    Rough idle gone

    Ever since I've had my car, the idle has felt a little rough. Not horrible or anything I seriously worried about, it just felt rougher than I'd expect from a Lincoln. This weekend my battery went kaput (it was the factory battery so after 6 years and 72,000 miles it was due :) ). I replaced...

    One year with my Mark!

    So today is the one year anniversary of the purchase of my '98 Mark VIII LSC. Bought it with 51,126 miles on the clock, right now it's showing 69,840. So that's 18,714 miles in one year :) Truthfully, I don't know how you guys with low-mileage Marks do it. I leave mine in the driveway over...

    Lincoln more reliable than Honda

    http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=564&ncid=564&e=3&u=/nm/20030708/ts_nm/autos_durability_dc_1 Looks down the page about half way: "Ford Motor Co.'s Lincoln brand scored just above Honda..." But wait there's more: "...Chrysler, Dodge and the now-defunct Plymouth brand all...

    If Lincoln made a new LSC, would you buy one?

    I was idly pondering the future of Lincoln's product line today, and I was thinking how cool it'd be if they made a new Luxury Sport Coupe (like I'm sure we've all done), be it the Mark IX or a 2-door LS V8 or whatever. As long as it's a V8 RWD coupe. While it'd be undeniably cool, the bigger...

    Check this out! Gran Turismo 4 car list...

    Out of the 700-something cars in the game, there are three Lincolns (I'm actually astonished there are any at all): Lincoln LS Lincoln Mk VII Lincoln MK9 Coupe Concept '01 I'm impressed, there are a lot of old muscle cars in that list. And, of course, a bunch of crap to please the ricer...

    WFC6 car show pics (dial-up warning)

    WFC was a blast as always! This year the car show featured almost 400 cars. Here's just a few that I found interesting (sorry if some of the pics seem a little fuzzy or washed out, my digital camcorder doesn't take the best stills): '67 GTA (w/390 ci engine)...

    2003 Cobra IRS in a Mark VIII?

    There are a couple of local guys that are converting their '03 Cobras over to solid axle, and they're selling the complete IRS rear-end setup. I doubt I'll be buying, but it got me thinking. Does anyone know how much of the Cobra IRS will bolt in to a Mark (how hard of a swap)? [font color =...

    My Mark is gone...for a couple of days

    I dropped off my Mark this morning at the dealer to have some paint work done on the front bumper. They said it'll probably take three days, so until then I'm stuck with a rental. It's a 2003 Jetta. It's "nice" because it's pretty new, but I'm once again reminded why I don't like 4-cylinders or...

    Factory ride height

    I remember the numbers were 24.5" in front and 24.25" in the back, +/-0.25", measured from the top of the wheel well lip to the bottom of the rim (not the ground). I think (not sure) this is done with the suspension aired-down in "park mode." [font color = blue]Tony - St. Louis, MO[/font] 1998...

    I'm here with a new name

    Just a quick hello to all, and a note that I have a new name. Formerly "MO Stang" (and still so on some other message boards), now I'm simply "TM" (my initials). I wanted to pick a new name because I may be *gasp* getting rid of my Mustang and putting the money into my Mark. I kept my avatar...
