Hi everyone. I bought my MM new in 2004, the same month I retired. I live in Raleigh, NC and enjoy my MM very much. It's a great road car and has a trunk the size of a greyhound bus. There's no end to how much you can pack in there.
Although I like to go fast on the open roads, I have not made any changes to my MM other than new tires. It still runs great but is showing signs of its age, coming up on 10 years now with almost 80K miles on it:)

Welcome to the site and enjoy all of the information and camaraderie that is associated with it!
On a side note, since all of your cars are aging gracefully, do they go from being a "Panther" platform to being a "Cougar" platform...:D

Welcome "Retired Old Dude"
Before I retired while sitting in my GE service van outside a ritzy downtown Chicago condo, listening to Katy Perry's Last Friday Nite
The doorman comes out to tell me to turn it down (thinking it was the local youngsters) looked at me and says "Oh its just the Old Dude"...
