    More attention than my MustangGt

    I get more attention and comments about my Marauder than with my 2001 Mustang Gt. I get positive remarks from all age groups about the big black beast!! It makes it hard to decide which car to sell this spring since I don't really need two play cars to keep! Help!

I mostly dont get questions thou but instead just " nice car".
    Everybody and their grandmother knows about my impala and I even get ppl that think its the fastest sedan in the world short of a Hellcat but when folks see my Marauder I might as well drive a UFO spaceship cuz most ppl have no clue.

    Sometimes it is quite entertaining when you have to explain an entire car line that was discontinued a decade ago. Usually younger people know a lot about it.

    I get the SAME EXACT crap from a kid at work who drives a 2007 Tahoe that he thinks is the sh*znits. My response: "You will never enter that thing in a car show because no one will ever look at it, nor will you ever win first place like I did". It shuts him up every time!

    They know OF your impala but theu dont know ABOUT it. Thats was what i was getting at. People thing they are very rare which they actually arent. They dont know 96 was the only year for the floor shift, odbII...etc etc.

    In Connecticut, Mass, Vermont, NY state - every gas station or store I park at, the car get's stared at and/or a walk up questionnaire.
    I appreciate the visual impact it has, I bought it for that!
    I get asked if it has the police interceptor motor, I just say no.
    Some hear the blower whine and comment - they get a tire chirp from me.
    I love the reaction, but not the attention.

    Was at the barbershop once. And for the first time ever, i parked right in front of the shop, a good view for everyone to see. As i was getting my hair did i noticed all the barbers would go outside look at it and take pictures. Then when i was heading out, one barber offered me $3000 for it. I said, "Give me the $15k it cost me and its yours"
    He gave me this dumbfounded look...he probably thought I was crazy for paying $15k for a Vic. 😒😞

    $3,000 I would have told him if I needed crack or crystal meth I'd take him up on his offer. That's just plain out ignorant and disrespectful. I'd tell him to go on MM.net then Wikipedia then cars.com/autotrader, then CL and make a better offer.

    You're absolutely right but at least they know OF it so they have a clue. Complete opposite with the MM. I had a couple of guys give me a surprised raised eyebrow when I told them it blows the doors off of P71 crown vics and all Stock MMs have a DIFFERENT motor than the vic. Some ppl don't know the imp SS and most Caprice 9C1s have the same engine smh.

    I sell cars. With other sales people that have sold cars for 20-30 years. They do not know what my MM is. It shows me right away who the ignorant folks are.
    One lady I worked with (broken human and hater) asked me why I put gang banger wheels on. I said blame Ford if you don't like them, they put them on at the factory. She said no they didn't. I refuse to argue with ignorance, I just said "don't take my word for it, look on wiki or something."
    More ignorance from car sales "veterans"
    -"Does that come with a special engine?"
    -back in service..."Did you realize you wrote down two different sizes for the tires you want me to order you?!"
    -"Can we go to lunch in your 'Magruder'? I like that car!"
    -Why are you putting in premium?! You don't have to do that.

    Y mucho mas...

    The kid at the McDonalds window was admiring my car this morning. "Wow, supercharged and everything" he says. Then he proclaimed I should install a turbo instead......
