It's a KEEPER!

[sailsmen]

Recently several friends have said I should get a new car or have asked why I am keeping such an old car.

The Marauder is the most comfortable car and the easiest to drive car I have ever owned.

And I have used it for so many different things.

After Hurricane Katrina I lived in the Marauder for several weeks and used it as an office. I had an all in one machine on the back seat that numerous people used for copying and printing.

I have drag raced it ~300 times down the 1,320'.

Participated in numerous Car Shows and Cruise Ins.

Brought our children to school and to various functions.

Called on businesses all across South Louisiana.

I have met so many people that I would not have met.

How do you let go of all that?

that's my same dilemma. Its paid off, modified like I want, big, comfortable, safe, fast and works well as a professional business person car. Yet it is getting old. I'm still going to try to keep mine around.

A little rus, its more the fact that there is always something to ix on it. Frustrates the wife and neither her or the kids like driving in it. I know many guys say "that's the point" but that means it is hardly used and is perceived as a waste of space. I have a ton of parts so that isn't the issue, that's actualy one of the reasons why I want to keep it. After the last two are out of college I'd like to repaint it and replace anything warn with all the NOS stuff I have. I'm not one that feels this car will ever be worth much, but I enjoy it for what it is so that is all that matters to me.

I sey definitely keep it! I'm sure that your family would much rather have a "cool" Hellcat. Lol but who care's it's a car not a fashion show. If you like the marauder keep. Buy a minivan for your wife and kids see how they like driving that!��

An hour ago I walked out of Home Depot and I hear my name.

He parks his car, jumps out leaving his family inside the car.

He ask - How are you? Then his next words are - Do you still have the Marauder?:D

Brandt and I worked together from 2002 until 2008. I haven't seen him in 11 years!!!

Are you referring to mine here? [emoji6]

It’s getting seriously hard to justify keeping it anymore with only putting on 1-2,000 miles a year (or less). If only I could stuff it into a closet...

I daily drive my marauder and lately have been going back and forth to texas ~7.5 hrs one way numerous times a month.

She does fine enough that I hadnt considered a replacement.

Maybe that's the good thing about having my "Zombie Marauder."...mine wouldn't fetch much $$$ anyway, yet brings lots of joy to me. So..mine is... NOT FOR SALE!:D
