Does anyone know what happened to Hitchhiker "David"? I got new from his wife he is DOA. I can only asume this is the truth, is this the first passing of a MM member?
A sad note for the MM community.

I hope not - that would be sad news indeed.
Please keep us informed you hear anything else - hopefully to the contrary.

Mr. Mercury
Yes unfortunatally its true, I had sent him a polo shirt and the wife just sent it back asking for a refund and stateing in the note he was deceased. The links posted match up with what I know, that he was working in Kansas at the time, and that is when I last heard from him. Condolences to the family, it s a sad day to loose a MM member
PS I have the wife's # but can't reach her...

My condolences to Hitchhiker's family. I helped him out a few times when he needed OASIS reports for the vehicles that he was interested in purchasing. And some of them were not even Fords. He will be missed here.

Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.
MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.
Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.
Rest In Peace:

See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.
IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.
