    Made my decision!

    I've been toying with the idea of selling my baby but just can't do it. Every time I look at the photo of Rita and me driving on the Charlotte race track it brings back too many fond memories. I bought it new in Nov. 02 after my Grand Marquis got T-boned and totaled.

    My garage is a "so called " two car garage but I need Vaseline to get them both in together so I'm getting a cover for my MKS and parking it in the driveway, that way I can use the Marauder for local stuff and special events.

    Nice. Glad you decided to keep it. I made the opposite decision with my rare Aztec Gold '97 Mustang GT way back when. Still kick myself in the rear end over that one. My girlfriend at the time tried to talk me out of it, I didn't listen... now she's my wife, and I still don't listen!

    Moving into a new house in a few weeks.
    A 4 car garage was a must
    2 Marauders
    1 Lincoln MKS

    The other MKS, Lincoln Continental, Mercury Villager and Mercury Sable
    get parked outside.

    No matter how big your garage is, it always gets full.
    I bought this house because I thought I would never outgrow the 6 car....

    I have 5 parked outside and inside is full, I'm slowly building a shop on the back corner to have a few lifts...... I'm sure I will fill it up in a few years too.
    The twins2.3 whipple/aluminatorVortech V-2 lots of goodies

    You ain't kidding. I have 4 in the garage and three outside. It's a sickness. It's fine for the winter, but a logistical nightmare in the summer.
    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

    For now I have a 2 car. My 04 cobra gets one side and the wife's 18 mustang gets the other if I am not working on something in there. The marauder and lightning have to live outside sadly. Want to build a detached so I can have a lift and all my stuff can be parked in doors for a change.

    The 4th garage door has a drive thru garage door.
    There is plenty of room to do an extra 2 car garage (Maybe Tuff Shed)
    building in the back of the house. I could add a lift in there also.
