who's still around and what are you driving? There's a Marauder near me with two hundred plus on it with a Mo's tune.

There's a blast from the past. I'm still driving the same 2 Marauders. Haven't been on your side of the state for quite a while.
1963 Marauder S-55, Super Marauder 406
Only factory 406 powered Marauder, and earliest built Marauder documented to still exist.

Around 4 years ago, I prepped my '03 for a trip to Maine from Michigan - last operation was changing oil and filter. I test drove it after the change to check for leaks. The computer went nuts, and engine noise began. It's been parked ever since. I assumed it had some sort of cam chains/guides failure. At least it didn't die on me 700 miles from home!
In Las Vegas, NV, I bought a retired Las Vegas Metro Police Department 2009 Police Interceptor and drove it back to Michigan - it's been my daily driver ever since.

Confusion will be my epitaph...
Home of the Berserker Marauder, one of the ancient Norse warriors legendary for working themselves into a frenzy before a battle and fighting with reckless savagery and insane fury, held to be invulnerable...shirtless regardless of wounds...(possibly due to ingestion of psychotropic and hallucinatory drugs such as Fly Agaric Mushrooms)...

Good to hear from you! We're still here and still enjoy our Marauders. Mr. Man has his Titan pickup and his '03 JPB. I have a Dodge Durango and my 04 SB purchased new in Oct '03.

I kinda/sorta remember ya...think I met you at one of the Louisville meets. I still got my '03 SB; turned 180K on the odo right before Christmas last year. She'll turn 20 in April and I'll have owned her for 12 years in March. Plan to have the timing chain and guides replaced some time this year...was hoping I'd be able to wait until it hit 200K, but it's been making quite the racket on every other start up for about 6 months now.

Holy cow there's a blast from the past!!! Still have my Marauder, too. She will be 19 years old in March and has 55,620 miles. I have all the parts to do my Eaton Swap except for hoses and soft parts. My daughter better marry a gearhead 'cause he'll probably inherit mine. Good to see you again.

Owned mine since January of 2020; still my daily driver. Has about 62,xxx miles on it. Been slowly doing minor OEM+ modifications; I would like to see to converting the rear tails to ambers but it is currently on the backburner due to school. It's currently just converted to LEDs around back with a solid-state flasher to prevent hyperflash as well as allowing me to still run incandescent ambers up front.
I have plans to paint correct and ceramic coat the paint. Looking forward to that because it's probably one of the best things that can be done to protect the paint for a daily-driven car.

Yo Hack. Been Marauderless for years. I check in every now and again.

Hey, all! My Marauder hasn't been running for a few years due to an undiagnosed spark/fuel issue, and the matte-black paint job has been totally destroyed by weather and the California sun. So now I have a 2019 Ford Taurus SHO PP on its way from Texas with only 14,000 miles. It's the lowest-mileage SHO I've seen so I jumped on it. Already ordered a set of 20" black powder-coated, five-spoke wheels and a police interceptor grille for it. The SHO is AWD, so it's perfect for spur-of-the-moment drives to the snowy mountains just an hour outside of LA. Should have it within the next 48 hours!!!
It's been 20 years since I got my Marauder, so it's time for a new fast sedan. The BMW M5 priced out at over $150,000 and the AWD Dodge Charger only comes with an under-powered turbo-V6 which is a whole second slower than the SHO. Meanwhile, my Ford Focus Electric's battery has been fading so I gave it to my GF and bought a 2019 BMW i3s last summer to make my daily commute. The BMW i3s is quick and handles great (the 'S' is the performance version), but the SHO will be for road-trips with no charging-anxiety. With the right tune, the SHO should do 0-60 in 5.2 seconds.

Afternoon,
I sold my trilogy about 8 years ago and bought it back 2 years ago. It has about 91k miles on it now and i've been just working on it slowly. Little issues spring up if the car dosent get driven.
