and for discounted parts like grills, full size spares, spoiler's etc!?!

[mad man]

and for discounted parts like grills, full size spares, spoiler's etc!?!I am there. :D Steve did you get your spoiler yet.

[stevengerard]

I am there. :D Steve did you get your spoiler yet.


Yep, just haven't had time to have them install it, when they do I may have them take off the rear deck badge as well. They also need to replace part of the interior trim, and the headliner was delivered loose - so they plan on fixing that. Hopefully I'll get up there this week. How about you, everything done on your car?

I did not respond to this thinking I'd be out of town...trip is cancelled, can I still drop by? :confused:

[stevengerard]

Whay couldn't you all come by. I think they just want to judge how much food, I rather eat nothing than have a few members feel like they can't come by. Come one come all. If I'm wrong blame it on me.

[Slowpoke]

Today I met a local owner who has had the car as long as me but never been to a meet - Mike - if you are out there, come on down to this event. He AND his dad each have a MM !!

[jrzygrl]

Never mind I found the directions. Seems the address is 5310 North Milwaukee, not 5301 North Milwaukkee. :bigcry:

[mad man]

[Slowpoke]

Sorry to have left so soon - seems like all I had time for was to install my gas and brake pedal covers; have a soda, then leave.

But by the time you are reading this, my wfe is at a wedding shower for my cousin and I am hot-rodding around Navy Pier with the baby and the stroller.

The location was nice - didn't get a chance to thanks the suits at Prestige for letting us hang out and for the sodas and food. And a special thanks for the MM water bottle!

When is the next neet?

[Lou]

It was great to meet everyone today. I got some great ideas on what to do with my new 04MM and am hunting for my credit card right now. My thanks to the folks at Prestige for the water bottles and luch.

[UAW 588]

It was nice to see a few old faces today and some new ones too. As always I had a blast. A shout of thanks goes out to :bows: Mad Man and Prestige L/M, for setting up this meet/show for us today. We even got freebies; free lunch, free Mercury Marauder water bottles, and I even received my very own farmers tan to go with. It was nice that alot of folks showed up with their cars. I especially like the one Marauder that showed up with all the major BLING-BLING on his grille. Hats off to you sir. :eek: Can't wait to see the pics posted.

[Big Joe P]

It was a good meet yesterday. Thanks to Prestige LM for being good hosts. I hope we didn't disrupt the neighborhood too much, lots of burn-outs. I think one of the owners is in traction after the ride he took in Zack's car. How about the 1957 Turnpike Cruiser that was there..... nice car. It was good to see the new marauder sill plates from dynopro on a couple cars, I think I'll have to order a set. And last but not least, thanks to SGT MAC for the scratches in my front fender, between us, this is the last time I'll mention it.....
