Last fall my wife and I were out for a nice evening dinner near Burlington, VT.. On the way home we accessed interstate 89 on a nice S-turn on-ramp where I like to push the Marauder through the turns at speed. In the rear view I noticed a car doggin' my tail --basically pushin' me. Naturally I obliged and punched the throttle hard in the turns, the 4.6L growled nicely as the tach swung past 4K, we launched into light traffic on the interstate-- my wife giggling--she knew it was ON !! And here comes the dude in back of me--swinging into the left lane --pulling up along side--a yuppy--in a friggin' BMW 550i !!!! He looked over--grinned and gave us a "thumbs up". We sailed down the interstate side-by-side for half a mile before I let the pedal off the floor board, because we were in "radar trap" land. However I was beaming ear-to-ear, my wife chiming in with the " You men " !! That BMW 550i was the V8 version, an 06' I think, and defintely had more ponies than my MM.
Now I need a change from the 3.55 rear end to the 3.73, a K&N cold air intake, and a nice tune, then pray for another encounter with that BMW. :coolman:
