So many
The day I raced a police car
The day I test drove and went around a u turn sideways, salesman liked to pooped his pants.
The 1,000,000 days I drove it
The day I picked up Black
The day I flew to Chicago and fell in love with Blue (Thanks Mike)
The day I flew to AZ and picked up Red.
I will love them to the end. I have arrangements to be buried in one.
Burning rubber in Heaven..
After few years..after searching, not only mine, but also my dads dream car we found our marauder. I was searching for a black one originally but then saw this great opportunity on our DTR so we took it with no regrets to this day. Then I come to mm.net and realized we chose one of the slowest marauders lmao but other than that, my fav. memory: getting picked up from school on our DTR and seeing my dad smile like I've never seen before.
Here's another memory ..... Marauders invading the Sunoco station in search of 93 Octane at the end of Marauderville III (MV3) in Detroit, MI. I think we made that owner's quota of 93 Premium for the week.
Below is the Burger King (BK) parking lot on Woodward Avenue at MV III, August 2005. When I snapped this pic, I had just counted 85 MMs in the lot (both sides of the building, front, entrances, and open grass spots.) That's the most that I have ever seen in one location at one time.

For me, it was either the day I test drove it and fell in love. I remember doing my first WOT in a Marauder and being very impressed, more than I was expecting! I knew right there and then this was the car FOR ME!
OR, it would be the rainy, dreary, cold day that I signed off all the paperwork and drove it home, even though it had a traction control error due to the dealer putting on the wrong size tires (245's all the way around) or the fact that the t-stat was bad so it ran hot for a minute before it cooled down....those both worried me but I had them fixed by the dealer the next week, and now everything is hunky dory.
Still haven't raced anyone yet...

The minute I put the Lidio tune back in after driving stock for the weekend in order to pass RI inspection.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
back in 2004 after i picked up my DTR from Highland Park L/M, i was on my way home when i spied a pretty young thing hitch hiking...being a good guy, i pulled over and offered her a ride. as we got talking she confessed to me that she is a witch....i laughed a little and said that i didn't believe her...to prove the point, she unbuckled her seat belt and slid very close to me, moistened her lips and blew into my ear....my marauder turned into a motel!
Still cant top MV5 when I did the burnout at show,that was filmed for the TV news and shown on the news that night. It was all staged for that reason.
# 2352 Lidio Built my Hot Rod... 2011 S55-001
Before getting S/C'd I was sitting at a light and a Nissan Maxima pulls up next to me. The driver looks over and starts given me this S... eatn' grin along with laughing at my car. Then started reving their engine. So, I let him take off from the light and about a half mile up the road we come to another light and of course I was already sitting there waiting on him. They pull up next to me and everyone started .
He really liked it when it was NA, I'd like to find him now!
The first time I stabbed the gas when boosted and it just broke loose.... mmm that was nice.
The day I met the owner to test drive I immediately said in my mind I want it! A few hours later she was mine!

Driving it home from the Dealer!! Was a nice day and a fairly long ride from Raynham to Winchester which was cool . Still have never driven another 2003 up Panther so it's a big treat compared to all the older non rack and pinion Town Cars and Crown Victorias I own(ed)
Took it for a test drive and knew it was mine, even parked next to my 2001. Ended up trading it in really did not want to but it was for the greater good.
Here she is the first time in my driveway, was a VERY good day Saturday, August 21, 2010, 6:25:19 PM WOOOOTTT
