Ran accross this one on my way back from Miami Beach. It was some dirty lookin 400lb woman that was smoking. Hence the arm hanging. She looked HAWT! :)

Asking an awful lot of those air bags, ain't she? :eek: roflmbo

On another note, here is a pearl '96 I almost bought as a mate for mine (then the owner decided to keep it - oh well, she's a friend of mine and I'll snag it if she decides to sell it again. She JUST put brand new OEM Ford air bags all the way around!):

What color is this? I've never seen this color before on a mark..usually not a fan of brown/gold..but it actually looks kinda cool.

BTW this thread is awsome..I do this sh*t all the time with mark viiis I see on the road as well as other cars that my friends own..usually send texts of pics to friends of their cars on the road. I've even got my friends on board taking pics of marks they see. :D

I started doing this all the time when my friend bought a 2002 grand am as a second car..one day we noticed 4 or so red grand ams within an hour or so..so we started noticing them on the road ALL the time after that, and it eventually turned into a joke between him and i, everytime we saw one we'd snap a shot of it and text it to one another..I must have over 50 pictures of red grand ams on my phone because of this lol. I don't know how many RED grand ams pontiac made in the late 90s and 2000s but it had to be a ridiculous amount..I challenge anyone to be on the lookout for red GAs..you'll start to notice them pop up EVERYWHERE.

Yeah, the car was recently painted. God knows where he got the idea to paint it that color. It used to be silver. It's a real Diamond Anniversary.
 
I posted some of these in a different thread showing how many marks i come across on a daily basis, but i figured i would post them in the correct thread.

Most of the marks i see around me are gen 2s suprisingly, and alot of them are the so called "saught after" black on black LSCs..1st gens are a rarity around here for some reason..

Anyone claiming these marks??

I've seen pics of this car before, I think someone on either this site or .org owns it.
 
There is some hot mama that drives an Ivory Gen2 around here. She waves at me and I wave back every time I see her. She's a blonde too and looks so hot in an Ivory Mark with a light interior. Like I would tell her in bed, "are you sure you can handle all of that?" :p

the gen 2's are the only ones that can make it to my shop, then we all hang out and wash them up and sip beer and talk reliabilty talks, while all the gen 1 guys are scavanging parts to fix theirs so they can come hang out with the big boys too.

I used to think that Fla. was the LAND OF THE GRAN MARQUES,,,You'd see them everywhere. One guy told me it was the REAR WHEEL DRIVE that made him keep buying them. Then he told me something I had known for years " the only reason Detroit ever built front wheel drive was "for them" not us. Like a fuel pump in the gas tank.

Probably some kids GrMa. Shame on you. (Where did you say this was,,I'm 72 and on the prowl)
 
I was always pissed when I went down to Tampa/St Pete Fla cause I saw NO Mark VIII's. I saw one in a car park over hang and that was it :confused:

Here in Central NJ I see em all the time (mostly 2nd Gen) so?

It looks like Florida is the land of Lincolns. i can go 4 months without seeing another Mark VIII here.

Older retired people buy Lincolns down here and keep them FOR YEARS. I was in Pompano Bch a few years ago and one used car lot that sells upscale cars only,, had 4 Marks. We're in Tampa for the winter. Saw a pitiful 97 Mark yesterday at our local Mickey Dees,,all scratchy,,maroon,,seats beat up,,blue/green door on the right,,steering wheel looked like a beaver had chewed on it. AND worst of all 4-5 decals all over rear bumper and HUMP. One was "my kid can beat up your Honor Roll kid". Lady driving it said it had been a one owner,,some old guy,,when we saw how her kids acted in McDees,,then I knew why the car looked like it did.
