Well, I was on my way to work today and actually saw another Marauder on the road. It was a nice black Marauder, factory wheels on it, and rear window were tinted. I was getting off of I-80 West bound in West Des Moines at the Jordan Creek Parkway exit (previously 74th Street). I got off, turn left going back up over the interstate and there, at the stop light for the East Bound exit off the interstate was the above black Marauder.
Was it anyone on here? Car looked good. I really wish I had access to a lift or something to make it easier to put the stock wheels/tires back on as they look so good. Oh well, hopefully only a couple more months with the CVPI steel wheels and snow tires.

I didn't use a lift either. I had to drive home in 6 inches of snow on the first snow storm (which was supposed to be "no accumulation"). Jacked the car up in the garage and put the winter wheels and tires on. Since then have had about half a dozen snow days, but nothing for the last 30+ days. If it was a little easier (or I wasn't so lazy), I would put the stock wheels back on for this nicer weather. But then my luck I would get caught out in another snow storm with them on and not the winter wheels/tires. I guess I just need to be patient, deal with the steelies on there, and look forward to the nice weather!

I have yet to polish the wheels, but I do wipe them down each time I was the car and have actually put tire dressing on the winter tires :rolleyes:

Well, I saw the car on the way to work again today at the exact same spot. Saw that it does have the factory style spoiler (I have got to get one of those) and it was an attractive looking blonde female driving the car. Saw today that she was turning the same direction I was heading, but no idea where from there...
I need to get some of the Marauder cards to "card" people when I see the few here in Central Iowa. Where does one get those cards at?
