I see you liked your MM so much that you got rid of it.
THE MARAUDER'S GONE? :eek:
OMG! The last time I looked, it was safely parked in the Morton Building along with the fleet of old Mustangs.
I had stated that unless and until the gas pedal issue was resolved, due to safety concerns, the MM would not be driven, by me...and has not. It's on the block, because, frankly, I don't need it, since my poor knee has been fixed, and I couldn't drive my beloved F-150 for those two years.
Upon returning from Camp this week, the gas pedal "fix" kit from Marauderman was waiting, and will be installed today. I've been asked to evaluate the gas pedal mod, and will do so, privately, with Tom, at which time he can post those data at a time of his choosing.
Depending upon Tom's success at resolving the pedal issue, the Silver Birch may simply become another one of our growing fleet of garage queens, unless someone buys it. (It's been re-posted at a lower price)
I agree with Darryl that Ford's offerings, save the Mustang, leave me cold, and it seems, the only action, at present, is at Chrysler. Except for the Mustang Shelby GT-500 I don't see a single vehicle in the Ford corporate lineup that I'd buy. (lots of luck hooking up with one of those) When I'm faced with the dilemma of replacing my beloved '02 F-150, I'll most likely have to consider GM or Chrysler, because the new style trucks from Ford provide nothing satisfying my wants.
After what we saw from Chrysler at the Washington Car show, I'll predict there's going to be a long line of folks clamoring for those luscious Challengers.
With respect to Ford's new green pathway, I'll observe what our friends in the Argo-business knew all along .....that green stuff gets plowed under in springtime. ;)
