    Welcome letter to new posting members-Add your here!

    Welcome and congrats! Great job buying your Marauder!

    Warning! Sounds like you've been bitten and infected; the euphoria you have recently felt is addictive in nature and 1000 or so people are completely strung out accross the nation. This illness can manifest in many different ways. Some seek perfection in just one unit, while others have a multi unit breakout, even into lesser lesions like CVSports and HPPs.

    Serious manifestations can include extreme impairment in judgement, including but not limited to seeking smaller homes, with larger four and five car garages.
    Noted in previous expert testimony in another Marauder journal just last week, addiction can override normal judgement creating abnormal irrational ermergency response: Put out house fire(?) or continue to wash Marauder?

    Other judgement impairment examples include complex decision making conundrums: Be inside with loving family or outside with cool beverage adding yet another coat of wax to an already shiney Marauder.

    Physical examples include the intense, premeditated, need to "detail another section" of a Marauder. One patient logged three hours cleaning and detailing his trunk, and (again-irrationally) shared his perceived victory as perfection in writing and even proudly declared he would post pictures (of a trunk no less!) later in week. Worse yet, other patients logged on wanting to see these photos and admitted they hoped to, or admitting to have done, the same trunk detailing recently.

    All patients report the desire to add boost, in one format or another.

    Universal symptoms include desire to hoard certain parts: floor matts, front and rear bumper covers, and wheels-especially if widened. A recent and new symptom is coveting upgraded front brake calipers (of all things), and many report having one or two sets uninstalled!

    Less damaging universal /commen symptoms have been noted as well: the impulse to bid $8.00 on any and every item ever put up for sale, and the impulse to use the cliche "Pictures or it didn't happen." Perhaps even worse than this abject cliche use... Is the physical let down or dampened mood when someone "shares a symptom manifestation" on this forum, and neglects to include the pictures for all patients to see.

    Please watch for these signs of infection and disease spread within your household and community.

    Report back your findings, outbreaks, and personal manifestations, as we have found each case to be both uniquely different, and universally similar in nature. To ease and sooth other patients, please try to include photos.

    Best of luck in beating this illness. Please know you are not alone and we are here for you!

    LOL!!! In the meantime down here in the Southland, my Marauder stalled twice after filling up yesterday before finishing the 7 mile trip home. Steady idle in Park, erratic idle in Drive with a/c on (or Off). No codes. Have appt. with local dealer tomorrow to check fuel quality.

    The Marauder is merely a tiny extension of my sickness.. I’ll mod anything and everything as nothing in this world is up to my standards IMO.

    I love the Mighty Merc. So much so that after my Marauder was smashed by a drunk driver, looking at a ZR-1 Corvette and a few F-bodies to replace my Marauder. I decided to keep it and rebuild it. I guess you can say I own my dream car.

    What you said ^^^^^ 100% !!!!
    After Mr. Fordfrk bought his SB, I thought that I also should have one. So he says "now I have to take care of 2 cars". I said you need something to keep you occupied in your retirement -- HA....

    LOL, me too!
    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard
