    New car, new member

    I found a 03' mm with 11,000 miles that I couldn't pass up so as a new owner I am very interested in all the things I can do to make my marauder roar. But I am having a hard time finding a non-dealer mechanic in my area to take my car to. Does anybody know a good shop or mechanic in the Atlanta area that knows Fords? I have a Crown Vic that needs some TLC too... thanks a lot

    Team Ford Marietta has a great team of mechanics who have a wealth of knowledge about our Maraurders. I HEARTILY recommend them. BTW, our Southern Marauders meet every 3rd Saturday for breakfast at Cracker Barrel on Delk Rd. just of I-75, and its a great opportunity to find out about the things that can make your Marauder "roar". Welcome, and hope to meet you soon!!!

    The MM comes standard with a roar ... check out Team Ford to add the jump and growl.

    Man, echophlox, you came to the right place! Just to save you some time, and to supply a wealth of interesting Marauder lore and tech info, take a look under the search tab about any topic you can think of.

    Add whatever you can, and go to the local MM gatherings; these are great folks.

    Welcome aboard. Enjoy the site and your new MM.
    (#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:

    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.
