    It's like I say when it comes to our cars: "Either you get it or you don't." This guy definitely doesn't get it.

    That guy's an idiot. I left a lot of comments in the comment section. all he's trying to do is devalue the Marauders. cuz he's upset he couldn't afford one. Lol and Crown Vics had the same problem blowing spark plugs out. and motor failures if you drive them and beat on them all the time. all he's done is run the marauder down in every video he's made. and talks about how it's cheaper to clone a Crown Vic! it's not cause by the time you actually clone Crown Vic with the bumpers interior the engine which makes the Marauder special anyway. it would be more money. you could have went and bought a Marauder for less. Never in my life have I seen so much jealousy over performance limited production built car. and because these Crown Vic and Grand Marquis owners can't have it they try to talk trash. Lol of course Caprice owners did the same thing when the 94 through 96 Impala SS came out. Yes if you don't have the money buy you a boring old Crown Vic. If you want to have something with performance that's cool and not everybody and their mama has one. Get a Marauder oh wait that cost more money they don't get that.

    This guy is insufferable, I’ve attempted to watch his previous videos but I just can’t stand him.

    So the Marauder isn’t good because parts are expensive and you only have the budget to buy one with a blown engine? Seems logical.

    Yeah, dude is a pretty big moron. And probably spent way more trying to convert his Vic into a Marauder than just buying a solid runner.

    If you can't afford a Marauder at today's prices, stick to beat-to-$h*t taxis with 300,000 miles!

    His narration and lack of any real knowledge trumps his empty wallet.

    I actually thought some of the things he said were good and flattering to the car. But I disagree with his conclusions. I don't think this video would disparage anyone thinking of getting a Marauder to get one. Might even make them want one even more.

    I especially don't like his recommendation of doing a Farauder instead.

    Thumbs up Marauder Lust

    A good video if the narrative was left completely out. Maybe 'Bad Company' by Five Finger Death Punch would have been better LOL!!! Surprised by the number of Marauders for sale on eBay recently. Thinking most buyers are knowledgeable of modern Marauder history.
