My new daily driver to lessen the load on the Mustang so that I can do the work to it that I have been putting off for so long. . .


A 2004 Silver Birch Mercury Marauder.

Get some DARKASS tint. You'll scare the crap outta people, no one will get in your way. Oh and a spotlight, LMFAO.

I have one of those lights that goes through the a-pillar. I got it off an old cop car my buddies bought and parted.

Glad that everyone likes it.

I think I can do without the spotlight. Dark tint would be cool, but I'll have to think about it.

Man those cars are badass! I'd love to have one. How's the gas mileage on one of those? Is it any better than a mustang? I would think worse if its the same motor inside a much heavier car...

No doubt, the black just looks mean. Actually rather Badass. But for DD duties, the silver is way easier to keep looking clean.

We'll call it $15K before tax, title, and registration.

Um, it's supposed to be low to mid 20's on the highway, better with a tune. My Mustang was regularly getting me 25-26 mpg mostly highway. I'd be satisfied if it got me 25 mpg if I take it easy.

BTW, this is my first tank of gas in the car. No telling how bad the mileage will be while I'm still learning the car's limitations.
