    Columbus WI Grocery Store Awesome story

    We have had 18" of snow here last week, and the roads are still messy. I go to the local store to get a pizza and found a super clean black MM in the parking lot. The car has stock rims and tires on it and looks like it just came from the show room. So I waited around to talk to the owner figuring it would be some car person. Well, I was wrong. Through the deep snow/ slop covered parking lot comes a shopping cart being pushed by a little grey haired lady. I'd guess in her 70's. She tugs that cart over to the MM and pops the trunk. I went over to talk to her and complemented her on how nice her car looked. She bought it new and it has 50k on it. I asked her how it does in the snow, she said OK. As I watched her drive away I noticed the rear wheels start to spin, the stop and the car crept along the snow. I wonder if it was an 04 with traction control? Anyway, I laughed to myself as I remembered the last thing that little old lady told me. "If you step on it, this car really goes!" Too bad the car was out in the snow and salt. Still, what a cool Marauder sighting!
