    Marauderless...<sigh>

    Had the pleasure of meeting Meteorite when he flew in to buy my Blue. Sad to see it go but happy it went to someone who loves these cars. Nothing in the world like a MM.
    Now he SAID he was getting the car for his wife but when he sat inside it and switched on the Bun Warmers (his 02, not equipped) then I think he changed his mind...

    Now I do belong to the Newport Harbor (RI) Yachtless Club so I am supposing I will hang around here a bit. Look, it's either that or start the MercuryMarauderless.net club...

    "Next time, buy a Black on... you won't want to sell it like the the bastard stepchild blues......"

    Now that is funny.

    I look at it as I just put it out for adoption...

    Ya think I wanted to sell it? Ummmmm...no. I had to think of the child...er....I mean car. What is best for the car?

    I am glad, if only for one reason: All that purple trim would not have matched the blue paint very well!

    It was a great pleasure to meet you, too! The car drove "like a champ" all the way back to Detroit. Can't wait to put the shiny wheels on it.
