Hey there everybody, been too long since I've dropped by... Well I've dropped by but never really gotten around to posting. Well the car and I are back in Toronto and sadly she's wearing plates front and rear now. I liked the clean front end but what'cha gonna do... I've put about 16k miles on her since I got it and she only let me down once. Fuel pump went a couple weeks before Christmas. Oh well, bound to happen sooner or later. Cost a couple of bucks to get that fixed. Needed the car back in a hurry so ended up paying for someone else to do it. Other than that just plugs, filter & coil boots. Those boots made a difference. Didn't notice much of a difference on mileage but the motor smoothed right out. My foot is probably mostly to blame for the mileage though...
Gotta say, I really like this car! I haven't enjoyed owning a car this much since my old Trans-Am. I love the way it drives, rides and handles. Looking at her puts a smile on my face She'll zip a corner pretty decently with the 18's on and still glide down the highway at 80mph in perfect comfort. If you've never taken a long trip with your Mark, I strongly advise it. You don't know what your missing! I drove the car cross country to get it home. My first "day" took me from Calgary to Marathon Ont. We spent 27 hrs. on the move before I called it quits. The next day she got me into Toronto in a shade under 12hrs. We made some pretty decent time I'd say. For round figures that trip is about 3500 kilometers. Only hiccup was the speedo decided to get a little sticky somewhere in I think it was Saskatchewan. Parked a lil while later to get a bite to eat and it was fine after that. I can't think of to many cars that I would be willing to do a marathon like that in but I'd do it again in the Mark in a heartbeat. Since she's been home I've had a chance to do some reno's on the stero too.
That's a Kenwood dnx6980, a pair of Memphis audio big Belles and a pair of IDMax 12d2v3's. Still just running the 4 pioneer 6x8's in the front but that will be changing soon enough. Like when it's warmer...And yes it's loud

And this is just a shot I like from the day I left Calgary...
