BlackPano Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 So if you guys haven't noticed yet, I am here to blow up these forums! Haha. I come from mustang, subaru, and golf (the sport...not the crappy car*) forums that were extremely active. I enjoy contributing and learning from others experiences. So, now to the point of this topic... I just purchased a Certified 2013 mkZ from Michigan through my local Lincoln dealer, so I am very excited for it to come in next week (the sooner the better!) Here is the run down: Tuxedo Black w/ charcoal black interior 3.7L AWD model w/ Preferred Package and Tech Package (wayyy more goodies than I need) Panoramic Roof (yes!) 19" grey wheels (sexy) 34,xxx miles Pictures to come once the deal is final and the car is in the driveway. I am sure the questions about this and that will begin shortly after haha. First one, do any of you guys run full synthetic? *just picking on the VW Golf, they are not a "crappy" car, just not my cup of tea.

BlackPano Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 The car shipped in earlier than expected. Drove out to see it tonight. Looks very clean, was already inspected and certified. Took it for a drive, love it! Very excited to officially get the keys and start driving it. robertlane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeBrown Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I wish you the best of luck with the car. I'm sure you'll just love driving and being seen in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackPano Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 Thank you. I should get quite a few people talking to me about it since there really aren't any around. I always enjoyed that with some of my old cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackPano Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 Just waiting on the title at this point. I just did the diy epoxy garage floor paint with metal flakes tonight. When I bring it home and detail it, its going to have a proper place to park! My wife is going to question the amount of time I will now be spending in the garage haha.

BlackPano Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 You guys have been great thus far, I appreciate it. My dad works at the Lincoln dealer (bought from him) so if you guys ever have questions you'd like to ask a long time Lincoln salesman, let me know!

BlackPano Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Looks great! Congrats :congrats: Do you make it out to the Ford event in Carlisle, PA? Thanks! Super excited to get this thing back to the house and detailed. Yes, I was out there this year. Great group of cars. Spent a decent bit of time drooling over the Ford GTs but there are usually some obscure mercury and lincoln products there as well that I really enjoyed. My Dad drove his (original) 63.5 Marauder over. I love that car because it is not seen very often vs. the hundreds upon thousands of mustangs that were there. We did make it up your way one time when he had his 66 Fairlane. The Fairlane club had a show in Dearborn to celebrate the Thunderbolt (http://www.hotrod.com/cars/featured/hrdp-0911-ford-thunderbolt-reunion/) Have you ever gone to one of the Ford events in Carlisle?

BlackPano Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 I brought it home tonight! Very excited. I immediately washed and dried it and put it in the garage. Then some jet black spray on detailer, washed the windows, cleaned the wheels, engine bay, and air filter. It's in better shape than I could have possibly hoped for. Already loving it.

BlackPano Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 Congrats and good luck. Enjoy it. Thanks. Going to have a couple days of just cleaning it up and looking at it in the garage since I am having the driveway resealed. :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeBrown Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Good luck with it and I hope you enjoy driving your's as much as I do mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackPano Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 Good luck with it and I hope you enjoy driving your's as much as I do mine. Thanks, I am sure I will. I haven't had a chance to really open it up much. In normal driving on the way back from the dealership I was getting ~24mpg with some stop signs and lights along the way. So if I mix in some spirited driving and get ~20 while enjoying it and looking good...I'll take that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
