sent you a PM, Lorenzo

Hey, gang. It was a beautiful morning here in Arizona so I decided to give my 98 LSC a bubble bath. As I was happily heading towards my local car wash, I ran into some road construction and of course got trapped in a single lane behind a nasty-a$$ foreign pick up truck which threw a chunk of...

Hey, Zonies! Been busy out enjoying the cooler weather -- brrrrrrr, gotta LOVE the temp finally dipping back into the 70's again (at least at night). Anyway, as far as Frog's suggestion to make calls and stuff, most of the stuff proposed so far just involves showing up: PIR down in Chandler...

yessss, frigman, furrburd wood werk: http://www.firebirdraceway.com/5.5web/5.5_streedrags.htm ;-)

BTW, I'm not all that familair with wild drag strips or pretty green grassy picnic grounds like in the pix of the Chicago LVC meet. But since I live in downtown Scottsdale, I definitley know of some snazzy valet parking lots we could STORM -- if that helps. ;-) PS: Come to think of it, on...

Frogman, one translation tool is the KEYBOARD -- coz looks like bigdog is CLOSE to hitting the right keys, but alas there is not always an encounter! mt girl = mY girl...the T is right next to the Y iv it wher closer = iF it wher closer...the V key obviously got in the way of the F one...

By chance, Max, the parts guru for Mark VIII's all over the country, is actually located at 5 Star Ford right here in Scottsdale -- down on Motor Mile on McDowell Road and 70th Street. Any part you order from Max can ALSO be installed by the techs in the 5 Star Ford shop -- from exotic upgrades...

Regardless of the price, even if you DID replace the old one with a brand spanking new one, I'm not aware that in post-production Ford added ANY magical anti-lasagna ingredients to the original plastic recipe -- meaning another few years down the road, your back seal will STILL look like a...

Sounds like something went from bad to worse? Try running the EATC self diagnostic program http://www.aircondition.com/dsmobileac/eatc.html to see if it's throwing any known error codes. Meanwhile, the AC diverting from the dash vents to the defroster is a VACUUM LEAK. It happened to my...

Mine is a 98 with 30K -- so looks like an age issue, not a mileage one. I figure if folk want their Marks to hold their re-sale value and not depreciate so quickly, it's probably wise to properly maintain all the nifty lil gadgets and toys -- and NOT have an interior full of duct tape and...

If it's any consolation, the list price of that part is $378.33!!! And like I said, it DID totally fix the tilt, which a LOT of Gen 2 owners have trouble with. Otherwise, some folk have said they've pried the button out of a unit at the junkyard and somehow managed to re-insert it -- or...

I have a 98 sliverfrost/light graphite LSC, and YES, the washer button apparently manages to escape often enough. I don't have a pic of it, but it's easy to recogonize -- shiney, round, chrome, and dime-sized, imbedded right on the end of the turn signal arm -- technically known as the...

I have a Mercon V flush scheduled for later this week. It'll be 129.95 + tax at Five Star Ford in Scottsdale, AZ. HI MAX!

Sheesh, there are interior ARTISTS out there! Instead of SITTING in the Mark, why not fire it up and go have a look see? http://www.mendozasautointeriors.com/3.htm PS: These folk make dreams become reality perhaps a lil more ea$ily: http://www.autoupholsterykits.com/ PPS: Then of...

At least with the convertible top, you won't hafta worry about Lincoln lasagna! Might be the only known sure-fire cure...

BTW: [1] 98 silverfrost/light graphite LSC with 30K [2] 44 y.o. male (who feels like a kid again every time I stomp the accelerator) [3] 100 miles a week at app. 18 mpg in & around metro Phoenix [4] LOVE the lights at night -- from puddle to HID's to neon to cockpit [5] HATE the Lincoln...

Well, when I lived on the East Coast I always had dark cars, but now that I live in Arizona, let's just say it's been 110 degrees every day for the past week -- so as far as black on black or the like, case closed! Funny, most folk here on the boards talk about rolling the Marks outta storage...

Hehehe...when I was 16, my first car was a Ford Maverick -- bright orange with a ratty black cloth interior -- it looked like Halloween on wheels and not at ALL like the snazzy pix you posted of YOUR first ride. So even though in your garage profile you say "i know my Mark isnt anything...

Hmmmm, so y'all think maybe the local boys' blue-&-white Crown Vics just have a major case of Mark 8 envy?

Are ALL Marks cop-magnets? Or just MINE? I've only had my 98 silverfrost/light graphite LSC with 30K for a lil over a month now -- but I SWEAR, no matter what time of day or night I fire it up, cop cars just seem to suddenly pop outta NOWHERE, so it's starting to seem like I always have a...
