I will be :D
It'll be a late gift...but she'll appreciate it.
In late January I'm picking up a 20 foot tilt/flatbed trailer for my MM. No longer will she have to drive to events!
I put on 11K miles in 5 months last year which included my trip to Atlanta and two trips to Michigan...lots-o-miles. I don't want to do that again this year.
I'm heading to Alt. Auto in MI (trailered of course!) in late Feb. for some "minor" work by Lidio and his crew. Hoping for 12.1's to 12.2's next spring...and 450rwhp.
Widened rims w/ Nitto's, 2.8 pulley, larger MAF and I'll be set! :banana:
I'm heading to Indiana at least 2x next summer for drag events along with a possible SSHS5 (fingers crossed :) ) and a few trips to events around my area.
She won't be more than 120 miles from home without the trailer!.
I'll be using my fathers 5.7Hemi Dodge 1500 in 2005 but I plan on buying a nice pickup, probably a diesel, to haul her for 2006 and beyond.
Time to get serious about my car! 13.5psi, 93 octane with a 110 octane race tune.
See the Motor City gang in late February!
2005 is going to be a blast! :party:

It doesn't compare to the above, but she was good this year and :santaw: is bringing her GT coil covers. Can't wait till Mama sees that one under the tree on the 25th. :mad: I couldn't resist :santa:

Diablosport Predator and maybe a CAI kit from K&N or a sponsor...still not sure, a couple years back I had a CAI on my 99 Vic and it performed horribly in the cold weather :confused:

She just got a set of SS inserts. Santa should be bringing a set of Gorilla wheel locks amongst other things...:)

EEC kept the engine on high idle with the Focus Sport induction system. :santaw: is also bringing a K&N panel to go with the JLT the great turkey brought at Thanksgiving.

Mine's getting . . . uh, washed?
And some new hubcaps, if they fit. The rest of my money goes my other project which gets all of the mods lately. The MM takes a distant second to the munchkin.

<HR style="COLOR: #dddddd" SIZE=1><!-- / icon and title -->I didn't buy my Marauder a Xmas present. My present is giving a used 2004 Marauder a new home for Xmas. I pick mine up this afternoon.
I've been a lurker on this site for several months now and I don't think I've "met" a better bunch of people. This site was one of the reasons I purchased my Marauder (other than it being one of the hottest cars around).

Logan / Marty,
Does MERCURY/FORD know this ???
You could be collecting on every Marauder sold !!!
You could have MM.net linked to the new MyMercury site when it gets re-opened !!!

Should we do a poll on how many Marauders this site has "sold"? I fear we'd be driving a Lincoln LS if it weren't for Logan!
Anyhow, I'm hoping to win the Christmas present on the 19th as well.
Eitherway, I'm overdue at introducing myself to The Dealer. I need 2 sets of mats, cargo net, and maybe the gold alarm/remote start deal.
Its pretty cold outside now though, so I really should visit The Jeweler first so I can keep sleeping inside the house!

She got her present early... a set of snow tires (whoop-dee-doo :rolleyes: ).
Better a new set of shoes than in a ditch I guess. A better present might be a used POS Jeep I'm looking at tomorrow. That way she can avoid the heavy stuff all together.

Ok, so I do not own a Marauder. However, I did purchase a Marauder torque converter for my Panther Platform Police Interceptor.
It will be rebuilt with a custom stall and will be installed along with the J-mod and forced-lube mod.

:welcome: Way to go; good for you .....and good for us!
Take a good look in the mirror every day, and watch the grin just grow, and grow. :woohoo:
Ray sent me the Ford GT coil covers via the BigDog, and, after Christmas, I'll take them up to where the Silver Birch is stored and may put them on, but prolly will just show 'em to the girl, as I'm still trying to decide about paint for the valve covers.
Ford GT coil covers and floor mats, both already in use. Probably do some Zaino too. :)

My '04 gets presents throughout the year.... next is 4.10's & "shine hiney", then new oil pressure, volts, trans temp & A/F ratio (for the pillar pod).

Well than, there are two things you should know. First, watch out for Billg (he is up in CT himself and you MUST keep an eye on him). Second, you need to be joining us at some of the NY area events!
