If it hasn't been touched by the shining hand of Miker, then no care.

your antenna looks like it could use a viagra...

usmcgunner 03-13-2013 01:02 PM

You no car why??? Because you dont know how to pronounce M-E-R-K-U-R????? you dont know what a M-E-R-K-U-R is???? If it was a GTO, or a Vette, or a Camaro, You'd be like, "Thats Cool, man, Thats Awesome, Lets go driving sometime!"

Thats what I love. When someone talks about or hates on something they know NOTHING about....I love it.....

It's too early for Russ to be into the shine so I'm sure he meant it in good fun.

Pssst, the "no care" comments are a running joke on the forum...don't take it personally.

ForceFed4g63 03-13-2013 01:26 PM

Someone needs to do some tag homework

RoadconeTuning 03-13-2013 01:33 PM

lol i was actually going to say i like the picture that of the car by itself. and why do you have a ford badge on your Merkur? It aint a damn Cosworth!

REDRAGTOPRS 03-13-2013 01:57 PM

I lol's at the antenna viagra comment!

usmcgunner 03-13-2013 02:07 PM

Its all good. The Ford badge is on there, for 2 reasons; Its powered by a 2.3 Turbo Ford, ad it was built by Ford of Germany. The car is far from stock, and alot of it is Cosworth; the arches, whale tail, steering wheel, suspension/sway bars, and more.. (Ford Sierra Cosworth)

Here is a stock one that I found this week here in Beaufort:

ROFTLMBO at the "funny looking focus" tag.


you're good man, it's a good car, and a good bike to play & learn on.

i remember when merkurs were all the rage in the car magazines.
how much were they new? more or less than mustang/camaro's?

Thanks man, I actually have an original window sticker, and they were around $22K brand new. More than most cars in there class, and that was one BIG reason for there downfall.

I got the bike as a beginner bike,as I've never driven a street bike before. I didnt want to put a bunch of money on a good bike, so if I ever dumped it or wrecked it, I wouldnt be out too bad.

blkscls1z 03-13-2013 04:24 PM

For people to get the "YOSUN" they would have to know it was a HYOSUNG in the first place.

As an owner of a base model Vette, I'm just here to provide entertainment.

usmcgunner 03-13-2013 05:56 PM

Wow, Hater really be hatin, LOL but the funny thing is, They dont know what they be hatin about! None of you have the slightest idea of either one of these, but thats the good thing.....I'm not talking the bike up, by any means, its great gas mileage, basic two wheeled transportation for me. as for the XR4Ti, Huh, alot of you may lose your ass in the capabilities of what this car really has. I hope to take it to dorchester soon, gotta get the new trans mount, and driveshaft balanced, then we shall see, Hehehe! Hate all you can, I like it!

blkscls1z 03-13-2013 06:19 PM

I used to drive a '86 Ford Tempo, my brother had a '83 Turbo Coupe and I knew a guy who had a Escort EXP. I know all I need to know about mid 80's Ford products. Lol!

Shane361 03-14-2013 12:02 PM

Hell my first car was a can primer Ford EXP. Talk about a TURTLE :shock: But back then...I had TRANSPO and that is all that mattered! :cheers

Some people just don't know the capabilities of the conebalt.

RoadconeTuning 03-14-2013 01:59 PM

I do thats why its sad that it outran a turbo 2.3 lol

2001hawk 03-14-2013 04:12 PM

This car reminds me of all of the people trying to put emblems and letters on the car to make it more rare.

usmcgunner 03-14-2013 04:17 PM

Hmmmmm..............Ignorance is bliss. Quick question; Would it be different if I had a "cool" car, like what you all have (The same of might I add) but ran like your ass after a night of heavy drinking? I bet it would, just because the car was something that you all have, and is a common car, and you're familiar with.

Also, could half of your cars really keep up with this? (Keep in mind, this is a TIRED old 80's 2.3 Turbo Ford)

Or this:

Or can your hopped up "cool" car do this? I would say.....................................NO!!!!

:hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:

1. Rolodex racing youtube videos of other peoples cars
2. 12.0 isn't fast
3. Burnout on the dyno is just retarded.

ForceFed4g63 03-14-2013 04:52 PM

Damn I wish my little neon was running, this thread might be enough inspiration for me lol

1997b4c 03-14-2013 04:54 PM

If I had 18s and rikens on my junk box it'd spin on the dyno too. Looked more like tire rub to me lol

crumbie 03-14-2013 04:58 PM

Well the Neon has been around longer than the Merkur brand has existed, so that should tell you something.

Wow, the stupidity is REALLY comming out. You dont happen to know Phil Marshall, the guy that owns that car, and has won SEVERAL SCCA championships in that car. Hmmmm. that tired old 80s 2.3T 9 second mustang, let me guess.....thats some sort of hoax????not true???

But again, I love it, because you are playing into all of this, so in the end it looks like you fall into a really big :fial: category!

Have an outstanding day!:bigthumb:
