    Hello from Paw Creek, NC (Charlotte)

    Not exactly new to the forum but a long time lurker and I made a verbal commitment to purchase my first Marauder - finally. Will be setting a pickup date and time in a few hours as it's located several states away. Low mileage, always garaged and a two owner - present owner has had it since 2006. AutoCheck not showing any negative reports.

    Have been sleepless for two nights now - dug out my Marauder memorabilia and discovered I still have the Marauder DVD, along with the 2004 sales brochure, various letters and postcards. Bought a new 2003 brochure with leather jacket insert off of eBay along with a (new?) XL Marauder jacket earlier today. Finally living my Marauder 'dream' 15 years later.

    My '05 Mustang GT has under 26k miles (I'm the second owner), a low mileage 2006 pickup and a couple of motorcycles I rarely ride anymore due to physical limitations. Entering disability retirement with no debt and relatively few bills beyond my vehicle expenses.

    Checking into an aftermarket powered moonroof, 4:10 gears, Ford Racing diff housing rear cover, CAI and tune for the Marauder. CAI/tune/gears woke up the Mustang, much like they did my previous '98 GT. Ethanol Free gasoline all the way.

    Yes it has. I’m actually in Todd Park with the Paw Creek Post Office right down the street (Old Mt. Holly Road). Moved to Charlotte from Jacksonville, FL in 1996. Thanks to you and everyone else for the ‘Welcome’!

    Edit: I-485 chopped the Forrest Pawtucket Country Club Golf Course in half, causing it to finally close (torn down in 2007), sadly. It's days were numbered long ago anyway by the '(un)fair housing act.' A new housing development is being built as I type on the old golf course. All cookie cutter, vinyl sided, two story homes - truly pathetic IMO. Area schools failing due to 'diversity and inclusion', not to mention 'empty homes' sold to people who couldn't pay for them to begin with.
