New 04 MM Member Minnesota

[TraV8]

Well i have been looking at buying a MM for yeas. i graduated for school about a year ago and as soon as i got the money i went out and bought one!
I am from central Minnesota; i drove down to Iowa city last mouth and bought an 04 MM with 80,000 for $11,000. Car was completely stock. #2647 out of 3214.
Like most of everyone on MM.net i had a need for speed and i did some modification:
4.10 gears with ceramic trac loc slip
3500 stall
JTL-CAI
Mid pipes(Cats delete) with Dynomax Mufflers
Tune
Infinity basslink

Thats as far as my wallet let me go so far...
i plan on SC it ASAP!

Still figuring out how to navigate the cite and get a profile built. (newbie)

Welcome.

If you are looking for a local car club, check out Minnesota Ford Enthusiasts.

Lots of fun events and we have a big turnout every year at Car Craft Summer Nationals at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds.

Anybody know how many MM members are in the Metro area? Now that the weather has changed enough to get them out, we should try to get together sometime. I'm in the Western suburbs

June 1 (or thereabouts) @ Apple Ford.

I'm near Hopkins during the day. There's a black up to the northeast of me near the Chinese place on 11th. That you?

Welcome to the Bar!!!

No, that one isn't me.

I'm mostly up in the NW suburbs, but it does get all over the Metro from time to time. It only got out 3-4 times during the winter and isn't really an every day driver, but I do love driving it so now that the roads are fairly clear I tend to find excuses to leave the company truck in the driveway when I can. It's a black 300A, tinted windows, red rear script & factory spoiler, no front plate (lived it's whole life here in MN and never ever had it mounted!) Mostly stock appearing other than that, but has 4.10's and a Lidio tune, the audiophile upgrade, etc. Oh, and really ugly winter wheels & Winterforce tires until this Saturday.

I see a black go through the intersection of Hwy 81 & 101 occaisionally in evening rush hour in the summer. Anybody we know?

Welcome!

I am in the Cities, live in the western suburbs, work over in Mounds View. Mine has been a daily driver here all it's life.

I still have my snow tires on :help:

[TraV8]

I am up in the northern suburbs by Coon Rapids and Anoka. I know of a guy in Andover selling a 300A with less than 50,000 miles Supper Clean! Its not for sale on the internet or anything... if anyone is interested.

Welcome to the show!!!!!!

[clmrt]

We should use the TC board here a little more often, sounds like there're quite a few of us.

[crouse]

Agreed. It's been a long time since anyone posted there. Must the the winters here in Minnesota.

[MM in MN]

Thanks for the heads up on the show. I marked it on my calendar & will try to make that happen. It looks like there are at least 5 of us from the Metro that jumped in on this thread, and at least a couple of unidentified cars out there as well. We should meet for a burger & a beer some nice evening.
I heard rumors from a friend of mine in a local Ford club that they have someone who autocrosses a Marauder...from the looks of the mods on yours, could that be you?

[jdando]

I have autcrossed mine a few times. Curt has auto-x his also.
