How many marauders are in your neighborhood?

In my neighborhood there is another Black Marauder I seen the gauge and it had 2000 KMS on it :cool:

I'm the original first around here, I've seen one other one and talked to the owner, also carded him and told him about this awesome site, but he never replied on this site.......that was about a year ago.:shake:

Also on Ft.Stewart, theres a Soldier that has one but I could never catch up with him, very elusive....haven't seen him around in awhile either. Maybe he's back in Iraq.:confused:

So it's just little ole me.:alone:

Including my own, there are 6 near me. There's me, Blackmobile, a SB driven by a doctor, a DTR that I carded and saw at Tower Shops, a black MM from MD that has 60k+ and another black one driven by an *********.

Including my own, there are 4 in Coral Springs. There's me, Blackmobile, a SB driven by a doctor, and a black one driven by an *********.
Awesome, How did the "*********" get his name?

No others in my immediate neighborhood.... the place is littered with Honda Accords, Toyota Camrys, Lexei, Infinitiies, SUVs and minivans. I think that there are 2 Black MM in the eastern part of the county but they are not members here to my knowledge. There is also the DTR that belongs to Sherm but I have no idea where he puts it to bed.... somewhere out west near Manassas I think.

In my old town there was one black not a member anywhere?:rolleyes:

2 with the vinyl top treatment:):P

Where I live now .........nothing but F-350 diesel SD . I love the smell of diesel in the morning:help:

The sense of smell is one of the most potent and durable memory stimuli. Yes, the smell of deisel in the morning reminds me of the construction equipment site and my early days in the Army. I like it too. :help:

N.... the place is littered with Honda Accords, Toyota Camrys, Lexei, Infinitiies, SUVs and minivans.

.... There is also the DTR that belongs to Sherm but I have no idea where he puts it to bed.... somewhere out west near Manassas I think.

Hahahaham, Lexei...

How true though, this place is soooooo littered with imports, I mean, to each his own but it's a status symbol around here and I always get people going "I can't BELEIVE you bought an American car!" WTF?

Sherm's shop is at the Occoquan marina, I think he lives around Woodbridge/Dumfries, I know he followed/passed/followed/passed me from BK to Bristow and kept going when I turned off. :D Dang that car sounded good!

There's a few I've seen around here, not sure where they live. Merc6 isn't too far away, next would probably be you Charlie, then merc, then probably my folks...

One other in my county (Baker) that I haven't been able to snag.
It's a black one, and always dirty.
I's almost comical, I see his car at a diner, and plan on stopping by, but by the time I come back he's gone.
This with a county population of 24k...

I am surprised at how many, now that I count them.

Within one mile of my address, I have met and made good friends of "TurboErnie", "Mike" and "Michael Ward". Within 10 miles, "Zack", and within 20 miles, "Chapel1". (Do I count Zack as two? he owns two Marauders...)

There are three additional Marauders within the one-mile limit I run across regularly, and two more from within 10 miles who come to our Chicken Runs (so, they read here, yes?) but don't post. I have spoken to each at least one time, about us here. They have not respond. There was also one other dude who was just plain rude, but I can't say he is from around here. I just ran across him once in a parking lot.

TurboErnie and I (now) are SB paint, "Mike Ward" and the two "run silent, run deep" Chicken Run attendees are DTR, the rest mentioned are the native black.

Guess I should include the SB of WSmylie from FL., ya never know where Bill is going to show up...

Hope I remembered everyone...

I was being a smart azz with that remark:P

The boys in the neighborhood leave for work between 5-7 AM I am awoke each morning to the sound of diesel, when I walk outside to get the paper I can smell it in the air:rolleyes: I work till Midnight or later:help:


Last week I was driving the marauder so I made sure to "tip" the throttle before I park. 3AM in the morning I saw lights come in a few houses:rofl:

Now thing are nice in the morning;)

There are none in my immediate neighborhood - except mine, of course.

Three of us at work drive black 2003 Marauder 300As, but one is currently for sale. :(

I really don't see a whole lot of Marauders, but oddly enough, I went to the gun show the other day at the Reliant Arena in Houston and I saw three Marauders in the parking lot and two on the way home. Five Marauders in one day is by far the most I've ever seen (short of a car show/meet/get-together).

I guess Marauder owner's are gun nuts, too? ;)

10-16-2006, 05:20 PM
I've seen one other but it's in the city next to mine. My city is like most of yours
Many ricers. Lots of Bemers and Mercedes. Each one faster than the other. Or
so they think. Only see a couple at the drags though so they confine their racing to the streets.

10-16-2006, 05:42 PM
Here on base there are two for sure...mines and Merc6...there are a few CAMer's near by though. And Charlie, you cannot forget those darned BMW's. They are freaking everywhere, with the M3 leading the pack with the numbers. When I get the exhaust in I will be hunting 3's, win or lose...I am going to run a few of them...on a private track of course.:coolman:

You're right William .... Now how did I forget the BMW (M3 and M4 and Boxster), Mercedes and Porsche contingent. My favorite is the Porsche Cayenne SUV. It may be fast .... but it can't outrun ugly. :rofl: That's JMHO.

As far as I know there are about 7 Marauders in the city of San Antonio or its surrounding areas.....3 are members of this site....Me, Lance, and Charlie who is the newest member....he drives a DTR but has never posted. I just carded another today....a lady in a Black 03 with paint issues....

I guess I'm in that 20 mile radius too Mac. I counted 14 at the last Chicken run.

As far as in my town, there's one that I've carded and talked to, Black of course. I told him about our chicken runs and sent him an e-mail about our last one but I got no response

usafsniper
10-16-2006, 07:31 PM
None...used to be a black one but I never met the owner. Haven't seen it in a long time. Other than that, it's a long line of 300Ms or Cs, Dodge Chargers, Ford Mustangs and Ford F150's and of course...GTO's.

Specifically neighborhood?
2.

A few miles to the west Mike and Mark, whom I haven't heard from all summer. (I hope all is well).

And a fellow a few country blocks that I have never met, (he never showed at EAM-3). Ironically Jessica has seen him several times, and once carded and spoke with him.

Within 30 miles:
9.

In my neighborhood there are 3 Marauders. An older lady who drives a black with a spoiler. I approached her at a gas station about a month or so before I got mine. I was driving my 99 CV and I asked her if she wanted to sell it. She laughed and said "not this car" and laughed some more. Then drove off. I felt like she thought I was probably just some young kid who had no idea how her mighty marauder compared to my little cv. When I got mine I was sure to leave some nice marks a few houses down from her, hopefully she sees my beast prowling the streets now and remembers that once "clueless kid". Now mine is the mightiest marauder with #119 whining under the hood.

The other Marauder is a silver that a middle aged guy owns. He has waved at me a few times. Once I saw him pulling up to a pizza restaurant nearby and I hurried in and pulled next to him. As he was getting out I hopped out to hopefully meet a new marauder pal but he just looked at me and walked off. Keep in mind we were the only two cars on this side of the lot. Coincidence that another MM just pulled up for pizza...I think not. :mad2: Some people just either arent friendly or dont really realize what they are driving.

The only other Marauder related experience that Ive had in my neighborhood involved a friend of mine. His fathers friend owned a MM. I dont see it anymore but I always admired his car anytime I saw it at my friends house. My mother even stopped him one day and asked him to sell it to her son. Anyways he stopped by when I was cleaning it one day and congratulated me on the choice that I made and told me I had one hell of a car for someone my age. :D

Only 1 other in my small town, a DTR that belongs to my mom! :D She really likes her car and I must say alot of the teenagers get a kick out of her when she makes the tires talk (as she says).:) There are 3 others in my county for a total of 5, that I know of.

