My marauder gets too much attention?

It is a rarity that I get a compliment on mine here, not because it is not washed.It is a rare occasion to see one here and I guess so few were sold that they think they are just Mercurys. I guess if I want compliments on the car i will hang out in front of a liquor store.
 
you from edmonton? sounds like you were off of 118 av or 107av thats where all the drunkin first canadians hang out. just do what I did, get a louder horn. on the other hand if you were in sask that coud happen anywhere.

Is there any truth to the rumor than Northern Canadians have high cheekbones due to proping up their faces with thier hands whilst passed out the bar, and Southern Canadians have flat foreheads for resting face down whilst passed out at the bar?
 
Strange that this thread pops up, when the gf and I went to test drive a new Challeneger and SRT-8 300, all the salesmen were drooling over the car saying how awesome it is and this, that and the other. It was really nice to have all those compliments from them.
 
I just noticed your Ecto-1 replica. Post some pictures of that!!!

I've had the car for almost 2 months now and I must say it gets noticed a lot! More then my old 1992 5.0L ever did!! Whether its people thinking its a cop car on the highway, people wondering what kind of car it is or from people that actually know what's up. So far two guys asked me if the car was for sale and some drunk guy at the liquor store tried to get into my car while I was parked LOL good thing I had it in drive but pressing on the brakes so the doors were locked haha
So I leave the store, get into my car and I see this guy with his buddy pull up in a blue van. They park next to me. I am slowly reversing as I am leaving the store but as a put it in drive this guy jumps right in front of my car...wtf right?....so I roll down the window to tell the guy to get out of the way but as I do that he looks at the car and says "damn!!!! is that a mercury marauder!!!??? It looks so nice, all shiny with the wheels....oh and leather too!!! with the logo embedded in the seats wow!!!!" LOL he basically has his head in the car at this point and I clearly notice that he reeks of booze and he is not making too much sens either...so at this point i try to stay polite but tell him I have to go and that's when he tries to open my door....I'm assuming he just wanted to see the inside of the car or rob me ahahhaah.....its nice too get attention but that was a little too much for my taste!!!!!funny story!!!!i had to share!

its ok man I know exactly how you feel... everything you mentioned ive had happen to me lol
 
WTF guy jump in front of car, guy puts head in car, guy tries to open door? Those are all violations, sounds like u need to invest in a CCW license. I would have flashed my 9mm, i didnt say point or shoot, i said flash it. I dont mind people admiring the car, but if you put me in a situation where i feel like i may be in danger, i will let it be known that im not alone.

Well i'm from southern Canada and i have high cheekbones from propping up my head at the kitchen table, and i also have a bump on my forehead not a flat forehead, so there!



Come to think of it though if i would just put my head down on the table to start with i wouldn't have the high cheekbones and i would have a flat forehead with no bump from crashing down!

:beer:
 
I get compliments and a lot of WTF is it, I usually tell them all about it and they seem interested to hear about it, But I have noticed that when I pass a liquor store I get a lot of waves, shouts and whistles....................
 
LOL It happened again!!!!!!Well not exactly, once again I was at the liquor store ( I do enjoy my beer ahhaah) and some guy came up and said "Man, you must enjoy that Marauder, ITS NICE". This guy was much more sober then the other one and didnt try to get in my car! LOL

So its official, if you guys want compliments about your cars go hang out infront of the liquor store. Beer drinkers know their cars!!!!hahaha Maybe I should organise a Marauder meet infront of that store so we can all get compliments about our cars!
 
I was at Advance Auto 2 days after purchasing my car and this Spanish guy that works there looked outside and said out loud "D****M homes..... is that really a Mercury Marauder, who's driving that", LOL! I didnt say a word until I walked out and he was walking around it saying D******M, this is nice. I love it!!!!
