The thrill is gone.

The good thing is that when Steve does decide to get back into this craze...the people that have garage queens and sell them will afford him the opportunity to get back, condition wise(well maybe...) what he's looking for...

FORD has really gone downhill IMHO......right direction for "Tree Huggers" who like little FWD cars but wrong for folks like me who like bigger RWD cars and some "POWA"!!:shake:

Mustangs are COOL but too damn little and I'm not sure they are headed in the right direction with their appearance......"hey Tom, let's hang some more spoilers on next year's model and slant the headlights more!!" JEEZ-A-LOO!!:shake:

My Marauder and me will stay together from now on I guess since her new motor cost about what she was worth before the motor blew.......PLUS....IT'S REALLY STRONG & FUN NOW!!:burnout:

^^^ LOL tree hugging ppl are catered to very well. There's always Mopar and GM for us real Muscle car lovers. I don't want a mustang either, nice but not for me.
 
I still say your going to regret it. Unless your in need of the cash its money in the bank.
Just my .02

Hey, you could hold a raffle in Louisville!!!!!!!!
 
Here are ways to keep you interested

only drive other cars that are worse than the ones you own
Just add to your collection if you can
Buy something way different - an MM will never be a 911 (or Corvette) but a 911 will never be a MM

Makes you appreciate the MM for what it is and allows you to enjoy the sports car for what its worth
 
Well, Most all know I keep mine covered outside till I choose to drive her---so yeah--the thrill so to speak is gone --especially when I look over and see her under cover---for days and days ---till I get her out and start her up for a day ride to work----or just on the weekend to go loud!!---weather good of course-.
...and then it happens allover again.............

The thought of "WTF"... was I thinking of getting rid of this-----folks still go nuts when they see it at gas fill ups and all over-----so............after backing her in for cover up with a full tank --covered --I say --to her---ok beauty--till next time----a story that just continues to go in circles---.......cause you have to own one to have it and understand..............carry on yall.
 
I love driving my Marauder and enjoy modding it, but I am paranoid every time I take it out. I'm paranoid that someone else will hit me or back into me or something unfortunate may happen. Also it depends on where I'm driving. I'm not going to take my car downtown and park on the street overnight, so sometimes that limits when we take the Marauder out. Inclement weather is a factor too. When I lived in Virginia and we used to get snow, the Marauder would be parked all winter. I wouldn't take it out in the salt/snow heaven forbid!

I guess what I'm saying is, the thrill of driving it is still there....but only under optimal conditions.
 
My MM spent 11 winters driving through the salt. Retired this past winter. While it does have a little rust that I have mostly attended to, I can tell you that the corrosion resistance of these cars is excellent.

My son's 2002 Camry is a rust bucket. So much for "superior" Toyota quality.
 
Mine spent most of its life in Ohio so there's quite a bit of rust underneath it which I'm going to look into relatively soon.

Some areas under the car cannot be stopped from rusting.

Scrape it and spray it with cans of flexible undercoating or truck bed liner.
 
Jerry,

I did several mods to her early last year and then barely drove/showed her.

It's just time plus, the money will be applied to education funds.


Thanks, Mike!
