Havn't driven since Carlisle,dont know why,Want boost but with the way i procrastinate ,a year to install my 410's for example.That probably means 10 years for an eaton swap.Anybody else ever have this happen?Maybee i should sell it to someone who will enjoy it and look for a boosted.

The only real Marauders are boosted Marauders anyway ;)

I felt that way many times, especially since I use it as a daily driver, a scratch here another dent there and then the AC goes out, the engine ticks etc etc etc. Then every time I do something to repair it I realize how much I like it. I've owned since new so I have a lot of time and emotion vested in it. I must admit that the new challenger is always calling me but the MM is still a great all around car, I see less and less around and I have no payments. Lots to think about. I know guys who get new cars every two to three years and they enjoy each car - just another approach to the hobby (and more costly in the long run ususally).

Any good twisty roads up thar in them Maine woods that aren't all frost heaved. Take the kiddo out on a nice weekend for a romp then go get some ice cream. Your kids smile will make it worth hanging onto the MM, especially if you let him drive.

You should take a road trip down to the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee, North Carolina. Mighty fine roads down there to have some fun on. Just came back from a motorcycle trip this long weekend.

I donated my DTR to Goodwill. But they returned it for a refund. So I'm stuck with it.
Sent from The White House on taxpayers dimes.
DTR + 4.10's + Eaton swap = Wreeeeeeeeeeeeeeedom

After owning the /Marauder and driving it Daily, There is no need to buy and FLIP CARZ any More- These carz are Tried, Trued,and Law enforcement Tested and "MM.net" Tested .The only carz built today are Universal Clones ,-front drive and crazy repair prices when they break or run out of warranty.:violin:

Feeling the same about my 2003 retro TBird.
Just not interested anymore in having two toys, the retro and my 64 Galaxie., plus my two daily drivers.
When I look back a few years ago, I had three toys, Galaxie, retro, and a 58 Squarebird.
Squarebird was the first to go, retro will most likely be next in line.

Luckily, I don't have a long commute and I have 3 cars I can drive. The 86 Gt (nice weather only, no rain), the old Chevy Silverado (any weather, but usually when it's raining or trips to Lowes and spare parts) and the Marauder for the other days. But, for me, everytime I look at it and drive it, it is exciting. The looks and comments from others is great too! Maybe a trip to the track will help! Burnouts, etc... ;) :burnout:

Oh yeah, I feel ya on the Eaton swap. That is how I feel a lot of times. I should have a lot more parts than I do.... But, I tell myself, I am waiting for a Trilogy setup to show up in the meantime, lol. :rolleyes: :P Last, maybe you could buy a car already boosted and then make sure you like it first.;)

My daily driver is a 2013 Dodge Charger SRT8. With 470hp from the factory, it is the fastest car I have ever driven. :bows:
Despite this, every time I go to my Las Vegas home I still find my 03 MM very thrilling to drive. :banana:

You could trade yours for a Procharged car with all the other upgrades and fall in love all over again.

I decided to downshift into first gear while doing 35mph and pass a Prius sitting in a left turning lane. The way the V8 roars of Fury is like none other. Smiles for miles and making Prius people upset is something that never get's old.

Don't feel so bad. I have all the goods for my eaton conversion stored in basement for over 1.5 years. Not feeling 100% confident of knowledge of installation I just can't seem to find the time.

That's good to hear. I recently drove a new RT and those cars drive nice - was hard walking away from it, roomy, handles well and one of the nicest looking cars out there. But it also made me appreciate the MM and its paid for.
I could only imagine what the '15 SRT8 will be like and now you can get an RT with the same engine - that would be my choice.

Can you imagine it looking like a dart and durango put together? Cause this is the ruining direction they went towards.

After 227,000 miles the car is still fun as ever.
Cannot wait to hit 250,000 and tell marketing teams across the world there is still nothing I would trade the car for.
