Shepherd Lincoln/Mercury Open House Pictures! * * DUW * *

[MI2QWK4U]

We all had a GREAT time today at the open house car show. We had a number of Marauders there as usual. Armand (Mr Continental) joined the club today for the first time as well as 2 other Marauder owners new to us that stopped buy and joined in. The dealership welcomed us warmly and fed us all day! They were suprised when we Introduced Steve Babcock to them as the Program Manager and man that made the Marauder happen! The weather couldn't have been nicer to top things off. This is the official kick off of what will be a spectacular summer of events, friends, and Marauders here in the Motor City!

Post up your pics guys!

Here are some of the cars lined up in the lot....beautiful sight!

That looks great. You had a beautiful day for it too. I'll make the next one.

[Hotrauder]

Nice day guys thanks for sharing. Any comments from S. Babcock on where you guys have taken his baby? Dennis:)

[jobrien8]

Must echo all the others. Great day, great time with great friends. Sheppard really rolled out the mat.
Dave, you really made Dale's day by letting him park you MM. Said he was afraid to touch the throttle! Thanks.

Awesome weather. Watch out for that Neon! Only really mean Neons have the crooked license plate thing going on.
