I live in the wonderful little hamlet of Cary.

BTW... Brought the Marauder into Capital L&M of Cary today..... Found a couple of defects in the paint... was sitting at a stoplight and the oil pressure went to 0 (no noise or other problems, might be just an electrical connection loose), and the CD changer in the trunk doesn't work (no power to it). Just got a call from the service dept. Eventhough I dropped the car off today @ 7:30AM it wouldn't be ready today!! I can understand that they have to get a body shop to fix the paint, but one of their techs can't figure out why there is no power to the CD changer??? No power to the CD changer connector & fuse is good, so it's most likely something disconnected in between. I'd fix it myself (was a L&M / Ford mechanic for over 10 years), but I thought I'd give first crack at it. Just think it's strange that they couldn't fix it.....

A friend of mine belongs to the Mustang club and I think they might want us to join. Will let you know.

Thanks to gdmjoe for the link (I should have thought of that).
