    Has Anyone Ever Heard This One Before ?

    A few weeks ago I took my son and his friend to a major league baseball game. When his friend got into my Marauder he said, "Wow, a Crown Victoria on Steroids." Never heard that one before. I'd be interested in any other names the Marauder has been given.

    I've actually explained the MM as a "CVPI on steroids" to the great unwashed.

    I think cars should be driven, not kept in garages their whole life. If you want to collect something, collect stamps.

    Very glorified, though. Ford had a lot of grille, trim, and bumper cover ugliness to get rid of the make the MM look as good as it does.

    Had a buddy in Alabama tell me once at the track the following:
    "A bunch of people were pointing and laughing at the "Gramp-mobile" as I was next in line for the burnout box. Their attention was caught down track as I made my way into the box. He said they nearly broke their necks swinging their heads back as I did my "John Force."
    I've heard a lot of names through the years. Mostly starting as "you @#$%$#@" when they're opening their wallets. Most of the real car guys do know what it is though.

    When in doubt, GAS IT! This will either fix the problem, or end the suspense.
