Sweet. Just ordered it!

Thanks for the tips! I love this place! I'll pass the info onto my friend!

I got an 01 Grand Marquis because it only had 30,000 miles on it and I was looking to replace my 92 S-ER anyway. As many have said, I got it at a great price but it took me a loooooooong time to adjust. I went from a sub-compact stick shift to a huge V8 rear-driver. Worlds of difference! It...

OK, so lets say I have a friend who has a car in the garage and doesn't get it out on the road as often as he should. What's the best way to keep a battery from draining over time? Its been suggested that a trickle charger might be a good idea, and it has also been suggested to me that the...

I always replaced on a yearly basis, every fall. Now I look at them and if they look good as they often do then I run them longer!

I got a set of their winter I-Pike for my Mercury this winter. Very nice tires all around. Good price, quiet, fine on dry roads too. No regrets.

OK, I just wanted to update this post - I got the Raggtop products recommended above. The cleaner worked very well, and the protectant really did a nice job bringing out the color of the vinyl without making it all 'Armor All' shiny. Its been cold so I have not been able to apply it recently...

I'm using the PP 5-20 in my Grandpa Marquis. So far, so good!

Snowtire Update - I cant believe it was August I was researching Snow Tires! Anyway, I ended up getting the Hankook I-Pike from DTD online. with the free shipping I thought it was a better deal. So, they got mounted on the X cop car steelies and I put swapped them in November. Needless to say...

Thanks all! I'm currently hunting down a set of steelies, and it seems the General Altimax I can get on TireRack for about $70 (plus shipping, mount, balance etc) but then I'm done and should have fewer worries over the next 5 seasons or so.

Sorry to bother you man. Just don't read the thread or waste time typing an answer if its such a problem for you. Fact is, of the 4 salvage yards I called near me, none had any. Zero were available. C.L. nada. So, if I end up having to pay shipping anyway, as there don't seem to be any in my...

Thanks, and appreciate the insight. Looks like I'll be getting a winter set. Seems to be the smart move!

Good point on the tire wear. Also, an accident avoided is certainly cheaper than a set of snows as well! Follow up question.... On RWD, does one put snows only on the rear, or is it on all four?

Thanks! I'll check that out and keep in mind the model year. Didn't know that! Love this forum!
