Ford Lincoln Merc Dealer quotes me $3300.00 to repair lower right front damage.
He states that the OEM Front Bumper Facia list for $1300.00, OUCH.

I have Collectors Insurance thru American Collectors in Cherry Hill, NJ. w/ a $1K deductible. I'm gonna come clean w/ them & take it on the chin !!


I was running from my angry wife who actually thinks she is my MOMMY, but that's another..........

anyway, I lost her shortly after I broke the sound barrier, Yup lost'em both !
Lost my MOMMY on the striaght away & lost the Marauder trying to brake to turn. Man I was very fortunate, that I only took out a sign. !!!!!!!

Got advice on the repair cost, thanx in advice. One Angry 50 YR. OLD HUSBAND of 22 yrs.

And yet people wonder why I have zero desire to get married. :rolleyes:

Hope you dont get killed in insurance premiums. Next time aim the car toward the problem not away. :D

That's why I have two Marauders setup the exact same way ... it won't matter in which one I make my escape. Although, the AT2525s don't allow for stealth operations.

Thanx for cracking me up, now thats funny ****!

I'll check on the aftermarket parts, thanx for the help.

........so who would have guessed that when all kids are grown & out.....she feels the need to try to tell me what to do, I need NO SUPERVISION.

I will start introducing her as "that's my MOMMY". She lost her mind @ the ol'e age of 52. GO FIGURE ? (beer, music, freedom, & my happiness has become a problem for my MOMMY!.......& I DON'T CHEAT. WTF ?

How long ago did the last one leave the nest? Don't be mad, she needs something to keep her busy. Talk to her, maybe she needs a hobby or something. Maybe there's a local "mommys without kids anymore" group that can nurture the homeless or something. Good luck with the car and her! :beer:

I just recently had to replace the front end of my Marauder due to bumping into one of the "driving dead" in New Jersey.

Coming to a complete stop TWICE in both the merge lane and the acceleration lane was a new technique I was not prepared for. It might be SOP here in NJ...

Anyway, the front bumper cover from a dealer was quoted at $1800.00. Insurance and $499.00 deductible made it all better.

Of all the things my wife has tried to kill me with, she has yet to use a car. :D

Driving in NJ is pretty much a free-for-all. Now driving up in Massachusetts requires you to have one of those kamikaze bandanna's:D

I just got back on line, I've been hiding from Mommy.

You guys got me smiling from ear to ear.........I like the trunk idea & Mommy can't pay for ****, she spent money like she was going to die on Friday, but thats another horror flick.

I went to a friends BBQ over the weekend, I jump in my buddy's car w/ him to make a beer run. That knuckle head backs up right into my parked Marauder !!!
Can a brother get break !!!!! I took it home covered it up & put it to sleep until the smoke clears.............when it rains it .......................WTF.
