    Lil help. my gf drove my mark, and now...

    She somehow managed to break the fuel door release button. She did not think to gather any of the pieces other than the plastic top. So I'm missing the spring, and whatever else was in there. At this point, I do not have an easy way to open the fuel door without going into the trunk. Any...

    Center cap options?

    Anything other than factory fit into the center caps for the chrome directionals. If i could find some center caps for under $30 a pop that would be sweet. I would even go with factory ones if i had a reliable source part(F5LC-1A096-BC)i think. I'm not going to bother with Max at 5-star...

    Blackwood's under $20k now....mmmmm

    I've been stalking a few blackwoods for a couple months. Prices are starting to hit under 20k pretty steadily now. This was kind of a hit-or-miss lincoln for some of you, but i find it quite appealing. It's spacious like a towncar, but it's huge like America's Ego. Most have low mileage too...

    The Mark is my daily driver. I do about 15 miles of rush hour a day. My rotors are warped about every 3 months... Midas keeps telling me to go easy on the brakes. Easy on the brakes? this car is heavy, and it needs to stop....

    HVAC air filter? or interior filtering issue?

    My HVAC is blowing all sorts of junk around these days. i am curious if there is some sort of filter or filtering system i could check/modify. I get the lil foam fuzzy's flying out, as well as a fair amount of dust. So something must have degraded in there.
