Hi all,

I'm a soon-to-be MM owner and new to the forum. Picking up my 2003 MM (black) on Saturday. She's a beauty with only 32K miles.

First car was a 1966 Mustang and have had 30 or so cars since. Mostly a Ford/Lincoln/Mercury man (courtesy of the awesome training I got from my father). Also have a 2004 F150 FX4 Supercrew and a 2004 Lincoln Town Car in my stable.

Was looking for my MM for over two years and finally found the right one. She's bone stock - for now - but the mods will be coming soon. Probably start with CAI and tuner. Then exhaust changes and maybe an S/C in a year or two.

Glad to be here and looking forward to learning about the car and getting to know everyone. Will post pics soon - can't wait to get her on Saturday. :beer:

WELCOME! I'm in the Capital Area for another 4 months. Maybe once the weather gets warmer we can get a Central/Upstate MM meet together. It gets pretty lonely not seeing any MMs around.

Good choice! :beer:

Thanks everybody. Mods will be forthcoming and I'll keep y'all posted. I have an 04 F150 FX4 that I've been messing with a little for the last few years. Been a member at f150online since 03 and I really enjoy it there. I'm getting the same feeling about this place - lotsa good folks with tons of good info.

Addiction - I need one of those like I need another hole in my head. Of course, I was thinking about putting a S/C in my F150. Me thinks the Marauder is a better candidate for the S/C!!! :banana:

I'm up for attending a meet, knocking back a few beers and telling some lies!!!

I'm also getting very impatient waiting for Saturday! I feel like a 7 year old on Christmas morning. Thanks again everyone. Cheers!!! :beer:

Once again, Welcome!

So I picked her up today and drove ~100 miles home with a huge $h!t-eating grin on my face the whole way! She's awesome. Will post a few pics in the next few days.

I'm officially ADDICTED!!!

Here are a few pics I skimmed from the dealer's website. I haven't taken any of my own, except a few on my phone.

Tint and stereo swap may be first up, then a CAI and tuner in the spring.

welcome man. Congrats on your upcoming purchase. I live around Albany and would like to see another mm on the road once spring hits that is.

410 gears along with the tune is a must.

camel - driving the F150 or the Town Car in bad weather. The MM won't be out when it's bad. Will have to read up about MMs and consider the gears...
