Another Compliment

[tbone]

So, I'm down in Lincoln Park in Chicago. This is a trendy, upscale area in Chicago for those of you not familiar with it. I park in front of an outdoor cafe. While I'm waiting for my wife to get out, an old, black car parker dude came running over to tell me how "sharp" my car is. I said thanks and all that, and would have talked more, but he had to run back over quickly to his job station across the street. Now, after I thought about it for a while, I was thinking that of all the cars this guy sees and gets into everyday, Mercedes, BMW's, Infiniti, Lexus, Cadillac, he takes the time to run over and tell me how sharp my 114,000 mile, dirty (it needed a wash) black 2003 Mercury Marauder is.

Priceless.:banana:

[Ms. Denmark]

Definitely high praise coming from someone like that! :coolman: Can you see him running over and going out of his way for a Lexus? LOL!

[tbone]

Exactly. We own some very cool cars. And getting rarer every day.

Like I told my buddy at work who just got a new camaro SS; before too long his car will be like the old camaro ss's--- a dime a dozen...but a mercury marauder; you might not know what the #### it is, but it will turn your head ...and you will see a marauder once and maybe not again for a year or ever.................

and for the guys who put time and money in their cars I have much respect for you ( sadly, not me---i have owned mine since early 2003 and am still n/a and aspiring for 410 gears (the curse of being too damn cheap)) I feel that anyone can go out and finance a fancy sports car; but how few can have a family 4 door sedan that is safe and can smoke the majority of vehicles on the track.....kudos to you all!!:bows:

Last Saturday I was going into my local Walmart neighborhood store when the guy delivering the bread asked me " Where did you get that sexy thing?" I said "from a wholesaler in Ft Myers."

[wickedmerc]

That's awesome man. You made that guy's day.
My quick compliment story....I was stopped on the entrance road to Raceway Park (Englishtown, NJ) to give my little boys a better look at some monster trucks. This guy coming out of the track shouts "Yo, that ****g car is awesome!" His left arm is giving a thumbs-up out the window of his Escalade, his right holding a cell phone. He's trailering a monster fox-body Mustang. He tells whoever is on the phone, "I just saw 1 of those Marauders... yeah that's the one... black!" It was pretty cool. :coolman:

On sunday me and a buddy tended a demo derby in fernie BC there was a small line up of cars in front of me people were paying to get in, 9 bucks each, when it was my turn to pay he just waved me through and another guy told me to go park over there away from public parking. Hmm I need said anything, it was raining that day probably 2000 people in the stands, where did he tell me to park? Right beside the stands with a non obstructed view of the distruction durby lol while people were all in the rain I was in a nice comfy car lol we figured he thought we were the police.... or the local drug dealers since all the windows on my car are blacked out.

I was at the gas station filling up and two guys walked out of the store and one yelled Marauder! The guy that had a big gulp drink almost fell trying take a look. It was funny.

Also, today a lady asked me are you secret service?

I recently took the wife out on a date. I was opening the door of the Marauder for her when a teen said "That's a sweet car dude." His girlfriend said "and he is a gentlemen too, opening the door for her"

I felt pretty studly.
