The so called "experts" at Crutchfield and Best Buy are telling me that there is no head unit that will fit my 96 MarkVIII. I know that can't be true from what I've read here. Are there any that will plug in using the factory wiring harness, or will I have to cut and splice? Any help will be...

System: Factory JBL in a 96 Mark VIII Symptoms: CD player works fine for 3-5 minutes when first turned on, then it "pauses" for 5-10 seconds every 30 seconds or so. Each time play is resumed it picks up where it ended, so no skips; it just pauses. Any ideas on possible causes, fixes? I know...

I just wanted to let members in San Antonio and nearby know about a speed shop that has a decent labor rate ($60 per hour) for those things you don't want to do or don't have the equipment to do. They specialize in Mustangs, Cobra's in particular, but they were falling all over my Mark, the...

Pauly is a five year old Yellow Headed Amazon. Tame, talking, and just an all around good bird. Unfortunately, I have asthma that is worsening, and I can no longer be around him without having problems breathing. I don't want to sell him, I can't sell a friend, but I do have to find a good...

I want to know whats going on? The dates are all screwed up, nothing is in date order. Or, did I change a setting that I shouldn't have and didn't notice it? I just figured it out; opens eyes----everything is in alpha order by subject title.

I have a set of Lacy (aka Snowflake) rims for sale. They are in good serviceable condition without blemishes. Make me a reasonable offer and I will deliver for free anywhere in Texas.

Here's the scoop on Michelin's latest. They're calling the "Hydroedge" their premier passenger car tire. It is designed to deliver optimized performance in any condition. Excerpts from the brochure are: Sporty directional tread pattern; quiet ride; top marks in rain, freezing, sweltering...

As I drove away from Norm's home I actually felt bad about buying his car. I've never seen a grown man with such a sad expression on his face. Of course that feeling lasted long enough to turn the corner. Seriously, I know what it's like to loose a Mark that you love. I bought my first one new...

Hello All, Today was my lucky day. As you may know Norm Wagner (redn8) WAS selling his Mark VIII. It is now sold and will be coming to live in San Antonio. Tentatively plan to name her RubyIII, have to talk with her about it on the way home. I knew if I was patient the right one would come...

Hello Distinctive Lincoln People, I'm in the process of restyling/modifying the new 03 Gran Marquis that I bought. Here are just two of the websites where I've bought things. Thought I would pass along. At www.karkraft.com I got a set of Rousch wheels, 18X9 for the rear and 18X8 for the...

I recently purchased a new Merc Gran Marquis that has a Watts Suspension. Does anyone have any info on this? Thanks Lee

The subject line sounds like the title to a country song, and I'm just getting to the point that I don't want to cry in my Crown Royal, or scream and break something. A few weeks ago I was broad-sided by a utility truck, spent a few days in the hospital because my cardiac enzymes were...

When I awoke Sunday morning and saw how cold, wet, and windy it was, I chose to hang out with my daughter, have breakfast and a stay warm. I wanted to go out and say good bye to all the great people I had met, but I just can't handle the cold because of my back. I really enjoyed meeting...

To support the theory that you learn something new every day, I submit the following. I knew when I bought my chip that the thermostat should be changed to fully appreciate the chips potential. I just didn't know how important it is. I put off changing the thermostat until yesterday. I...
