Check out one of TAF's pics from ATL:

Yep, that's Sarge's car on the left, mine's on the right, and the SHO is the meat of the sandwich. (MM03MOK, so TAF was right: that is my car with the dish hood ornament:)
We got in really late Friday and overslept Saturday. I'm trying to rally the wife and kids and it's like herding cats. Anyway, I go out to check the weather and I see a man dressed in black getting into that IL plated Marauder. I figured it has to be Sarge, so I rush back into the room. "I just saw Sarge! Sarge is staying here too!" I get nothing but blank looks from the family. "You know, the guy with the SUPERCHARGED Marauder I've been telling y'all about!" My oldest son comes and looks a few minutes later but Mac and the KB Marauder are gone. Um - OK - Dad's lost it.
A little while later I look out and a row of Marauders is at the back of the parking lot. I see a red one at the end I rush back, "There's a red one out there! A whole line of Marauders - and a RED ONE!" [red is Sandra's favorite color] By this time the kids are in the lobby having breakfast. When Sandra gets ready we go look and guess what? They were all gone. Yep, Dad's lost it for sure.
We're running so late that we missed dinner, then breakfast, now all the Marauders are gone. It's a little after 10 so I go check out and ask for directions to Team Ford. When we pull into the parking lot at the dealer there are NO MARAUDERS! I'm starting to panic. We drive around the side, to the back, and they really think I'm crazy now. Then we see our first Marauder parked in the lot. Then another, and another. Then the SC Marauder Dennis brought. Eureka! So I park right near Bob Mathis' SC Marauder and it feels like I'm home. Vindicated!
Anyway: sorry for the long and rambling post. Just a long-winded way to say that my entire little family had fun. And it was definitely worth the trip.
