    Another one bites the dust...

    Saturday, a woman driving a U-Haul blew through a stop light and totaled my pristine '03MM. I had only reached 70,000 miles a few weeks ago. The insurance adjuster said he'd never seen a 15 year old car in such great shape. It's a sad day.

    O so sorry to hear that.

    I had to drive mine today, and it dumped rain. I was hoping no one would slip/slide into me or me into them. I don’t want to be in your shoes.

    Oh I feel your pain. Hopefully you are fine physically. Insurance is a consolation. Take care.

    I'm sorry to hear this.
    (#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.

    I hope you had collector insurance on the MM. Standard insurance will give you nothing.
    I have Hagerty on my 04 Silver Birch. It stays in a garage when not going to a car event, and only special car events. A great car is like a fine wine.. an investment.
