I drove my first Lincoln today.

If you get a chance, grab a pic for me

What was for sale next to it?

One of my favorites

One of mine too, Anthony.

When I was just finishing HS you had to be king S*&t to have one of those, cost big bucks back then too. I knew of a guy who had 3 brand new in all the special edition colors. I wanted one so bad. Never got it .I m going to get one one of these days. I need more garage.

My mom's friend here, knows a fellow Lincoln collector, who has a 1998 Mark VIII Collectors Edition with 9 miles. N-I-N-E. Nine miles.

Thats just depressing to see. Imagine how many other vintage cars are in the same or worse condition.

Unfortunately, I don't have to imagine. I've seen countless cars pop up recently on CL that were damaged in the tornado. Driving through Joplin is even worse. I just started a thread about the damage.

thats insane...speaking of the mark, did you see the new car craft article on the modular motor equipped ones this month?

I don't get that.

If it's not in Hemmings Classic Car, I ain't seeing it.
