#37 of 103 Four doors, 5 speed manual, rear wheel drive. by jmurdock Feb 16, 2001 (7:07 pm)
Howdy! I'm Jim Murdock, a retired Air Force navigator, currently a Certified Financial Planner living in Hebron, KY (greater Cincinnati). I have mostly driven imported cars since driving my uncle's 1959 Triumph TR-3a when I was 16. I always said that if Detroit built a good handling, responsive car with four doors, rear wheel drive and a manual transition, I would consider buying one. My LS is a black 2000 manual built in October 1999. My previous cars have been:   1961 MGA 1969 Datsun 510 1969 Fiat 124 Spider 1970 Peugeot 504 1964 Triumph TR4a 1971 BMW 2002 1969 Porsche 911E 1974 Alfa Romeo GTV 1974 Audi 100 LS 1975 Audi Fox (wife's) 1978 Pontiac Grand Am (wife's, automatic) 1978 Alfa Romeo Alphetta Sedan 1980 VW Rabit convertable (wife's) 1982 Volvo 242 GT 1982 VW Sciracco (wife's) 1984 Audi 4000 Quattro 1985 Mazda RX7 (wife's) 1988 Audi 80 Quattro (over 210,000 miles when I traded it in) 1987 Alfa Romeo Milano (wife's) 1990 VW Passat Wagon (wife's, automatic) 1995 Mazda Millenia (wife's) 1995 BMW 525i 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee TSI (wife's) 2000 Lincoln LS manual 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited (wife's)   My LS ranks with the Alfa Romeo GTV, both BMWs, and the Audi 80 Quattro as the best cars I've owned and is the best value of any of them. I like it at least as well as my '95 BMW 525i and better than the current BMW 5 series (too soft).
#38 of 103 Short list by luxi Feb 17, 2001 (12:55 am)
Hi, guys.   I'm a 33 years old electronics engineer in Southern California. I do not have long list of owned cars and long years of driving experiences like most of your guys here because I had never owned / driven a car before I came from China to this country in 1992. I'll catch up with you soon.   1987 Mercury Capri ( Bought used in 1992, my first car. 4 speed manual, same as a Ford Mustang, now have 200k happy miles )   1995 BMW 3 series ( My first new car. 5 speed manual. Loved it. Thought I would be a BMW person for the rest of my life. Attended lots of BMW events. )   2000 Lincoln LS ( V-6, 5 speed manual. Just when I was shopping for a BMW 5 series, I saw this car, and got hooked. I guess most of the BMW owners think their cars are the best, without knowing what's happening outside their circle. )   I went to the LS Mania on Jan. 6, but had to leave early to drive to Las Vegas to attend the International Consumer Electronics Show, thus missed the fun driving part.   So glad to know you all.
#40 of 103 First time poster, long time reader! New LS V8 Sport owner. by eric_ls8 Mar 01, 2001 (7:33 pm)
Hello!   Names Eric and I am 31 year old engineer for a major hardware computer company located here in Boston, MA area.   Just bought my first AMERICAN sports sedan, sold my '97 Audi A4 Quattro Turbo Sport, what a sweet ride that Audi was.... about a year ago bought a 1989 Ford SHO Taurus and actually liked its basic beginings of american competition over the Germans, found an arcticle from '89 and it being compared to the BMW M5.   Well I upgraded the SHO to a Black/Charcoal Grey LS Sport V8. If I can swing it the SHO should be seeing the SCCA track sometime soon I hope.   I want to modify my LS, anyone else who has done any mods. I am interested!   My car list:   70's Ford Maverick - I told myself after this car never a Ford product again.... until now... '79 VW Scirocco S - fell in love with the high reving engine and sports package '74 Triumph TR-6 - junker... but, boy the straigt six sounded good. '83 Honda Prelude - Should have kept this one.... '88 Toyota 4Runner '92 Acura Integra LS Sport '94 VW Passat VR-6 Sedan - OWNED it 22 Days, totalled it on 128/95 Welcome to Boston!! '92 Nissan Maxima SE - Nice power too much weight in front end. '97 Audi A4 1.8T quattro - Started modifying car, Chipped it, lots of aftermarket crap!!!   Own today:   '89 Taurus SHO 5 speed w/ 16 50's rims and 1200 watt stereo system! '00 LS V8 Sport w/ ATS, Moonroof, heated seats! '69 VW Karmann Ghia - Pride and Joy, nothing beats a 48HP convertible crusier! '93 Ford F150 (wife's) - Tows the trailer '01 Ford Explorer Sport Trac (wife's)   Hope to see you all online, its eric_ls8   can reach me shoquattroearthlink.net

Hi,   My name is Bruno Busnardo and I bought my Black/Charcoal LS8 Sport about a year ago. I am 29 years old and run a petroleum service company in Denser.   My previous cars have been few, but have all been good cars but one.   1 - 1971 Pinto - I was 16 and this car just kept taking beating after beating without fail.   2 - 1984 Renault Encore - Piece of S   3 - 1989 Ford Escort - Great car. Never broke even once after having 100k on it.   4 - 1995 Dodge Avenger - Totalled when a guy ran a red light doing about 55. Walked away without a scratch which prompted purchase of #5.   5 - 1996 Dodge Avenger ES - Black/gray with 5 speed. Great handling car for the money and the first car I fell in love with. Sold it with 100k on it and it never had a problem. Got me from Denver to Venice Beach in 12 hours flat one time.   6 - 2000 LS - Second love - Has the spirit of the Avenger with twice the power and better handling and ride. After 22k I still love it but am getting a little disappointed in the rattles and squeaks that are starting to show up. Never had one in the Avenger, which cost half the price of the LS when new.   Wife has a 99 Ford Explorer which has been a good car. I think I may stick with Ford for a while (especially since Jaguar and Land Rover are now part of the mix). My dad always bought Fords(the Pinto and the Escort were his first) and has always been happy.

#43 of 103 Z Comer! by seredmon Mar 21, 2001 (6:07 pm)
I'm a former zcot (z club of texas) member that laid his Z to rest 6 months ago. It was not easy. I work for Ford and get a great discount on their cars. I never really cared much for them, til I saw the LS and took it for a test drive. WOW!   It's a great first attempt at luxury, performance and style that competes well with Lexus, BMW, and Mercedes. Unlike my Z, it could use a little more horsepower. But I still get the looks and the compliments that I use to get for my Z. I'll rely on you guys to get more horsepower.   Like to meet new members - Keep it clean!
