    New Member, My Marauder is My Mid Life Crisis Car

    Hi folks,
    New member from South Florida. As I say, my Marauder is my Mid Life Crisis Car. Others choose Mercedes or Porshe, I finally got the car I have wanted for the last four years. Am very pleased with it, look forward to meeting up with the Sunshine State Marauders.

    Jeff

    Welcome aboard. Enjoy the site and your new ride.
    (#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.

    Welcome aboard Jeff. I wasn't having some kind of mid life crisis when I got mine,I never "grew up". Unfortunately I hung out here on the Zone for 5 years and a month or so before I finally got mine.
