My new daily driver to lessen the load on the Mustang so that I can do the work to it that I have been putting off for so long. . .


A 2004 Silver Birch Mercury Marauder.

i love those cars. i knew a guy that was a shop foreman at a mercury dealer and got one of the first ones in town. i rode in it with him after he put some 4.10s in it. that car would haul ass for a big car.
 
mmmmmmmm i want one so bad... just black
No doubt, the black just looks mean. Actually rather Badass. But for DD duties, the silver is way easier to keep looking clean.

nice car, what'd that set you back?
We'll call it $15K before tax, title, and registration.

Man those cars are badass! I'd love to have one. How's the gas mileage on one of those? Is it any better than a mustang? I would think worse if its the same motor inside a much heavier car...
Um, it's supposed to be low to mid 20's on the highway, better with a tune. My Mustang was regularly getting me 25-26 mpg mostly highway. I'd be satisfied if it got me 25 mpg if I take it easy.

BTW, this is my first tank of gas in the car. No telling how bad the mileage will be while I'm still learning the car's limitations. :D

how dare you!? :rlaugh: :D
