I'm sorry to inform all of you but my marauder is destroyed...I can't believe it...Hit a patch of ice today on a service road on sunrise hwy the ass kicked out hit the guard rail and flipped it up side down....I had to crawl out backwards out of the passenger side window...the worst part of it was watching the tow truck drag it across the road till it turned over...but at the same time the car saved my life...I walked out with out a scratch...good luck to all of you.

The term "winter car", sounds good around now.

Driving a Marauder in the winter is foolish. Particularly on stock summer tires.

Works for me. After3 years I finally got a beater Bronco for a winter driver. :)

On one hand it's great news hearing that the car protected you from harm, sad to hear she sacrificed herself in the process.

Glad to hear you are OK but I wouldnt have dared taking the Marauder out in the horrid weather we had yesterday. Even my FWD daily driver was all over the road.

Good to hear that your OK German.

That scenario plays out every year with our cars. A year or so back a stock DTR hit an patch of black ice on a bridge in our area and careened into the abutment. Totaled out, no injuries however. The big car will protect when you use the seat belts.

Sorry to hear about your accident, but equally glad to hear you walked away okay. If you landed upside down I am sure you will be sore for a few days, so take it easy. Hopefully the insurance gods will be kind and you can get another MM.

Now that right there explains why I was willing to go into car debt again to trade up the wife from a Mustang to a Marauder.

Glad you are OK, and realize how sturdy the panther platform is. If you can't get into another MM, think crown vic or grand marquis.

Sorry to hear about the bad news:shake:. But the most important news, is that you were saved and not hurt badly. Take care bro!

I second this. My Marauder stays PARKED on really bad weather days.
It may be a GREAT car but it is still "one-of-a-kind".

Glad to hear that you are okay.
This is what REALLY matters most.
Marauders aren't that hard to find.
If you are having trouble, just drop one of us an email or PM.
We can ALWAYS find a Marauder somewhere.

My salesperson was showing me a Black 2003 that was on his list of used cars.
He may still have it available !!!

Dont think so, i do know of one that flipped down a hill and took out 7 trees.


Glad you ok, yet driving a panther you should know that your always ok.

Glad to hear your cool...these damn cars will take a hit. I will buy nothing but a Panther. Whether it is a town car or a vic, Nothing compares to a panther platform car. Ask a LEO

Recall the one where the guy was carjacked with his own gun from the back seat and was driving really fast and flipped over and he walked away and the perp got away before the cops came and it was a big mess and his car was flipped over cause they didn't make the exit ramp because he had a gun and never saw who it was and he got away after the car wrecked and flipped over ?

Remember the story of the Michigan owner having the perp ring the doorbell and demand the keys to the MM? All at gunpoint?
IIRC, a little girl answered the door :eek:
