I think i will be the youngest marauder owner in here

[lownslo]

At 21 years old? Can anyone in here beat that :)
Well i didn't sign the papers yet, but i love these cars. I know a lot of people might look at me wierd getting into one, but oh well.
Unlike my name though, i plan to make this one lownquik.
What do you guys think, will my age fir the image of this car? I was planning on a 02 camaro ss, but now i can get these cars for the same price, i have pretty much changed complete visions. I saw a marauder on the road the other day, it had me in awe.

[SaxGuy]

Our moderator LML has you beat. He's 19 and the proud owner of a Mercury Marauder. I'm 23 and soon to be the proud owner of a Marauder. I think their are a lot of young owners out there. It's a great car! Take this from a previous owner of a 99 TransAm.

[MAD-3R]

Welcome.
You aren't the youngest. I beleve LincMercLover is younger. :)

[prchrman]

lownslo...welcome...age does not matter to anyone here...and you are getting way way way more car (not to smack on camaros) getting the MM...congrats and go for it...you will be glad on the first trip with any distance...

[RF Overlord]

lownslo:

Welcome...and DO go for it...ANYONE can have a Camaro (and everyone does, just about), but almost NOBODY has a Marauder...you'll be getting something special. Sure, your buds might hassle you for not buying a "tuner" car, but t'hell with 'em...try taking a 500 mile trip in a ricer...

[RoyLPita]

You have me beat. I'm 32.

[Fourth Horseman]

[Bigdogjim]

Age it's only a #. Go for it lownslo. Great car great site. Nuff said

Whoa, prchrman...damn, I WAS feeling pretty good for a man my age, until you said that...

"Ooh, ooh, ooh,
I feel my temperature rising
Help me, I'm flaming
I must be a hundred and nine"

[prchrman]

Sorry...you want a sip of my Geritol w/Ensure chaser....

[vaderv]

What diff does it make. This is The United States of America. Drive what you like not what we or anyone else thinks you should drive. More power to ya. ; )

[martyo]

I act like I am 18 when I drive mine. Does that count for anything??

[LightningVic]

I own an LX sport, but not by choice, if the marauder had been out in time I would drive that. I am counting myself :) I am also 19

[LightningVic]

I should point out I do get alot of funny looks in mine too, especially from ricers. Hey Boy is that yo daddy's car. I said no, then ***** him through the intersection. Drive it like you stole it, and the looks will end

My son just turned 37. Does that make me the oldest at 61?

:alone:

[prchrman]

we might have a winner here...:bows: :bigcry: :burnout:

[LincMercLover]

Yah, I always got the "Damn Rick, I thought you were after something faster than your Lincoln." I just ask them if they wanna see how slow she really is. :D

[Paul T. Casey]

I'm a whopping 45, until I sit behind the wheel of my MM. Then I'm lucky if I'm 15. I've said it before, this thing is viagra of wheels!!!

[vaderv]

Paul T. Funny same thing happens to me. Must be the Nudo leather...

[martyo]

Ok vadverv and Paul T., I'll let you explain to LML what Viagra is.

[the fat bastid]

dammnit, i'm turning 22 this month (27th) and still dont have mine!

[UncleLar]

dok,you got me beat by the better part of a decade.
I was 22 when I bought a brand new 73 Pantera.
If you young guys think you look funny in a MM you should've seen me trying to get into a Honda S2000 to test drive it for my son,(no flames,he's gonna use it as a race car),I'm way old,6'3" and around 275 lbs,I had to put the top down,walk into it and slide down into the seat like a darn go-kart,thought they might need the Jaws Of Life to get me back out of it.
It's nice to see you young dudes buying
big honking hulks of Detroit Iron..

[Billatpro]

We will over look the fact that your a kid, along with the rest of the damn kids on here, Just don't try to grow up to soon and NO damn "Old Guy remarks"

[nomad]

19!!! Geez, I was 19 in '75. Funny how the older you get, the better you used to be.

[merc406]

I was probly the youngest at 14, when I bought my brother's 63 427 S-55 Marauder but that was back in 69. Oh car didn't run, but by age 16 I had rebuilt it and had it on the road.

[Beadhead]

Quote: "At 21 years old? Can anyone in here beat that ?"

Yup. 50 going on 15.

[dok]

When I was 14, I paid $100 for a 1950 Merc. Customized it and painted it jet black. Very similar to the car James Dean made famous. Kept it 3 years and sold it for $500. Sure wish I had it now.

:cry:

[Patrick]

Didnit we this :argue: before??????? I am 37, feel like 97!!!but when I get in MM back to sixteen!!!!!!!!

I hope you get your MM soon!!!!!!1

Not nice. Mess with me all you like, but let's leave wives/GFs out of it... :mad:

[SergntMac]

(quietly, sheepishly, raising hand from the infamous back row)

ummm...hey guys...I'm...ahhh...old too.

I like went...ummm...Metric, in like ah...The 80s, so, now I'm ahhh...Like, ummm...157mm...I think. Could be some two digit number celcieus too, ya know? haven't figured that out yet...

Either way, I am often and usually, quite juvenile...as the evidence of that is often and usually presented here, so...

Any women 156mm or less here, care to meet a soulmate?

Just thought I'd ask...Nevermind.

[WolfeBros]

Hey guys.......rule of thumb # 284337

LOL, we're cool, we're cool. I still don't do Viagra (and god help us all if I did!), the MM does enoph for me! :D

Sarge,

I don't think your GF would appreciate that!

[prchrman]

Viagra isn't that the grill/steering wheel emblem...no no sorry that's...Niagara...

[lshultz]

lownslo, age has nothing to do with it, money and state of mind is all that matters...you are only as old or young as you feel, and at 58 I can look at you youngsters and wonder "why the hell didn't I have money at that age", oh well, got it now, so who the hell cares...enjoy it while you can, and at your age you have a lot of enjoyment left on your ticket...

CV SPORTSTER:D :D :D

[silverbullitt]

I turned 26 two weeks ago, and just ordered my silver birch MM with the dealer-installed spoiler to replace my '00 Mustang GT convertible... it's cool to see that a lot of younger people have an appreciation for this car too. The first time someone asks me what the difference between the MM and the Grand Marq is, I'm prepared to show them! :coolman:

[dok]

Welcome Silverbullit. I also have a silver birch MM on order. I ordered it on February 10 and still don't have a build date. How long before they said you would be able to take delivery?

[Long Live #3]

I can definitely beat that. I'm 17!

[LincMercLover]

Damn... I'm beat!

We got any 13 year olds here who JUST snuck in with the registration age limit?

[MAD-3R]

Linc, I think yo may be the youngest OWNER though

[LincMercLover]

So, I'm still special?!?! :D

[Bigdogjim]

It' all a time zone. I was 20 when I bought a '70 X-100..(new) My buddies thought I was nuts? So now the MM come around again and guess what I got one again:beer: How cool is that.... (my wife knows I am nuts)Age is just a number... Fun thread.... Still it's a time thing.....Get the car while you can 33 years is long time! :beer: :beer: :beer:

[silverbullitt]

The only universal truth about this car seems to be that the dealer knows NOTHING about it. The black 300A in the showroom at the dealership (a former dealer demo) actually had a flat tire when I went in. How bad is that? (No worse than when you tell them that you want the dlr-installed spoiler and they tell you there isn't one, so you have to pull out their own brochure and point to it).

Basically I have no date yet, but despite knowing that it's April 1 before they start painting them in SB, I have to endure the dealer's constant reassurances that they're already out there in that color and that getting one will be no problem. He doesn't listen. I don't expect to see the car before the middle of May.

Now if I could only get him to stop asking me if I'm positive I don't want the "optional moonroof" that doesn't even exist... :shake:

Where's reaper when you need him?

[prchrman]

Yeah I was special...'Special Ed'...then I graduated...kinda...

[LincMercLover]

Ever notice that the short buses ride SO much better than the regular ones? :lol:

[Long Live #3]

Yes Linc, you are the youngest owner, but I'm the youngest MEMBER. BTW, how old did you think I was LML?

[LincMercLover]

TOO old? :D

No, I dunno... Only other "youngin'" I know around here is Reap. I haven't really kept tabs on everyone's age here. I don't really care, we're all just a bunch of boys with toys!

[Long Live #3]

That's the jist of it.

[DLoreanMARAUDER]

I just turned 19 on march 13 exactly a month after i got my MM but yea LML you beat me, BUT IM THE YOUNGEST OF THE NEW YORK CHAPTER :)
MMUUHHUUHHAAHHAA!

[Reaper948]

Im 18, boys.......read em and weep

[notacop]

i have you all beat. i'm 16. 5/19/86

[martyo]

Ok, what can we learn from this thread?

First, we now know which guys will know how to make our computers do what we want, where to turn when we want CD's ripped and burned, who to ask where all the good looking chicks are hanging out.....

We also learned that we have to keep RF and his rather warped sense of humor away from Reaper and notacop. In fact, I often question whether he should even be allowed near LML, everybody's favorite tyke! We don't want that boy anymore screwed up than he is!!

[notacop]

i'll be honest, he paid for it but i'm the only one in my family who drives and maintains it. (think my mom is scared of it :P). anyway, i do pay insurance and nearly four grand a year aint cheap for someone my age who plays two sports

[Long Live #3]

I don't have an MM, but I do have a car that's somewhat like it. It's a 1996 Ford Thunderbird. It does have the 4.6 V8.

[martyo]

It's past my bed time. G'night!!

[RCSignals]

Oh come now, so the guy is 16 and has a new Marauder.
Sounds like he appreciates it and will take care of it.

There should be more 16 -18 years olds who love this car for what it is, instead of drooling over Honda Civics.

All our "Young Guns" should write to Bill Ford and tell him their age, they actually own a Marauder and ask why he's going to stop production after 2004 when things are just getting going.

[Long Live #3]

Good idea. So who's going to send him the e-mail?

[notacop]

exactly. though i have friends who own a 2001 cobra, a 2001 mustang bullitt, a 1995 z28, and a 2003 mach 1, these kind of cars are definitely in the minority among my age group. it seems as though for every american car i see, i see 5 more neon underbodied, fart canned, decaled, imported 4 cyls. this is especially bad here in phoenix. i personally love the car for its size, looks, sound, and aura, not to mention the performance potential of the 4.6 4 valve. it will be sad to see it go, but even more of an atrocity if ford axes it because of not enough young buyers.
