Well I bought the first Mark VIII a month ago.Bought one off of e-bay last week for my son. Went to the seller to put up the deposit and check the car over, I did good, real good. Decided to see if the seller had any parts cars there to fix the one I just bought for the son, and low and behold, he had 4 others. His other mechanics put me on to one that he just received, and after a little bit of haggeling, I bought that one also. So now we have three. Waiting for the two new one to be delivered this week.

Had busy weekend trying to get the 96 in shape for the meet. Installed the new wires. (Nology)(Thanks ONEBADMK8 and team LMS). Removed the resonators fron the intake tube, and drilled the airbox. And yes this little trick does make a difference. Installed the 10 disk changer. Man has gotta have tunes, doesn't he!! Blacked out the crome on the doors. And all of this was done after two nights of heavy drinking at the local watering hole with a very wild group of gorgeous females.

Next weekend, (if not sooner) the suspension kit from 1wykdmk8 goes on. (Tech article to follow) Too bad the 19's wont be in on time. And as soon as the red one that I just bought is on the road, the 96 goes in for paint.

Did I mention that I like these things. My 21 year old son is very excited and eager to get started on the 93 that we bought off e-bay. He has been bummed since he crashed my beemer last year. http://mmyers.com/Micah's_Page.html (For pics of the dead beemer and it's replacement.)

I would like to express my sincere thanks to all who have helped me out directly or indirectly through posts. Any members ever need help while in the York, PA area, contact me. I'll do what I can to help out. I have many tools and having been a mechanic for years, a fair amount of knowledge.

OK, long post, Buford tired. Need sleep.

They are addicting. I have been in rehab for 5 of the 10 years of ownership.

story sounds good. :Beer Those 19" will look really good but i am sure they will be really heavy. Sounds like your into performance so you will probably notice a negative difference in performance and gas mileage, cornering too. Everyting is affected by a heavy wheel. :Bang Try to find some lightweight 19".

Like I posted in another thread I wonder if the Betty Ford Clinic has a garage to work on cars LOL. :Beer

"The Ride" will be at Geno's bash. Trying to get some good PICS for the garage. The only one we can bring to the bash is the 96 as the other two are not legal yet. Need to go through the inspection and titling process. Takes about 6 weeks in PA due to the status of the title. Both of these cars were bought from an insurance salvor. I have to get the new airbags and module in place before the inspection process can continue. If anyone has some detailed instructions for that process, please let me know. Two airbags, module and any wiring harnesses that I need for them, $200.00. Much better than dealer prices.

The meet will be the day after the Bachlerette party and I really don't think any of them will be in any shape for this kind of get together. Hell I don't know what kind of shape I will be in. Sleep wise at least. No drinking for me that night. Just escort and body guard. And WOW what a group of bodies to guard.
