    Might have to sell.

    It is words nobody wants to have to say but I have been jobless for three weeks. I set a threshold for the end of the month. At that point it's either pack up and leave my house or sell the Marauder. While I was at the Eustis picnic, my job of 2 years was given away to a guy who ass-kissed his way into the position by crying "poor me" and exploiting the fact that his irresponsible lifestyle has spawned two children he cannot afford to take care of. So now I am out of work and may have to sell. The car will go as-is with everything that you have seen on it. The retail on the stereo system exceeds $14,000 and I will not return the car back to stock. It would be too labor intensive. This is only a bad dream for now and will not come to fruition if I gain employment within the next two weeks.

    It is all JL-Audio (300/4, 500/1, Three 10w1's, VR components) and Eclipse everything else (DVD/Nav back-up camera, iPod integration, steering wheel controls, CD changer, auxiliary inputs) and a complete custom trunk with a God Head logo in the floor all accented with a Varad LED kit.

    I'm sorry to see things may go the wrong way for you, but I'd like to pass on a phrase that was told to me, "Don't give up hope, & never give up the fight" I know your MM is more to you than just a means of transportation as like mine was to me. Do what you must and keep what you can, but relize we are all family here and you're not alone in this crazyland called America.

    that's the retail - with lots of labor. All the stuff was bought brand-new in boxes and was all gotten at cost. I was in the business for 9 years so all the tricks were put into it.

    Lets not get out of hand - It ain't for sale yet. I have haunted every employer resource I can and submitted lots of resumes... Anyone that sees it knows she is loved. I don't even want to advance a potential selling price.
