    Decided with the sale of the p71, the marauder is getting a 31 spline, 4.10, yukon upgrade. As well as a rear sway bar upgrades.

    Backed it out of the garage, parked it on driveway and let it run for 10 minutes while I wiped the dust off.
    Then back in the garage.

    I like it a lot....smooth and quiet, handles really well with the magnetic shocks, especially in 'Sport' mode. 6 speed automatic downshifts nicely when braking, 23 - 28 MPG....
    and when you punch it, it moves!

    Fusion Sport is just over a year old and already has more miles on it than the 16-1/2 year old Marauder. 20,800 vs 18,600!

    Oh...I forgot to mention: It has heated and cooled seats....first car I've owned with cooled seats...they are awesome!

    We have looked at them she is just worried she will get bored with it lol. She loves her ST. Thought about an RS but not to crazy about the recaros that come in them. We were looking at ecoboost mustang's today. She enjoys unique cars so she gets really picky when we look lol

    Spent the last week doing some major garage organizing. Finally made room to bring the marauder inside. Put it up on stands and dropped the trans pan. Had lost 3rd and 4th gear. Was hoping for broken OD snap ring, looks like that isn't the case. Decent amount of metal in the pan.

    Headlights didn't come on. Had to bring it in by fog lights. I'll add LCM upgrade to the list.
    Other things I noticed under the car:
    Drivers spring cracked, bottom coil on the seat
    Both upper ball joint boots dry rotted and torn
    2 nuts rusted off flanges at h pipe, somehow not leaking yet
    Suncore air springs, guess they were replaced already?

    Looks like the marauder isn't making Carlisle.
    Better start cleaning the tortoise.

    JEEEZ!.....

    Just spent 1/2 an hour cleaning the Effin' bird $h*t off of the Fusion.

    Honest to God...I drive the Fusion to work yesterday morning and come out of the office to go over and grab some lunch.....and this is what I find:

    A fu*kin' $h*t storm on my just waxed hood!!!







    My co-workers dark blue Porsche Cayenne, which was parked next to me, was totally unscathed by the flying rats!

    I mean.....REALLY!
    Do pigeons take laxatives or something?

    Bummer, I hate that - unfortunately with all the trees where I live it seems to happen to any car, any time I drive it.
