    My best experience was about 4 months ago. I was headed from New Orleans to the police station in D'Iberville, Mississippi to transport some evidence. There was two 18 wheelers side by side on the I-10 doing about 50mph. As soon as they opened up enough I shot the gap and nailed it to get around them while coming up an overpass. As soon as I got up to the top of the overpass there was a troop parked on the side. I looked down and seen I was doing 95. He had me there was nothing I could do. Apparently he thought I was 'one of them' and didn't come after me. Had I been in my harley truck or camaro I'm pretty sure I would have most likely gotten a warning or a ticket.

    Not the first time. I'm used to getting peered upon quite often by law enforcement.

    I had to visit the Mercedes dealer for some Hydraulic oil. Pulled into the lot with the Marauder. The attendant was hey that's a Marauder right? I never saw one in blue. Nice car. Can't be many of those?

    It was nice getting attention surrounded by the "other" Merc's.

    Other fun highlights include:

    -- Cruising Woodward Avenue during MV3/Woodward Dream Cruise (WDC) in August 2005 with 40 other Marauders and blocking Woodward to get back into the Burger King Lot.

    -- Police escorted convoys during both of my trips to the annual Louisville, KY meet in 2008 and again in 2009

    -- Multi-jurisdiction police escorted convoy during Marauderville IX (MV9) from the Civil War Museum to AACA Museum in Hershey, PA

    -- Leading a convoy of 20 Marauders along Skyline Drive in Virginia during Marauderville V (MV5) in August 2007

    -- Laps at the Brickyard -- Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) during Marauderville VII (MV7) in October 2009

    -- Roscoe's Cruise during Marauderville X (MV10) in South Haven, MI in October 2012.

    -- Drag Racing at Mason-Dixon Dragway, Hagerstown, MD in October 2004

    -- Running the 9 mile Roller Coaster road PA34/94 between York Springs and Carlisle, PA each year to and from the Carlisle All Ford Nationals.

    -- The high speed convoy on the Twisty Road to Metamora, IN during Marauderville VII (MV7)

    There's probably many more; but those are off the top of my head.

I'm noticing a pattern here, everything involves the good friends that we have because of this site. And a lot of non MM.net meeting up for dinner, concerts, etc.

    The Marauder start up where our cars caused alarms to go off in the casino parking lot... And the subsequent beautiful drive to the Bouldefr City and the DAM? Two lanes... The lake, and 29 Marauders.

    Yeah, that looked like a lot of fun. I regret that I elected not to participate and gave up my slot so that Barry (CRUZTAKER) could take his car on the track. Just didn't feel like emptying my trunk for the event per the track rules. I stood on the sidelines and got plenty of pics between Turns 1 & 2. The folks who were running hard really laid on that driver's side front tire when going through Turn #2.
