So I had the Marauder cleaned up from a show and shine I attended last Friday and was still pretty clean. The woman and I were out running errands in it and were driving to our first stop.....we were sitting at a light and this guy in a Tahoe pulls up next to us.....the light is red and we are sitting for at least a minute and the guy never took his eyes of my car:beer:....light turned green we went and he still sat there staring as I moved along....by the time he decided to go we were about 6 or 7 car lengths ahead of him.....and he almost missed the green light....:shake:.
As we continued on our journey we encountered several more prying eyes and a few :2thumbs: .
Then at our last stop at the convience store there were two guys standing out side adding brake fluid to another car in the lot. One guy motions for me to step on the gas for him, then he comes up to my passenger window and said.."Im trying to tell this guy what you have there, would you mind steping on the gas and showing him?" So I obliged and hit the pedal a couple of times....then when we left down the street I let them really hear what it sounds like as I left down the road.:burnout:
Oh how I love this car!!:coolman:

yea this is funny also. i came to a stop light where a main road is my cross road. the first set of eyes was a lady that was turning in my direction. 2nd set or should i say two sets was a big rig moving very slowly across. the passenger was looking hard and the driver was almost on top of the passenger looking as well. then the fourth set was a passenger that almost twist his head around. then the fifth was almost the same as the last guy. that was five sets of eyes in about just over 1min. i cant even think of how many eyes when i dont notice lol. ps my car is very dirty maby it was the new set of 255 55 420s :)

Oooh, oooh...I've got a story too!
As of today, I've had my MM for two months now.
Story #1: It was early April, (still had my New Mexico temp tag in rear window) I was driving home from work. I had a very bad day and was just wanting to get home; I was at a stoplight and heard someone yell 'hey!' (had my windows down). I thought, "oh great, WTF now?" I turn my head and it's a couple brothers in a car next to me on the left, a little behind me. My first thought was "what the hell do they want?...just leave me the ****** alone!" They then began to say how great my car looked, where I got it, etc. etc. It definitely put a smile on my face and changed my mood completely.
Story #2: It was a couple days after story #1 (still had temp tag). I was on my way from Asheville, NC back to my house. It was after I drove through Columbia that I came up on a green Mustang, I would guess early 2000's model. They were cruising a little slower than me, so I pulled over and gradually passed them. About 2-3 mins later, I notice they are coming up on my ass, so I thought "Oh great, this dumbazz wants to race or try to show me up or do something stupid". I wasn't in the mood for such antics, just wanted to cruise at 80 and enjoy the ride. So, as they pull up beside me, I see it's a woman driving and a dude in the passenger seat. He's got his arm out the window, giving me a thumbs up. I roll down my window, and try to talk, but the wind was just too much to overcome. I did catch him say, 'that's a beautiful car, man!'. He gave me another thumbs up as I closed my window. I dropped the hammer and pushed it up to 95 for a couple of seconds and then went back to cruisin' at 80.
I get head turns all the time. If I had a nickel everytime I saw it happen, I would have enough money to get all the mods I want done!

I was driving back from the bank one afternoon and I pulled up next to a Nissan Frontier with a lift and big mudder tyres. His truck was covered in 2" of mud and I was looking at it as I came to a stop. He must have been watching me as I pulled up 'cause he gives me the window down motion. So I think I see something I don't like I'm gone through the red light. (Other road isn't usually busy but has a long green for some reason). So I roll down the PS window and the guys like "Is that a Marauder?" and I confirm it is. So we chatted for a minute or so. I wanted to know where he goes boggin' in NJ and as it turned out his friend has a farm and they were out messin' around before they plowed it up for the seasons plantings.
I drive with the fogs on only when I go anywhere in it so as to separate myself from the GM's and Vics. Those in the know recognise it as an MM quick.:)
