The CV guys wanted to set up a meet. This obviously includes our MM brethren. Be at XXX at noon. If you'd like, meet at the previously designated staging areas about 30-45min prior to noon. Hope to see you there!

I'm not sure it's a good date for me.
( and I can't stand the thought of all those dead bugs and stuff all over my Marauder ;) )

Yep, I should be able to. Always happy to go below the line for some cheap gas (well relatively), good company and good root beer.

I'm in for some Root Beer.

Nice car Ryan! :cool:

When did you pick that up? Did you do the modding yourself, or was it already done?

Did you sell the old red one?

Oh God, that's not mine. That was taken at Marauderville by Blue 03. It's in his album. I just posted it because what it looked like.

I still have the '99 Vic. I might be adding a red 2002 LX Sport to the fleet, though.

Speaking of dog, I saw a front seat dog seat. Has the pads to protect the leather and a raised area so they can see out the windsheild. Also seatbelt for protection.

I'm going.

Oh OK. My mistake.

Sounds good on the Sport, but why not look for a 2003?


Looking at that special CV again, perhaps it is boB err Sherrif's (look at the SUV wheels)

I've decided to pass on the '02. It's a pretty good looking car, but I hate those wheels. Not only are they bad, but they aren't 16''.

I am going to wait about another year and get either an '03+ LX Sport or a Marauder. By then, prices should probably fall a little bit more. And than I'll be able to keep the '99 too.

I want an '03 plus now, but there are no Sports around. That's why I almost jumped to the '02. I would much rather have an '03+ or Marauder. The '02 handled very nice, though. And had only 25K miles.

Well, at least you didn't buy a car you wouldn't be totally happy with. I am glad you made the decision. However, you should still keep your eye out for an '03+ LX Sport or Marauder in the area...you never know, and maybe even a good buy!

There is a black '03 Marauder for sale in Mount Vernon. It's a private sellers. Asking price is $20,900 with 46K miles.

I noticed it has the missing badge on the grille. Possible MM.net memeber? Doesn't Wagonmaster live in the Mount Vernon area?

01 Interceptor
09-08-2005, 11:58 PM
Why, yes he does. I can't remember if he had a badgeless grille or not. I'm pretty sure that if it was his, he might have mentioned it on here.

Looks like there is waterfront behind the car. No license plate bracket. Maybe they used a doner picture for the ad.

I ran down the phone number and it doesn't belong to anyone we know from here.

To all those on the North side, I will probably be there early as the Seattle 7s are meeting at the Starbucks at 11. I haven't seen those guys in awhile, but it's not even 5 minutes away from the XXX. So if I'm not at Albertson's, I'm already in Issaquah! ;)

So what time would you be at Albertson's if you do make it there? Seattle squad meeting at Northgate at what time?

Probably meet @ Northgate at 11:30 AM. I think everyone should be at Triple X by 12 noon.

I washed my car today and started waxing it too. So far, I'll I've waxed is the hood and two front fenders. :D

Let's see...

Washed - Check
NXT - Maybe Sat Am?
128th Albertsons - Sat 11am??
Northgate - Sat 11:30am???
XXX - Noon

or maybe speed it up a quarter to half an hour to get out to XXX a little before Noon??? Or just skip Albertsons and head straight to Northgate...any way is ok by me.

Any other Northsiders or from more northern points heading down to XXX?

Since John is a possible no show at Albertson's, I plan to head to Northgate ETA 11:15 AM.

Just finished fussing with the MM detailing for tomorrow. I'm really diggin' my updated garage. It used to be just sheet rock and two incandescent lights (low watt $$ savers at that). Now white gloss latex paint with (4) dual 75 watt fluorescents set up as a rectangle using (2) 8 footers & (2) 4 footers. Its like daylight in there. :D Kept the low watters for everyday use.

Will be picking up the various shelving units Sunday. Then I'll be ready for the House Beautiful photographers (or was that Garage Beautiful?).
