No Marauder for a Week

[Bluerauder]

I was on a business trip to Tucson, Sierra Vista and Tombstone, Arizona all week. OK, I was screwing off in Tombstone checking out the old West and Big Nose Kate's saloon. I had an Oldsmobile Alero for a rental ... 5 days .... sheesh. :shake:

With all that open space and highways, I kept thinking about my Marauder sitting in the airport parking garage ... between two concrete supports. You didn't think I was gonna leave it in the driveway for my son to play with all week -- did you??? :stupid:

What a difference to drop into the seat of my MM for the trip home from the airport. This car just feels right and fits like a glove. Had to juice it a bit headed out the airport exit just to make sure everything was OK. It was!!! Man I really like this car. :bows:

Hope you had an enjoyable trip, but what I don't understand is that you left your car at the airport parking garage with all those POS next to it. You should have left the car at home and taken the keys with you and you would of had the same results, except that your car would have been home nice and safe.

When you traveled between Tucson and Tombstone did you happen to pass by or even stop in one of two small towns along the way, one is Dragoon and the other is Vail?

Gordon,
You may have noted that I parked between two concrete posts in the airport garage. It was pretty safe from the POS crowd. Now back in my driveway, my son would have found some reason to wrangle the extra set of keys from my wife like mysterious problems with his Cougar. It was safer at the airport .... trust me on this one.
:lol:

I didn't stop by Vail or Dragoon. Vail is just east of the Tucson airport --- I saw the exit sign on I-10 at about 75 mph. I don't recall Dragoon at all. Is it off I-10 as well. To be perfectly honest, I didn't see much between Tucson and Tombstone except the small town of Benson. Other than that ... it was wide open spaces .............

Yea I know I was just picking on you for leaving it at the airport. :lol:

If you thought Benson was small, Vail is a small town east of Tucson on I-10, I had a freind who lived there back in the '80s. There is/was also a castle on a hill there that supposedly the owner had shipped from England stone by stone. I never really believed the story and only seen it from a distance. Dragoon is even a smaller town or at least it was when I lived out there. It was at the intersection of two dirt roads with old wooden buildings on three of the corners. One was the Post Office/Sherriff/Mayors Office and I think one of the other buildings was the outhouse. Went through there numerous times for there was a major college hangout spot in the desert just past there a few miles down one of the dirt roads.

Glad you had a safe trip and welcome back.

The story about the castle may be true.... didn't someone buy the London Bridge and ship it to Arizona piece by piece. Don't know exactly where it is but its in the AZ desert somewhere.

Gotta go to New Mexico next week --- travel is getting old this year. On the bright side .... I am saving miles on the MM. :up:

Funny thing is the that story I heard is that is the guy thought he was buying the Tower Bridge in London.

Yeah, I hear that the Brooklyn Bridge is also for sale. Wonder if he's interested in the set?

"Bright side"? What's good about that? I've been saying stuff like, "I'm going out to the store, be right back." at 11:00 PM and getting back at 2:00 AM. Man this car is fun to drive.

I can't say I know how you feel, but I have just taken her in for her first warranty repairs. Dropped her of at 12:30 for a speaker buzz, re-alignment, re-do the interior sealant for poor coverage and repair the steering wheel lock which wasn't. They'll drop it off to the tinters for a 30% stealth on five windows and get it back for pick-up tomorrow hopefully by noon.

I borrowed the 97 GM I gave to my mom when I bought true happiness and I can't believe I used to like driving that old pig. It feels like somethings fixing to come apart on it, it wallows like it needs new sway-bar bushings, the cloth seats feel like some old fleabag couch I used to sleep on back in the '70s and when I look at it I feel like I do sometimes when I look at my old ex-bi..I mean ex-wife.("You don't look too bad now but back when you were new, oooh momma")

I think this is what psychiatrists call "separation anxiety syndrome".

I want my mothe...er, Marauder. :D
