    What kind of retard...

    The same kind of person who scraped their right front bumper along the lower panels of my left hand doors in a parking lot when my MM too was sitting by itself without cars parked next to it. $1400 to fix. No note no nothing.

    26 mpg wow!!!!

    That's very good. The best I did was about 25 on a trip from DC to Indianapolis and back. Great job.

    How does one know which production number car they have

    Charlie, I have the '04 and I still get service letters from my dealer that say GM - it's annoying. You'd think they would get it right on the '04s. Jon

    2003 Mercury Marauder Color, Trim & Option Breakdown

    Charlie, Actually, I think the H in 2MH means that the car left the factory "unfinished" on its way to the moon roof installer. I don't think it means moon roof specifically but just "unfinished". I saw that somewhere in a VIN decoder on line. See...

    BFG KDW's Discontinued?

    I still like the look and handling of the OEM tires. I'm only on my second set at 68K miles. I got 42K on my first rears and now have 26K on the second set - they look about half shot. I'll still get the OEMs if I can find them.

    Why Do They Call It .... Home Improvement ???

    Charlie, We did the kitchen refurb about 3 years ago. Ripped the whole thing out to the walls including the floor. Luckily it was completed in 5 short weeks starting on Jan. 2. The result was excellent though. The new kitchen turned out very nice. We had the island, the refrigerator, and...

    car covers........

    I just bought the California Car Cover Superweave for outdoor elements. I don't have any long term experience yet. It has only been on the car for 2 months now but through a lot of rain and wind. Each time I check under it the car is clean, dry, and nice. So far, so good. It is for my other...

    2003 Mercury Marauder Color, Trim & Option Breakdown

    Yes, really, a VIN digit goes ignored by Ford - that's pretty weak. I would not count this against MCM. They probably thought it was a no brainer that Ford would handle the MHHM ones. Can Ford get us the info anyway even if not on the sheet so we have it? Jon

    Back surgery help!

    Two VERY successful back surgeries here for herniated discs, 1996 and 2008 (separate discs). Recovery was quick on both and I feel great. The 1996 surgery area has bothered a little bit (slight return of discomfort) from 2004 - 2008 but is gone again now. I was lucky to have the best disc...

    2003 Mercury Marauder Color, Trim & Option Breakdown

    The '04 sheet does NOT show moonroof breakdown. Also, it's interesting that in the VIN decoder sent with the package they ignore the moonroof-destined cars that start with MHHM instead of MEHM. It's my understanding that the moonroofs were installed after the factory at a third party but...

    Speaking of wiper blades

    I just put on some new Trico Neoforms this weekend. We'll see how that goes. It's only my third set of blades for the car in 5 years - I'm a wiper blade slacker. These are the fully covered - no exposed metal to catch ice - plus smoothly arched to supposedly lay tight to the window. I'll...

    Trunk Leak - What's Up???

    Congrats on #4000! Did you only do the vertical window edge or did you do the horizontal edge along the bottom of the window too? And you do mean the lip that lays right on the window glass, right? Thanks. Jon

    Christmas Music 24/7

    Charlie, My daughter checks on WASH-FM every year and starts it around the house the day they start. It's been on in my house since Nov. 20! However, I did turn her on to a great Christmas CD by Reverend Horton Heat that I love and she plays a lot of. This CD is great...

    Trunk Leak - What's Up???

    Well, the silicone sealing of the body seam in the left channel did NOT take care of the problem. I guess the next place is the window seal on the left side as some of you folks have mentioned. Although, this morning there were no drips hanging under the inside fender but there was still water...

    Trunk Leak - What's Up???

    Thanks for the moral support! I am very puzzled that my running all kinds of water in that area last weekend did not show it but a crummy light rain yesterday did. This is light rain! Not a freakin' hose! How can this be? Well, I will be sealing that seam tomorrow anyway and then we'll see...

    Trunk Leak - What's Up???

    UPDATE. Yesterday it rained lightly all day (less than 0.1 inch) with the car sitting out. I open the trunk last night and see a small puddle on the ledge right next to the 6 disc changer on the left side. I see drips hanging from the bottom lip of the inside fender. I feel wetness kind of...

    2003 Mercury Marauder Color, Trim & Option Breakdown

    I just called FPG. They said I should have received the 2004 breakdown sheet so they will send one out to me this week. Thanks, folks, for pointing this oversight out. UPDATE: I received my missing 2004 breakout sheet in the mail this week, Nov. 23. Jon

    Parking brake photo needed

    Check this for sure. If you get that vertical spring on backwards it will rub and be a problem. Happened to me on BOTH sides!

    2003 Mercury Marauder Color, Trim & Option Breakdown

    My 2004 packet did NOT include such a breakdown sheet. Does anyone have one??? I sure would like to see it. Jon
