Default I Be Here Now Finally

My first taste of M was a 1988 Mercury Tracer, basically a 323 in disguise. Now we have one real M and a Ford in M cladding.


2003 Mazda Tribute ES 4WD


1993 Mazda MPV 4WD

Thank you. I'd have been here sooner if I'd known.

Well this one (1993 MPV 4WD) sure wouldn't be without my constant proffering of money to a variety of repair shops over the last 6 years. Transmission, u-joints, alternators (3), drive shaft, rear air shocks, impossible to get to hoses, sheared key on timing wheel, distributor, oil seals everywhere. Easily four times the 2006 purchase price.

Why do I keep it? I work for the Postal Service. I need a 4WD vehicle. And a people hauler for the extended family. Difficult to find that combination now.

And I haven't seen one of these on the road in a very long time so they're quite rare. Always a plus in my book.
