I just saw the email about this and felt compelled to respond. I haven't posted here in a long time, but I remember what a great place this was and probably still is and how close you feel w/ certain posters on here. It's always tough to lose friends, whether you knew them in person or not...

OMG, sorry to bring this back up, but I rarely stop by here anymore. I saw the thread for donations for Kale at the top and scrolled down to find this. So terrible. :( I never spoke to Kale personally, but I know what a huge part he had in this site, so I feel a connection with him and all...

Quote Hi. You are not required to own a Lincoln to post here. An addiction to Lincolns is sufficient.AlexanderBoard of Directors Lincolns of Distinction I know. Every time I see a Mark VIII, my heart drops a little knowing that I once owned one of those beauties. Maybe one day I'll get...

Hey everyone, long time no see. Just stopping in. I miss my Lincoln, but am happy with the Volvo S80, it's a nice car. I miss posting in the forums, but have been really busy lately, either working, or playing poker (yeah, I'm a poker addict now....needed something to take place of the Lincoln...

Anytime I have a chance to compliment someone on their Mark, I will. I already miss mine a little bit. Even though I am very happy with my "new" car, it definately doesn't have that "distinctive" look of a Mark. Lincoln had the right idea when they made the Mark VIII. It's not a perfect car...

Quote I don't trust the LS. I know one person that has one, and the motor blew up shortly after 100k. And it's an adult lady, so i know she wasn't hot-rodding it, and she's married, so it got some form of maintenance. Yeah, I just heard too many horror stories about the LS. I've asked...

Quote Man, you should have went with the LS. It looks so much better (though not near as good as the Mark VIII). But good luck with your 'new' car. I shied away from the LS because it was more expensive, and I was more concerned with it not being a reliable car/repair costs. I agree that...

Quote Ok, so remind me, what was wrong with your car?http://www.lincolnsclub.org/forum/images/loveit.gif -JLOD - New England Member--> www.ivotedblue.com www.airamericaradio.com--> www.bradleyreport.net www.npr.org Failed inspection due to front suspension issues (ball joints and tie rods)...

Quote Congrats!!!What did you do with the MK anyway? http://www.lincolnsclub.org/forum/images/loveit.gif -JLOD - New England Member--> www.ivotedblue.com www.airamericaradio.com--> www.bradleyreport.net www.npr.org Surprisingly, I have someone who wants to buy it and fix it up. I mean, the...

Quote Nice, good luck with it. And it is a Ford ;) Thanks. I may be misinformed, but didn't Ford take over Volvo in 2002?

This car is very different from the Mark in a lot of ways, but it has awesome power (twin-turbo inline V6), all of the options that my car had, VERY smooth ride, good looks, awesome stereo, headlights that allow me to see in the dark, a TON of room, etc. The only downsides are FWD and 4-door...

I really wanted to get another Mark VIII more than anything, but I need financing, and nobody wants to finance me for a car that's 9 years old. I think it has to do with my credit and the age of the car. I have a couple unresolved issues w/ my credit, so a personal loan right now probably...

Hey guys, thanks for the responses. Anyone in Florida? I'll basically pay up to 10K, but if people are asking a couple K more, that's probably negotiable. I just definately want something with under 50 K miles.

I've run into a problem. There isn't very much inventory what-so-ever where I've been looking, autotrader, etc. Also, I'm pretty picky about the colors on the second gens. I think certain colors accentuate the plankton filtering appearance of the front gills...er grills. ;) What colors do...

As many of you know, I am in the market for a new (newer) car. I won't go into the WHOLE story for those who don't know it, but I (finally) decided against an LS, and for a 97/98 Mark VIII. This is mostly due to monetary constraints. I am already far enough in debt that for me to go another...
