity, what kind of car was she driving? Not another Honda I hope!

    The Disrespect Continues -- now in Consumer Reports

    I'd like to know if they even drove a Crown Vic/Grand Marquis, or Marauder before spewing this crap. Again, this is automotive bias as I bet they've already judged the car before writing their crap. I'd like to know what's so noisy about the V8 in the Crown Vic? Note they also didn't comment on...

    Chirp when a/c compressor cycles on?

    Unfortunately in my case, it's gonna have to blow up before my dealer will do anything about it. The tech admitted that it's not normal, but blatantly said that he can't do anything about it, and even hinted that I should spend some money in their service department! Oh well, like I said, i'm...

    Chirp when a/c compressor cycles on?

    Jack, I saw the clutch under the hood by letting the a/c run while I looked under the hood at this thing that would start spinning, then stop spinning. I think this is best left to someone else as I wouldn't feel comfortable doing this myself. I can do simple things, but i'm honestly not the...

    Chirp when a/c compressor cycles on?

    The good thing about this dealership, is that they care about the quality of the work they do. I remember a buddy of mine had lots of warrentee trouble with his old Contour back when he bought it the last year it was made. He bought the car at another dealership, but this one took care of every...

    Chirp when a/c compressor cycles on?

    Thanks, as I may try this SVT Ford dealer then. They have an excellent service department, and they really went out of their way to help me on some of the problems I had on my old Cobra. What i'll definately do, is throw some money their way first. Their parts department knows me since i'm...

    Stories about people seeing your MM for the first time.

    It's like a "well taken care of" Impalla SS. There are just so many running around town that are abused to hell and back.

    OD gone at 20,000 miles

    Did Pam have to know about the cobra manifolds that were installed? Maybe you could have told her, "gee, I dunno why the car sounds louder," or, "are you sure you arn't imagining it?" :)

    Stories about people seeing your MM for the first time.

    My coworkers told me the day I drove to work in my new Marauder, that I looked like a drug dealer. I don't get along with them very well because they think i'm an over achiever that deliberately makes their lazy asses look damn lazy. However, a couple that I really get along with loved and and...

    OD gone at 20,000 miles

    Hey, congradulations on getting your car back! I say it all the time, but nothing feels as good as being back in a car you call your own! Even if it's a good loaner or rental car, I just never have as much fun, or feel as comfortable as being in my own car..............

    Chirp when a/c compressor cycles on?

    It is scummy how these dealers operate, but what can we do? They are privately owned, so our choices are limited. I could file a complaint against them with Ford, but that would not be a good idea since I may need them again in the future which would suck if they started holding a grudge against...

    Chirp when a/c compressor cycles on?

    I understand what you are saying, but as a general rule, I will not throw money towards a department that doesn't care about my needs. I've got a great local SVT Ford dealer right by my house, and i'll see if they can do warranty work on Mercury products. Our family combined has bought a few...

    Chirp when a/c compressor cycles on?

    Well, I took it to the dealership this morning, and even test drove with an a/c tech there. What I was told has proven that my worst fears are true. After showing them the noise while accelerating and driving on the highway, this is what they told me. The tech told me that right now, there is no...

    RIP Oldsmobile

    That Lincoln Blackwood was an awesome concept, and i'm sad that it didn't sell. However, that truck for what it cost just wasn't very competitive. It didn't even come with AWD or 4WD which should have been standard for that price. It was a pretty looking truck though..............

    Marauder Performance Chip from Alternative Auto

    Lidio, that is great news as I can't wait to order a tuner. I just like the ability where I can save the stock program and reload it if I needed to before I take it in for warranty work. I just wish the summer would hurry up so I can make a trip and start with a few mods. Once all the details...

    Car and Driver

    Now I know why I stopped reading them, and never renewed my subscription after expiring a while ago. It's the bias that is clearly evident that makes me upset. It's upsetting when some products don't get a fair evaluation because the journalists evaluating it have already judged the book by it's...

    New Car and Driver

    That tidbit of an article really stinks of some major bias. These guys really consider themselves professional journalists? I bet if Chrysler discontinued the 300C the next day, it would get some major ass kissing.
