    On Went the Slicks/Skinnies

    OK, since I blew up tne Cobra on the dyno, I got a little bored and wondered how the tires/rims would look on the Marauder?

    Nice pics. How did you get away from not having the inspection decal on the bumper?
    (#6178 in black per FPIC)
    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    Rest In Peace:
    Alex "Marauderboi" Vachon 3/2/92-8/13/10
    Paula Babineau 1/9/67-8/2/11
    Rex Weinbender
    Peter

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

    I thought you weren't going to race again? In one post you said that you would not need a fire jacket because you would not be racing again. Now you state that you are. Which is it. BTW, here is that thread:

    Its on a plate near the license plate. It may have helped that I was carrying a gun (and badge) at the time.

    Rears are Weld Alumnastar 15 x 10 w/6" BS
    Fronts are the Alumnastar 2.0s 15 x 3.5 w/2.25" BS (and don't fit by a mile)


    Thanks for the kind words guys. Glad you like it !

    No, it is not like that Mary. Don't go starting something. If I had said it Mac would be all over me. I am sure his adoring fans would like to know.

    I had intended to take it to the track with just the slicks, BUT, the shock bolt began rubbing the inside rim screws. That was the last night our only track was open. It is now closed for good.
