Nominations for Marauder of the Month, April 2013

[2,4shofast]

I think it would be a shame to not keep this going so I am going to do my best to keep the ball rolling with this! Just like last month here is your opportunity to show off your Marauder. To hopefully eliminate some of the drama that happened last month, the poll results will remain anonymous until the end of voting. So here we go!

1. Tell us a little about your MM. Stats, build #, mods, any little details that you want.

2. Post up two (2) of your best pics in THIS thread. ONLY two (2).

3. Balloting will be limited to the first ten (10) entries since that's the limit on any Poll voting.

4. Nominations will be open starting 9:00 AM Mountain, Monday, 25 March 2013 and will be open until 9:00 PM Mountain, Thursday 28 March 2013. Only MMs will be considered.

5. Voting will take place on 29-31 March 2013. Voting will be Anonymous (Secret).

6. Winner will be announced on 1 April. :D


I know it is impossible to please everyone, so please keep comments out of this Thread, it will be for nominations only.

You could just post a pic of the parts you are hoarding ,probably enough for a whole car and win.

[IwantmyMMnow!]

All mods/data/numbers are in my sig. Saw one for the first time in 2006 when I was living in Mass...definitely love at first sight.

Have put almost 50K on her since I got her 2 years ago...have enjoyed every mile.

Since I've become an MM owner, the best parts have been joining this website, the friends I have made, and every gathering I've been to. Very proud to be a part of this and to drive a car that's probably 1 of only 1000 out there on the road.

Pics are from Summer & Fall 2012 on the Blue Ridge Parkway....

[Motorhead350]

Zacks car.

Details later.

[JBFTech]

I'll give her another shot!
2004 Marauder
Dark Toreador Red
Moon Roof
Flint Interior
Bought her on 9/10/2012

Mods so far:
K&N air intake
Flowmaster 40 series mufflers
Rear cat delete
Meg's 4" Resonator Delete Tips
Granatelli Hot Street coils
Nitrode Performance spark plugs
J-Mod
Lotek triple pillar
Autometer Water Temp
Autometer Trans Temp
Autometer Boost
Marauder emblems from Marty
Pioneer DD unit
Kicker door and deck speakers

Daily driver, I put at least 60 miles a day on her, and that's only if I go straight to work and straight home, so the average is about 80-90 miles a day. I tried parking her and driving the F150 for a week, didn't happen, can't go for more than a day without the MM. I plan on doing 4.10 or 4.30 gears soon, along with a tune from Mo's, and I'm seriously considering the Class Glass hood. I've been gathering parts for a turbo build, but recently started gathering parts for an Eaton swap, so which route I go depends on what I have all of the parts for at the time, this MM will have boost one way or the other! Lately I've been contemplating throwing on an NX nitrous kit just for the time being, which may very well happen! The mod bug bit me the day I drover her home! I enjoy driving this car more than any other I have owned, and it looks like it will always remain that way. I love the looks I get, the compliments I get, and most importantly the reactions I get when a "grandpa car" walks all over some punk kids ricer or wannabe race car. This car has not only given me extreme driving pleasure, it has brought me to this site and allowed me to meet some great people, all of which I hope to meet in person someday!
