Does anyone still daily drive their Marauder?

I guess seasonal works, but no sunny day drivers or "its my nice car" Daily driver is the description.

Ok I still DD mine with 210,000 on the clock.

Who else?

Can't say everyday due to gas costs but most days in the summer. If I had your HP Dom, I would rock that beast everyday!

I drive mine as much as possible. BUT, I do like to share DD responsibilities with my 93 Silverado (just turned 90k with super cold ac). Hopefully, soon, I can throw in a day a week driving the Mustang, too (in sig, but needs some dyno tuning...a/f issues after mods).

I don't want to DD it, but I do. Bought it a year ago, I've added 20k so far.

It's a daily in that I either drive it or my 2007 Mustang every day. The Marauder is not garaged and I drive it in any weather (unlike the Mustang). 201,000 miles and still going strong. I probably put between 5-6000 miles a year on each car.

I've been driving my Taurus almost every day for the past month, besides taking the MM to a local car show this past weekend. After getting a tune for my Taurus I really enjoy driving it a lot more and getting almost 24 mpg with the AC on and in a AWD vehicle.

I bought the MM new on April 1,2003--- been my only car since. Always garaged ( a/ c garage). 148,000 + and still getting miles of smiles---- hope to drive it til they take my license at age 99 . Have exceeded 250,000 on previous GM s. I believe this is my 12 th or 13 th Mercury 4 door with the largest engines available that year. Loved them all. Drive safely, but. with Gusto !!!!! Maury

I believe daily driver means everyday.... despite the weather or month. The way I look at it.. if u don't drive the car 24/7 365 u don't have a daily driver. Dom prides himself on driving his car everyday, not just driving but enjoying his car everyday (im assuming that from all his previous post about driving his car all the time, that's the assumption I've come to. May be incorrect)
I purchased mine 3 1/2 years ago with 26k on the clock... Now I'm at 140k. Drive it everyday.... Everyday. Thought about getting a daily but said... F it. That's why I keep "Juice's" quote as my signature.
Until it gets stolen or totalled out or the motor falls out the bottom I will put miles on it everyday. By choice, not by circumstances.

Thanks, I would like to have another MM, Silver to match my truck but running out of room to park. Don't like them on the street but got no choice right now. Wife's new(at that time)2010 Lexus LS460 & '82 Vette bought new & restored in '05 sits in garage. Since I live in a lottery state I wish they would get the numbers right very soon. I get the numbers right each time I buy a ticket...then I could have a 6 car garage:cool:

Nope!

I work in dirt, mud, and I am not putting the Marauder through that. Mine is #232 of 328. It does not need that kind of abuse to prove it is a daily driver and I can not just go out and find another DPB Marauder with relatively low miles. She comes out on days when I am in the office all day, must not be raining and the boys do not have baseball practice where you drive 1/2 mile down a dirt road. I bought her with 32K ~2.5-3 years ago and she turned 71K this week.

My other vehicle is the truck, 2004 Crew Sierra Z71 with 164K on the original motor. It serves as the vacation vehicle, work vehicle, and bad driving day vehicle.

Of the approximately 850 days I've had my MM, I can probably count on just one hand the number of days it hasn't been driven. :burnout:

I split driving duties between the Marauder and Mach 1. My gf DD's the Marauder during the winter and I drive the Mach, the Marauder is easier to drive in the snow, even with gears, trilogy, convertor, etc.

It's not that far to the bus garage from my house:)

2 months short of 11 years and 71K on the clock!

Hell the 18 year old F-150 only has 87K on it. Nice being close to work.

I drive my 300A (62,000 miles) most of the time because it's cheaper to drive than my '12 Ram 3500 4X4... I park it when the snow flies though (that's what the Ram's for).

Oh it's so tempting to drive it daily! (And I did up until 2009 and 100,000 miles.) Then I bought an Aviator as my DD. Yes I know I could prolly get another Marauder if mine crapped out, but I'm so attached to this one I ordered brand new from our local Ford dealer in 2003. It's the best car I've ever owned and I want it to last a long, long time.

I bought my DTR in Oct, 2010 with the intent that it would be a 'D D'...but then with only 21,000 on it when I got it...and when I took a year or more to clean (not much necessary actually) every square inch of it underneath and all the rest...well..I do not drive it daily but I surely do enjoy it when I do get it out and about.
Great car. I just keep doing things to make it better when I can...silly person that I am.

Howdy Maury!

Sorry I have been such a stranger the last few years... I was working away from home all over the planet and racking up miles on the Marauder!

I'm back home in Texas now and the car has 127,000 miles on it. I still drive it every day, except when my wife lets me drive her Lincoln. I will be around a lot more now and would love to participate in some NTM events! I'll be in touch!

Even though the SRT8 has 470 stock HP, he still finds the MM a thrill to drive. :bows:
