    Arrow Is your Marauder still your daily driver?

    I have noticed a lot of you no longer use the Marauder as a daily driver. It's now one of the cars for "sunny days" as suppose to taking on whatever is thrown at it.

    Mine still is my daily driver dispite the blower and other modifications. I even put winter tires on it so I could use it this winter, I will not being doing it next year though.

    So how many actually drive their cars anymore?

    Everyday...I maybe the only guy in this area that pulls up to Wal-Mart, blasting Scarface, with a carseat in the back and go in to buy Pull ups.

    My car is forgetting what rain looks like. I've become a bit obsessed with what weather I can take the car out in.

    I'm probably the only one in my yuppie area that will blast Hank Williams Senior while changing the oil in my driveway. Sometimes D.R.I. Doo Wop music, Chuck Berry... ya know. Anything I like that most in my area overlook.

    Sometimes when I have the oldies or Doo Wop people will walk by slower to listen to the tunes!

    Most every day. My garage queen is the 93 TBird SC. I only take that out in good weather but do as much as I can to keep miles off the MM. Today the SC went to work while the MM rested.

    Mine was daily driver for the first couple of years and with serious highway use for work. I "retired" it a couple of years ago with 48k miles on it. I get it out regularly and am not too hung up about weather (though it skips winters now). A great car and a "keeper".
    If only this MM puppy had a 5 speed!

    Daily.... rain and now snow since getting snow tires for the first time. It will need some cosmetic work after grit from a cement truck dinged my paint in a few places. I did finally find a good detailing shop and plan to make good use of it. Will look to buy a used DD (4WD) and pamper my Marauder once the budget allows.
