Good afternoon, Ladies and Gents!

I test drove a DTR '04 MM Thursday night and took delivery Friday afternoon, so it looks like I've got the second DTR MM in the group. She's the same car bigslim posted pics of earlier, bought right off the patio where he shot the pics, w/heated seats and 6-disk CD changer. She's been on the roads of Metro Detroit all weekend, and is exactly the spectacular ride everyone's been talking about! I traded a '98 Corvette for her, and don't miss the Vette a bit, especially considering the artillery-practice roads in SE Michigan. I think DTR will prove a worthy and popular substitute for Pearl Blue.
I've noticed that the hot Mustangs and Camaros around here ignore the MM, but all manner of Cadillacs and Olds Auroras can't resist challenging, and can't avoid being dusted by Dearborn's medium bomber. Even a BMW 7-series took a shot on a busy interstate, and had the luck the Luftwaffe had with the B-26s of yore (i.e. not much - the Marauder had the lowest loss rate in the ETO).
I've been lurking for a while, and now I hope to be a familiar tag line - and face, if I can make the get-togethers! Nice to meet y'all!

Welcome aboard! And be sure to check into the Motor City Marauders forum. We are getting organized and try to meet as often as possible. Not much going on this week, a couple of us are going to Ennis this week. But I will be at Russ Milne this wednesday night for a cruise in.

Welcome Rex. I hope to meet you sometime in the near future. I know some of the guys meet on Sundays at Wild Woodys on Gratiot in Roseville. I know Geno will be trying to get guys together on Thursdays at Duggans on Woodward. As it was stated earlier, we are trying to gather more guys for the Motor City bunch. It will be nice to have a red one there.

Good to have you with us Rex. I look forward to seeing you around. Will your MM be a daily driver?

Thanks for the friendly greetings!
Yes, she'll be my daily driver - until the snow flies. I'm going to try to keep her away from the salt.

Rex- congrats on the DTR- and smokin' the comp. These babies stock will do you proud. I've got two M3's an M5 and a whole lotta rice cakes- smoked a DTS caddy coming back from Florida- did a 745 at the same time... depends on the level of the driver, and even with the good ones- sometimes they never see it comin'!
Have fun...
