    MKZ questions for you folks

    Looking at the interior in pictures of a 2014 MKZ, I cannot tell so I thought I'd ask owners: as a 6'00" driver, I like my legs mostly extended when I drive but typically the steering wheel is too far away when I move the seat back to achieve the leg position I want. So this leads me to my...

    Dodge Charger

    Anyone here have any experience or own one of the 2012-present Dodge Chargers? I've been considering one. I love the Grand marquis, but once again, I am bored....it's a problem I have - I buy a lot of cars because after a year or two, I want something else. I wont lease a car because I...

    Thinking about MKZ

    Few questions: 2.0 or V6? Do they all have the ambient lighting? How is the driver's seat for ergonomics? I like the rake of the mark VIII seat position and was curious of the MKZ seat rake with regards to pedal position (6'00'" tall, and prefer extended leg seating rather than that feeling of...

    Photobucket?

    None of my images are working on the forums. I visited Photobucket's site and from what I understand, they no longer offer free 3rd party hosting. They want $300/yr anyone else find their images locked?

    So long to my 98 LSC

    Today Clif Topper (heybob) is making his way up from the Yosemite area by train and bus to take over the reins of my 98 LSC. So with the fact that it was sitting for a couple weeks due to the oil filter housing leak(fixed!) and my new car coming home, it was a bit dirty from the recent rains...

    New tires 245/45ZR18

    My 98 LSC came with Michelin Pilot sport A/S tires....they were ok...smooth, lasted a long time but are pricey! Even when worn BEYOND the wear bars, they were smooth as silk, and quiet. it was time for some new ones. I am a service manager at an auto repair shop. I decided to try some Ironman...

    interior lights go off

    so, against my own best notion, I tore in to my dash again to research some blend door issues. Now, after re-assembly, when I turn my headlights on, the instrument/interior switch lights go off after a couple minutes of driving. Not sure if it happens over a bump, or based on time. If I roll...

    a Christmas tradition

    Dec 2003 I posted this. I was a new Mark VIII owner, a newbie here, and was full of excitement about these cars. Many years have passed, and I am still here, as are many of you. Welcome, to the new folks, welcome back to the veterans, and a great many THANKS to all who contribute. And now the...

    Strange HVAC issue onmy 98

    I bought it and the seller fully disclosed "the blend door is broken" Yesterday I decided to just open the top of the dash(remove message center screen) so I could see the broken blend door actuator. To my surprise, it is NOT broken, the arm is intact and the motor works as it should. The metal...

    production questions:

    I know there is some production data on another forum that discusses the final production of the Mark VIII included CE's and SF cars. Sandy had provided most of that info through the years. I have a 98 LSC that was built in May 1998 and was wondering if anyone has info regarding the last "non...

    New Exhaust on my 98 LSC

    I bought it, and it had the mufflers already cut off and straight piped with stock tips. Sounded ok at 2000 rpms but when wailing above 3000 it sounded horrid. Plus the neighbors hated my 6:00am start-up. So, I took it to my local exhaust shop and went with the Magnaflow Magna-packs, rather than...
