    Austin anyone?

    I don't think there are any on here in the area, but I'll post anyway

    There is a meet in the works for Sunday Oct. 16 in the Austin area.

    We are planning on just meeting up and grabbing some food, nothing spectacular.

          Will you have it before the meet?

          You are more than welcome to come either way.

            Should have it..I'm looking at flying up either Tuesday or Wednesday and probably overnighting with relatives a few hours south of the dealership. Then there is just the fun of the drive back (a little different than my regular long-distance trips since I want to avoid simply setting the cruise on umm, more than the speed limit like I usually do).

                It is looking more and more like I am going to Marq-less (see the clusterfuck as described in my thread in the noob forum). Idiot dealer in Illinois basically sold the vehicle twice, and the second sale was to an Indiana dealer that picked it up before I could get there.

                As of yesterday, there was possibly ONE left in the US equipped with the basic stuff I require. Didn't hear back today, and I have a meeting with the owner of the local dealership...

                I'm to the point of drafting my complaints for civil court (I'll hold off until tomorrow though)...Illinois civil procedure is probably very similar to Texas law, and I can hold my own in Texas courts, even though civil is not the area of our practice in the office where I work...I'm wondering if I could get a judge to buy off on treble damages in the amount of the vehicle I am now without (basically treble the retail of $33K, purchased for $25K- do the math), not to mention the emotional anguish and distress permitted under the TX DTPA in an amount deemed appropriate by the Court.

                      rofl...well, actually my Mercury beginnings were with a Montego...and I bet I am one of the few women you would run across who can set points even if they were only on a baby V8 (it only had the 351C, a $58 dollar option in 1972)

                        so is this thing still on? I won't have my car, but I can give some wicked horror stories about a particular Mercury franchised dealership in North Austin and their deceptive trade practices...

                        (side note: I fly in to Cleveland Tuesday night and pick my car up on Wednesday AM...I expect to be able to give props to a Cuyahoga Falls dealership when I return).

                          I guess that's Cleveland, Ohio and not Texas.
