    Exclamation More problems with the car

    1. Everytime I turn out into the street I floor it, fishtail and have an insane laugh.
    2. I don't seem to keep my eyes on the road because I am distracted by the functioning boost gauge.
    3. Everytime I see a cocky guy in a Porche I rev it and let him hear my blower and after that they seem to calm down with the wreckless driving and don't wanna play with me.
    4. When the car shifts from first to second the tires screech and it slightly fishtails to the left.
    5. All of my friends now want a piece of the action and are calling me at midnight to go race some people who don't know what a Marauder is.
    6. People who have nine second cars are really impressed with the Marauder for a street car.
    7. The intercooler is stopping bugs from getting into my radiator.
    8. When a sidewalk is near by people always seem to look when I give it half throttle.
    9. The car launches like an 11 second car if you leave at 2000 rpm.
    10. The PA had to be relocated so now when you pop the hood you can no longer see it.

    oooooo man what a car this is becoming.

    The guys at Porsche are probably wondering what a Porche is.

Kind of scary, when thinking of the scale. Makes one think that maybe it'd be a good idea to do some introspection and think about what each of us needs to do to build a solid community, analyze what it is we're all honestly looking for by belonging to this community.

    This is the post I've been waiting for!

    Just remember to keep the Marauder "shiny side up and oily side down", "keep her between the ditches", and "don't go in the rhubarb".

    There, that's my three favorite Minnesota expressions for 'don't crash it'.

    Mike from FIT took care of everything. He did a great job, but should have went over all the clamps again because one of mine gave way and caused my car to stall for the night. Now I had it done in time, but my rear end was so worn out I couldn't have any fun with it until I put a new Posi in and finally installed my 4:10 gear. It was all done in time luckly, but it wasn't until last sunday when it was working 100% correct because a valve was stuck. Just a quick Zack fix.
