*Zips up flame suit* I actually love the blue even more after seeing one in person. Black was my first choice. Followed closely by blue, then silver, red was last. But that's what I actually ended up with and it really is growing on me plus with my car's background story and it's near showroom condition I do love my DTR.

It was weird though because my fiancé and I met up with a members silver on Saturday; and I was telling both of them how I'd never seen a blue in person but wanted one. I don't know who got more excited seeing it yesterday; her or me. But blue with light flint is an amazing combo in my opinion.

I asked the same thing ^^^^ when the dealer called me back in October 2003. Made him check that it wasn't a GM and told him to hold it for me and I'd be there in 45 minutes. Came home with mine the same day. :)

I seen a blue Marauder in Winnipeg twice also,It looked brand new & sounded stock.
470 were for Canada out of the 11,052 but I was wondering how many Blues,DTRS & Silvers were in the 470 . :canada:

I see a DBP around where I live every once and a while. The color I never see is DTR unless I'm at an MM function.

Just saw my first DTR today. It was totaled in a wrecking yard. Salvaged a center cap and the driver's door switch bezel from it.

Same here....

A friend of mine who was on vacation, called me in late summer of '03 and said that he was following a BLUE Marauder down Ocean City Highway!
I said....NFW!....they only come in Black!!
He swore that he was not smoking anything funny nor hallucinating.
I didn't see one in person until I attended a CAMmer meet at Big Bats.

I didn't know they came in blue till I started looking for mine...the pics of it were so awful I thought someone painted it. Saw my first one in person at the April Meet last year when Barry pulled up and I was like...:eek: then the sun hit it...:drool:

As some of you know I truly wanted a black one (and I know it pissed some of you off, sorry)................ I missed out on a really nice and modded black 03 and I was bitching about it in the driveway with my dad having a beer and he said, "you wouldnt want a blue one would you"? I said WHAT, where did you find a blue one? The rest is history. LOVE MY DBP/DC MM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just realized I forgot the word "lucky" in my previous post, I should never drink and mm.net;)... and you're right, but it's been an interesting journey to say the least, somedays I love it, others I want to drive it through front wall of a certain so called marauder expert's shop.

I was working on getting a blue one before I found my silver. I didn't realize the dealership was open until 9 central time...it sold in less than 3 hrs...

I'm still looking for one. And people think i'm paranoid about my silver getting hurt...

"Big Bats" was a Sports Bar & Grill in Stevensville, MD (Kent Island -- just over the Chesapeake Bay bridge). CAM used to meet there on a monthly basis in 2004-2005 because it was kinda centrally located to accommodate some of the Delmarva members. As demographics changed, the location started shifting to other locations within the CAM region.

Here are some pics from one of the largest meets at Big Bats on 10 July 2004. How many members do you recognize? Haggis, Ladyhawke, Steven Soulsby and Ligouri, Brutus and Jewels, MarauderMark and MarauderPeg, Murauder03, BigDogJim, Bluerauder and S.O.B., Mad3-R and Tasha, GordonB and Joan, Merc and Pam.

Never been in that area before. We need to come up with a long weekend meet in that area. :)

CAM hasn't met at "Big Bats" since June 2005. Bert's 50s Diner is a little more convenient for the annual meet. Even "Red Brick Station" is about 40 minutes closer (than Big Bats) to the New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York folks.

You and Ms. Denmark should plan a weekend outing to Annapolis, MD and we could meet up for a nostalgia trip over the bridge to Big Bats with some other CAMers.