SSM has 91 members at my last look, several in the greater Tampa Bay area but except for infrequent meets (we don't seem to be able to get regular meets going for some reason I don't understand) I rarely see a MM. Rumor has it that someone in Lakeland (10 miles) has 2 and I sent a card home with the Ford Tech that lives next door but never heard anything. I recently carded a pretty black at Smokey Bones in Lakeland but again no response.
every where I go locally my car is an attraction as MM just aren't seen very often. The Highway Patrol has some and I have seen a DTR involved in traffic control south on I75 a little and I saw a black in bound at D. Donuts in Brandon as I was headed out. Other than that Zip in 2 years. I recently drove Fl to Maine and back, saw one a black in the White Mountains of NH. We is rare AND elusive. :D Dennis

:( I have been in Rochester for a little over three months and only saw one other MM and he was passing through. Before I moved here from Texas I lived in a town with a population of 60K and there were 4 MM's in that one town. Three blacks (including mine) and one DTR.

Safety Harbor is a small community adjacent to Clearwater. There is one other Black MM just down the road from me. I pulled in his driveway one day to meet him, and we chatted for a while. I know he reads the board, but I don't know if he posts. He was a nice guy, and his MM was totally stock. Infrequently, I see others around the Tampa bay area. I saw Smokie's at Pass-a-Grille beach twice, and I've seen 1 DTR, 1 SB, 1 Blue and that's about it. I've lived here 1 year.

rhode island is so small, it could be categorized as a neighborhood!
i only know of 4 in ri... myself,paul casey, wczepl (bill) and a non member . i heard there was a twenty something guy that used to work on the fishing boats out of quonset point that had a black one that he beat on relentlessly.. maybe paul or bill know of more and will chime in but as far as i know thats it...3 black and 1 dtr .i m guessing there are more but i havent seen them...

In this particular area of Georgia, I've got the only one with Georgia plates. I've seen a SB driven by a (ahem) more mature lady, but it had Tennessee plates (Hamilton County).

I've been to the local cruise ins, and have yet to see another MM at one of them. I've only seen the SB referenced above twice, no other DTR, no black, no blue.

I'll be at another show this weekend (as a judge), so we'll see if any show up from the Rome area.

:D

I think there are two Black ones running around Buffalo somewhere. My Wife sees one an old Veteran drives and parks in the Handicapped lot at the V.A. Hospital she works at. I suspect the sales man talked him into that one...

I am in Rochester a LOT. Haven't seen anyone around.

I met a guy in a Black Marauder back in April....he had just gotten it...I was on my way to a Chuck's cruise I carded him but he never came on the site that I am aware of.....he works for ETS Lindgren....dont know what it is but its in Cedar Park....some where in your area....

My town has 3 blacks, a blue and my SB. Nobody on this forum. One of the blacks is owned by a kid at the Ford dealership. Another black is owned by a family and is in very poor repair. The other two are owned by really old people who (i think) have no idea what they own...they give me funny looks when I wave at them.

Funny thing, I just saw a S/B MM driven by a blonde 2 blocks from my house at 75th and Lemont Rd. in Downers Grove. Never saw this one b/4.

11-14-2006, 06:20 PM
Well, 4 or 5 in RI. But, the way I travel around, I tend to consider from the Mississippi and east my neighborhood. I've probably seen more than 100. There's the Atlanta gang, the New England gang, the guys out on Lon Guylan, the Tennesseans, the Alabamians, the Greater Chicago guys. I'll get to the rest of you soon, even the ones way out in Washington state! Oh yeah, almost forgot the CAMers. All good people I might add.

11-14-2006, 07:27 PM
There's a few I've seen around here, not sure where they live. Merc6 isn't too far away, next would probably be you Charlie, then merc, then probably my folks...

Don't forget me in Purcellville! I saw you coming back from the Summer Thunder Cruise in on Rt. 7 in July.

As for the "neighborhood" part, I guess Bluerauder and Breadfan can agree that Northern VA is pretty huge. I've seen MMs all over, Oakton, Herndon, Leesburg, Dulles Airport etc... So if you're talking neighborhood as in where I commute to/from work and other places on the weekend, then I'd say quite a few Marauders here.

But in my little hamlet of Purcellville, I believe I'm the only owner.
