    Hello everyone!

    I just moved to LA and bought myself a 1976 Mercury Comet inline 6 250ci Two Doors as a daily driver!
    She is white with a blue interior, it is its original paint and interior, the paint looks clean even if old, the trims and chromes are pretty good and the interior is amazing if only for a few tears on the front sit.
    I am loving this little car even if, as my last car was a 73 Mustang with 4 barrel 350CJ, the inline 6 is a bit slow sometimes :D

    The car has always been in California and its previous owner is a mechanic, so she is in pretty good shape!

    Thanks all for the warm welcome!

    I am liking Venice, interesting indeed, keeps life surprising ;)

    Thanks David, I'll keep that in mind!

    And Mojo, the paint is original, it looks great from a distance and more than OK when getting closer even if it starting to show its age. But mostly it is in great shape and still has its shine.
    The milage shown is 36000 but I'm sure it has 136000 miles on it. It does not leak (even if it dos eat oil) and drive smoothly, the only thing I'm planning on doing to the car for now is, soon, change the break pads and the tires, so regular maintenance.
