Make your Mark so Sanjeev doesn’t have to.

Yes, I’m riffing on that infamous 1980s Car & Driver promotion about doing something-something or we’ll shoot this dog.

My coffers are almost empty: TTAC’s readership needs to send questions to answer on Piston Slap. Because, if you don’t…

Actually no, even if Piston Slap dies (along with my auto-journo career and paycheck) I won’t kill my Mark VIII LSC mid-restoration. Nor will I abort the wicked powertrain swap planned for TTAC’s project Ford Sierra. Money is overrated, and there’s more info on the Sierra coming soon.

But we (you and me) can’t continue to make the interactive column I once envisioned many moons ago without your help. Email me (sajeev@thetruthaboutcars.com [For the time being, send inquiries to editors@ttac.com as it seems Sajeev’s email is borked. Also, if you already sent Sajeev your question, please send it again to the new address. Technology, man. -Mark) with any question about your car, cars in general, theoretical situations and just about anything else. Just a few minutes on the keyboard from you nets plenty of joy from TTAC readers.

Don’t be shy.

Stop lurking.

Make it happen.

Send your queries to sajeev@thetruthaboutcars.com. Spare no details and ask for a speedy resolution if you’re in a hurry…but be realistic, and use your make/model specific forums instead of TTAC for more timely advice.

    I don't think you want me bugging you with my car schizophrenia... On any given week I go through the following thought process: Sell both cars and consolidate to a new 4Runner! Upgrade Civic to new Outback Limited, keep 4Runner! Buy Cressida, sell Civic, keep 4Runner! Sell Civic and 4Runner, buy Outback Limited! Neither buy nor sell anything, keep saving! Thankfully the last option is what I end up going with after all of the mental gymnastics.

      @Corey Lewis For me, it's sometimes you have to sacrifice the house you want in order to get the garage you want. Priorities. "All I see is three car garages and acreage for a future workshop (equipped with a 2 post lift, big air compressor, MIG welder), filled with all sorts of interesting projects and daily drivers and motorcycles." This is what I have. Hang in there for exactly what you want, you'll never ever look back.

    Don't kill the Lincoln! I just Buick'd Sajeev's E-Mail account. Wait, that sounds kind of dirty....

    I always wanted to see what a Mark VIII would look like with the fake spare tire hump removed. I think it would really be sleek and lose the old guy image.

    Keep the LSC. It is a gentleman's Cobra and you don't see many on the road anymore.
