Well, boys (and girls), the ride has come to an end.
Having purchased my 2003 Marauder back in 2007, with only 18,000km (approx. 12,000miles), I have enjoyed the last 9 years and 260,000km (almost 160,000miles) of driving, I decided it was time to part ways, so the Marauder has found a new home (courtesy of Kijiji).
I've since been in contact with its' new owner, and they are enjoying the car, so I know it's gone to a good home.
It's been great with the camaraderie and friendly waves from other Marauder owners (and those unmarked police cars who can't quite figure out what it is). Remarkably trouble free, original engine and trans, but new battery, starter, 2 alternators and brakes were the only major expenses, while the a/c system was replaced under warranty (thank goodness), so all in all, it was a pretty reliable car.
So, moving on with a new 2015 Mustang GT coupe as sole transportation (for now), I've done a Borla S cat-back and window tint, and think I'm gonna keep it pretty stock (again, for now anyways). I've joined the Golden Horseshoe Mustang Association (local club) and may look to join MCA, but haven't heard much about Canadians getting the same benefits as U.S. members, so have to do some investigation there.
For those I had contact with over the years, thanks for everything and good luck with your rides! You never know - another Marauder may find its' way into my driveway in the future, if conditions work out.
Happy Motoring to everyone!
