    I purchased the Marauder from “Hoovies Garage” on YouTube.

    Hey guys,

    There were a lot of comments online about who or what kind of person bought Tyler’s Marauder and I thought I’d let everyone know about it.

    I’m a huge car guy and have been a fan of these cars since I went and looked at them brand new with my father when I was 15 or so.

    This car has been added to my little fleet and I’ll take very good care of it.

    So far I’ve removed the red badges and lettering on the rear bumper, fixed those horrible headlights and I also had some window tint added.

    I’ll be slowly doing a lot of work to it. I hope to learn a lot from you MM freaks on here!

    This picture was from the night I picked it up.

    Fixed it, Welcome.
    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

    Congrats on the purchase.
    Definitely get some boost in it.
    Question: Looking the car from the angle you took the picture.
    Are the tires in the back the same size as the ones in the front?
    They should be bigger in the back..

    They are smaller but I’m already changing all of them.

    Nice Score!

    Hoovie is a used car dealer and a wannabe stand up comic, don't feel bad about his wisecracks, his next "cheapest Rolls/BMW/Smart Car" adventure will punish him enough. LOL.

    Did you get the 15-inch "Coffin Full O' Subwoofers" in the trunk when he sold it to you?

    Looks like the Car Wizard is cashing in on the "Hoovie Effect" with your car update. Do they give you a discount on repairs when your car becomes their newest online subject?

    I'm interested to see if his buddy can fix the tach issue. My last MM had the same issue and if he solves it, I'll pull this cluster and send it to them to prevent the same signal drop on my current MM.

    I had the weirdest realization when I watched The Wizard's video. These cars have been out of production for a long time. There weren't even a ton of them made in the first place. To have something so unique to that car such as the gauge cluster fail, you'll have to find some sort of specialist that can rebuild the original component. Replacement parts just don't exist.


    R.I.P. SC Cheesehead. You were a good man and I am honored to have known you.
