Hi everyone,
Picked up a Silver MM last Thursday. Outstanding! I can't remember the last car I owned that was this fun to drive. I have some questions regarding aspects of the interior fit and finish, but I'm traveling on business (thankfully with the MM!) and won't be able to post photos until Memorial Day weekend. Overall, I'm very impressed with the powertrain and exterior fit and finish. Also, I wanted to thank the members of this forum for helping me make my decision with both eyes focused, instead of cross-eyed and slobbering at the mere sight of such a magnificent automobile. Keep up the good work and I'll get some pictures up ASAP.

PS You all have probably seen the articles on edmunds.com, but I think their reviews are the most accurate and fair and were very helpful in my decision.
From one silver MM owner to another, welcome to the family. I've had mine 2 weeks and have 2,500 miles on it. You're going to love it.

Congrats Heavy,enjoy!
Can you bring it down to the Chicken Meet for certain ones of us to drool all over?
I'm still wondering what a silver MM would look like with the grill done in satin silver.
Note to Bill Ford,I'm starting to run out of patience.

Thanks you guys!
Man, I'd love to bring it down to the Chicken Meet as I'm in Downers Grove on business next week. Unfortunately, I'll be returning home to Northern Wisconsin and have already made plans for that weekend. If there's ever another meet somewhere between Chicago and Green Bay I'll try to get out, since I'll be here on contract at least through the summer, doing the weekly commute thing.
Although I love the silver, I thought the black looked really, really cool. However, since I currently own a black F-150 Supercrew (Winter Marauder!) that takes forever to get clean, I swore off black vehicles for now...
UncleLar, your patience will be rewarded. I snagged mine off the lot (Westgate LM in Lombard, IL.) the second I saw it, since all that was holding me back was the black and blue color choices. I think a satin silver grill would look sweet, a bit more upscale, sorta like the Lincolns, and would coordinate nicely with the wheels and chrome trim.
Hmm...

No on the chrome grill,too flashy.I think the MM isn't an in your face car, it's more like a specter or a phantom,like What did I see ,what is that? Satin is more subdued and in keeping with the "tradition" started by the black car.Can someone photoshop one with the stock grill,only in satin silver?
