Had to do it. Reply #30 – November 09, 2010, 09:48:50 PM Go buy a car cover so you can protect that paint from the elements as much as possible. I've driven about 3 or 4 Crown Vics in the past few years and they are terrible about the paint peeling. Of course these have been patrol cars that have the shiznit driven out of them but still I would have thought their paint would have held up better. Quote Selected
Had to do it. Reply #31 – November 10, 2010, 12:15:38 AM Quote from: 20thanniver-ls;341092I don't think so. I've always driven Fords/Mercury's (and now a Lincoln :D ). I have only had 3 other makes besides theose. 1 GM car, a 1994 Grand Prix GTP and it was a piece of trash. Never again will I own one. 1 '92 Toyota Camry 5 speed which was actually a good car for it's purpose. And My truck, a '96 Dodge Ram, which I still have, but long for an 80's F-150. My point is, if you find a car/car brand you like and has done you right, why look elsewhere?all 3 you named are in my opinion.. i'd never consider any of the 3 lol Quote Selected

Had to do it. Reply #33 – November 10, 2010, 11:30:22 PM Wow! Looks real swell, and that new car smell can't be beat. Knowing you, I bet you already have every accessory item associated with the car already on order so it can be neatly displayed in the trunk at the next car show!The car cover is not a bad idea, unless the new baby is pushing out the Cat's from the garage?

Had to do it. Reply #35 – November 11, 2010, 09:15:05 PM Quote from: Royce 67/87/97;340359I had been considering it for some time. Found out a few months ago that there were going to be "2011" models for sure. This made me think I had PLENTY of time to just keep considering it....then a few weeks ago I read an article (that was already about a week old) that the last Merc (for retail order anyway) had gone down the assembly line. That plus the well-timed mailing from Ford of a $1000 voucher made me run to my local dealer the next day!It was too late to "order" one. We had to search dealer inventory for my particular color combo/options. Had to match my Cougars' colors! And had to have ALL FIVE (!) options available. (More on that later. :D ) OK, so the OCD tendencies in me would be having that thing preserved because of all that you just said. Save all the newspaper articles, window stickers, etc. Nice car and congrats. Looking forward to the pictures with your Cougars. Quote Selected

Nobody has asked the most important questions.Plain old 2V 4.6L that's been around for awhile. First used in the 1990 Town Car if my research is correct. Been used in the Grand Marquis since '92. Pretty much the same engine as in my '97 Cougar. This new one is "Flex-Fuel Capable" however. Don't have any stations selling E-85 anywhere near me. May try it out some time, though, just to see.Quote from: FLSTCI71;341165Sharp car!! I really like those interior/exterior colors together. You have done well. :-)Thank you, sir.

Looking forward to the pictures with your Cougars.I am kinda like you, except I try to keep it under control at least a little bit! I've decided to drive it and enjoy it...and of course take care of it exceptionally well to the best of my ability along the way! Quote Selected

I found them through a link on Ford's website, actually. I pretty much got one of everything they had with "Mercury" on it. Figure they probably won't keep much of anything with that name on it in their store soon. Quote Selected
