    I changed out my Granatelli coil packs, all of them. They failed for the 4th time. Well, two failed, so they all had to go. I am done with that company. This set at least lasted for two years, unlike the first three sets from them. I'm back to Motorcraft. I'll take reliable over fancy.

    The connectors are great, the coils are terrible. I never heard anything good about them.

    I took pictures of the car with Danny (Marauder) and then did the obligatory burnout video with pics.

    Finally got to put the HIDs back in after my accident a few months ago... reused the old harness, but with new ballasts/bulbs. Found out they reused my original headlights in the accident, one of them had the hold down ring cracked... Gotta take it back apart now when I get one. On the bright side (no pun intended), reusing the headlights meant I didn't have to readjust them.

    Drove it to work, passed the Program Manager like he was sitting still in his white '06 Mustang. Looked like a sack of flour parked in the slow lane, I even rapped the the throttle when we went by so there would be no doubt who just handed him is ass. Probably choked on his breffas buscuit, lol.

    Started off to work, blew out a back tire, threw the spare on, drove it back home.

    Fixed my keypad with one off of a 2002 Explorer.
    (#6178 in black per FPIC)
    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    Rest In Peace:

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.
