    Hey kids! I don't hang out on this site much these days as I sold my (2) Marauders a long time ago.... That doesn't mean I still don't get excited when I spot one in the wild. I was walking along Blue Star Highway in Douglas, MI last Saturday, look what I spotted: Click or Copy on this link...

    Remember the Ford Interceptor concept? Here comes Lincoln

    You beat me to it. I think it's a great looking concept. According to Autoweek, there's no mention of whether it'll be FWD or RWD... No mention of the platform yet, either. If this is still in concept form, It's pretty unlikely to see a production vehicle for at least a couple years...

    "After Marauder" cars?

    Wow -- Thanks for all the responses! I'm totally impressed that the group here aren't brand-snobs. There's a l lot of love for Mopars here! I grew up in a Chrysler-family, but my love of anything with wheels and a motor have found me trying all kinds of brands. The Chicago Auto Show is this...

    "After Marauder" cars?

    It's an 1981. Chrysler made a "sporty" version (yeah, right) that costs less than the regular Cordoba, called the Cordoba LS. This particular monster boasts an 90 HP Slant Six. I would love to do a V8 swap, but she has less than 10,000 miles on the clock, doesn't leak a drip of oil, idles and...

    "After Marauder" cars?

    Copy that... My dealer practically begged me to go for a spin, especially after telling him that I'd have to buy it if I drove it. Instead, I went home to make sure I could scrap up a down payment. I returned, when for a spin, and started the negotiations. I told him I had to "sleep on it,"...

    "After Marauder" cars?

    Me too, certainly from the drivetrain and sheet metal. Those Ecoboost sixes are turning out to be very solid engines. I feel the Taurus's shortcoming is a little bit of a plasticy interior. The Taurus is ready for an upgrade.

    "After Marauder" cars?

    Hey guys -- It's been awhile since I've been here. I've had two 'Rauders, one Black, one Silver Birch. I enjoyed them both immensity. I'm more "car guy" than "brand car" -- and have had many cars both before and after the Marauders. Since owning the last Marauder, I've had (2) BMW 135i s...

    Is This a Reasonable Price?

    ... And I wish they wouldn't. In the collector's world, they aren't. My new favorite show is on the Velocity Channel. It's called "What's My Car Worth" -- and they often talk about the rarity of vehicles. It's quite an education to learn that low production does not necessarily mean rare.

    Wanted To Buy Ready for a 3rd -- Info on this one?

    Ahhhh..... Okay, now I get the "slow" joke. My current ride is a Bimmer... and it IS fast. But I can say I miss the low-end torque of a good ole' Yankee V8! ... Thanks for the leads. I'm moving back to Illinois from California at the beginning of July, so I wouldn't be making any car...

    Wanted To Buy Ready for a 3rd -- Info on this one?

    Hey guys.. I've had a Black MM, then a Silver Birch, and now I think I'm ready to "come back to the dark side" --- and find a DTR Marauder. The one for sale on Ebay right now looks pretty darn nice. Does anyone happen to know this history of this one...

    Detail Center, Chicago LOOP

    Guys -- Not an active MM owner anymore (Had Two) -- But I know how much you guys like to take care of your cars. If you work in or near the Loop in Chicago there is this great auto detailer at the corner of the River and LaSalle. Same building as Fultons. I don't know how he does it, but for...

    Motor Trend newsletter lists MM as a Merc "miss"

    I've had two.... I loved them both.... But they really did miss the mark on the quality of the materials. At the advertised price points, the dash and door panels are embarassingly hard and cheap looking -- even by the standars of 2003-4 vehicles. It also didn't help matters that there are 3...

    need help ac still wont work after spend 600 on new evaporator.

    I hate it when I read advertisements for used cars and they say something like, "AC Working but needs a recharge!" Most of you know, refridgerant never wears out -- so in the case of system needing a recharge, the leak needs to be fixed first!

    RIP Mercury letter marketing dept

    I've been predicting the fall of Mercury for some time now -- and have wondered why it didn't happen sooner. They've done a poor job of brand differentiation for the last two decades. They've had a few stand outs over their 71 years, but not a lot. Mercury has done it's bit for King and...

    V6 Camaro and a Honda

    Camaros are NOT sports cars. "Sporty," perhaps. The new ones with V6's make over 300 HP! Not bad for the low 20K's!

    2 quick questions: Overdrive and stall converters

    Answer: Press it, and the trans shifts to third and "engine brakes" the car. As a follow up, OverDrive is a fuel millage enhancer. If you're out on the interstate, leave it on, or you're not going to get 24MPG.... And as a third follow up -- A "TRUE" overdrive is a trans and rear end setup...
