Thank you mercurymaruader.net!

When my 1995 SHO started surrendering to the woes of age and mileage, I wasn't sure what to buy. If it weren't for mm.net, I shudder to think of what I might have settled for!

MM.net taught me how misleading Car & Driver's reveiw was, and also how the cars need a few miles to loosen up. I had test driven a 60-mile car in the spring of '03, but it seemed more image than ooomph.

After reading some posts here though I began to see the light. Learning what Dennis could do made the light brighter.

Words of wisdom & help from (among others) BigDogJim, RoyalPita, & Cruztaker... as well as the heads up about the blue car on e-bay from Jettle, Marauderman, et. al made the pursuit & purchase even easier.

Within a week of posting my interest in a blue MM here, I had half a dozen great cars to consider... all courtesy of this community.

I considered a Lincoln LS, but the lack of hi-po parts, particularly for the manual-tranny cars, dampened my enthusiasm. Comparing the owner/driver input from the MM site cinched the decision.

I thank all of you for your help, and commend you on the service you're providing each other. MM.net helps connect buyers & sellers, and everybody gets a better deal.

I never dreamed I'd buy a car because of a web-site, but MM.net won me over... and three days into ownership I couldn't be happier.

Now how do I update that signature hickey?

Welcome and Congrats! I'm glad the membership was helpful. I think the signature is in the preferences area. Not too difficult to work through. Have fun with the new ride!

Is your scale model blue? Where'd you get it?

Tough to squeeze the real one into bed.

Thanks!

gpfarrell,

My daughter had a blue one custom made for me for Christmas 2003 along with a display case. My son ordered a black MM model for himself and his display case. Will have to get back to you on where it was done but I know they were browsing around the web looking for them.

Alrighty then!!!


Glad to hear you are happy with your purchase. I assume the blue came through for you? Tough find these days. Now stay in touch, and don't be afraid to ask more questions.

To create a sig: Click on 'preferences' which is in the center top line menu on every page. Then look to the top left of this next page in the 'control panel area'-'settings and options' and choose 'edit sig'. Goof with different sizes and fonts and centering and colors, and preview it a few times till you get it right. Change it any time you like. Good luck.
