In Jan 07, I lost the DTR in a wreck, in which her Panther safety saved my life. I walked away with minor friction burns from the airbags, and a small cut on my face where the side airbag went off and launched the cruzers rest armrest into my head. There was not a straight panel left on her. Front airbags deployed, Side Driver Bag deployed, Lower control arm and tie rod broke, roof buckled, axle moved over and rt tire sidewall was rubbing against the frame, every rim was trashed, every panel was damaged.

Today is a year anniversary that I titled the Blue MM in my name, formerly owned and cared for by Jimlam56 and then before that, Cowagonmaster, both who I have informed that "Ol Blue" will live a pampered life under a Wolf Car cover.
Well its a year later. I've filled her up TWO times, and changed her oil twice. This fall, I put her in the air and cleaned everything underneath, she's almost as clean as the blue MM in the for sale section. The brake rotor hats are still shiny black!
Last year, I got to enjoy her 797 miles. Her odometer reads 10,8XX Miles!
Jim, here's ol blue, pretty much like the day you let me adopt her! I've added a tune, intake, 4" tips, and an AVIC Nav Unit, other than that, she lives an easy life!

I have too many other cars to drive. If I want to drive the MM, I have to move the 3 cars behind it out of the way, besides, I just like looking at her!
:drool:
Maybe I need to buy a 'beater' marauder to drive every day....

I remember the day it was loaded onto the car carrier, with a tear in my eye...twas a dark and stormy night...
Wes, give me a call when you get a chance.
By the way, Blue looks great!

Don't know about smart, cuz the Silver came first.
Already bought and sold a Black too...hmmm, DTR...Hmmm...
Wes, I put 10 times the mileage on the Black one between June and December 07 as you did on Blue.
Must be nice to know you own the nicest Blue in existence!:P

The Louisville, Kentucky meet coming up 4-6 April 2008 may be the largest gathering ever of Blue MMs. In fact, blues may outnumber any of the other colors there this year. The most that I have ever seen is 5 at MV III/WDC in August 2005.

An airconditioned garage is a bad thing?

ha! Jim is a smart man. sold the blue for a silver. smart man :up:
Actually he had the silver before the blue, and didnt want to subject the mint condition blue to daily driver duty, so keeping the car's future in mind, sold it to wes to receive a solid year of sitting in the garage getting kissed and tucked into the car cover every night
:lol:

Yep, and I'm looking forward to getting them all together for a group picture.
What's the count up to so far?
