    Howdy.

    My name is Christian, but honestly, everyone but my folks and wife call me Mental. That will make sense after a while.

    Married, no kids, one dog currently. I am a terrible gearhead and the latest acquisition in car number 8. I am also a pretty avid motorcyclist.

    We live just outside of Oklahoma City in Edmond, and I am in the Air Force.

    We just picked up a 1978 Mercury Colony Park.

    Originally this car was bought for the BABE Rally. But the owner was so great and the car is so nice, my wife fell in love. She called me on the way home to let me know the wagon would be with us permanently.

    As I understand it, the guy we bought it from is on here. He recommended this site. But I am told the previous owner is here as well. I was told he made this video.

    The car came Santa Barbra, California. But has no rust. I was also told that it lived in Cali it's whole life. Well, no worries, there is no rust in Oklahoma. It has a mere 133,000 miles and I believe I am the 4th owner.

    I hope I covered all the bases. Thanks for the membership, I look forward to talking with you.

    Nice wagon! I like the hideaway headlights. It's cool that so many people on this site have dogs to go along with their wagons!

    Hey,
    Nice ride, they've always reminded me of a Sears and Roebuck Mediterranean style bedroom set from the 70's.
    I'll give you 500 bucks or less for it?;)

    Two words, white and walls.:D
