The only issues are he is off on gas mileage and horse power. I used to get 5.5mpg city and NOW I make 330hp, not factory. The rest is accurate.

That's a great review, describes my car exactly! How on earth did they get 5 MPG City though? I can't even get that low if I go WOT at every traffic light.

I'm sorry, but after a minute or so I couldn't take any more of his ten year old narration.

What are the under hood tubes on the passenger side that are attached to a metal cylinder?

Overall I give it a B+...he could have done without the histrionics and weird voices. At least most of what he said was accurate and complimentary.

Congrats, Dom!

Good deal Dom! [emoji1531]

Q: how did this guy find you? Yeah, the first few minutes were a bit over the top with his narration, but then he calmed down. Would have liked to see more about the suspension differences between the standard panthers and the MM.

5 MPG? Bad info there as you say. The worst I have ever done was 10-11 mpg, and that is driving the car less than 2 miles to work at 25-35 mph, with it never getting a chance to warm up, WITH the DR tune.

Looks like some type of air horn, I could be wrong though.

I noticed that white tubing as well. Flux capacitor? [emoji15]

I'll bet that's it. The video said he had added a horn from an '89 Coupe de Ville.

Flux capacitor?No, then the car would have 330 jigawatts, not horsepower.

I found him. I emailed him saying I was driving across country to record bass, that's why you see the case in the trunk.

5.5mpg city is what I got when procharged, he must have misunderstood me.

The air tubing is for a Dixie/Dukes of hazard horn I have and use.

Great!

The irony is its a "Regular Car Review" and yet both the Marauder and it's owner are anything but.;)

Fair review, other than what has already been brought up. No flex fuel mention though:P ;)

You are funny!!!

I should have mentioned that. The YouTube trolls would have really had fun with that!

They are already insulting my hair, why not give them another bone? Haha

The trolls are lower than child molesters, their infantile comments and trying to get other peoples goat is the only way they can get off. Not worth the energy to reply or comment to...

Not too bad a review. I expected worse in the name of sarcasm and clicks.

I just dug up my mm.net password to pop in and see the reaction to Mr. Regular's video. I figured the owner was a member here. I didn't think the owner would be THE member here.

I enjoyed Mr. Regular's review, and it seems as if he really enjoyed the car.

You guys should invite him to the next Marauderville and have him do "which Marauder is best Marauder"

I am not special. I'm glad you liked the video.

I will let him know. He's probably going to crash at my place for The Chicago Mission which is TBA.

He's great to be around. Roman is too, but he wasn't feeling too good the day of the shoot. Still, with Romans love for music and Mr Regulars humor, we clicked and I hardly click with anyone.

I guess The Marauder POV is coming soon.

I'm flesh and bones like anyone else. I think everyones personality is different, but some are less "normal" than others.... ;)

I liked it, would be fun to have him drive a boosted car too. I watched his video on the SHO. I owned a couple of those as well - did a good job on that one as well.

Funny. Seems he was less critical than his other 'reviews'. All in fun for sure.

My Son actually talked to me about it yesterday. I had not viewed it yet, but knew it was in the works. My Son asked me, so why a Lincoln engine? I went on to explain the Diesel fuel, the daily driver (beating)... and so on. We both agreed that THAT right there is half the fun of ownership. And a Marauder jacket that is worn! I don't think I fit into mine any more. Should have got the XL, had I only known i would get fat and old.

Good times

He was probably a little nicer to me and my car than most because he might of liked me and my car more than most.

A lot of times he profiles the car to the owner. Being that we are both huge music fans and have the same outlook on life, this might have been why he was kinder to me and the Marauder than most other cars. He flatout said on otheR reviews the car sucks and he couldn't like the owner.

We connected instantly. I guess you have to be a weird breed to be in entertainment.

Did he get to drive it on any dry land?

5.5mpg city was procharger era. I was telling him the history of ownership and I guess he didn't hear that is USED to get that mileage. Oh well.

He could add a note at the end that the mileage figure was off.

He plugged my band today.

This guy is awesome.

I'll email him on the gas mileage correction.

I found this comment to be funny....

As a guy from Chicago, he looks like a north-side douchebag trying to look hip, but he ended up looking like the lead singer of a Smashmouth cover band.

People in the Wicker Park area will have wild hair and dig bands like The Sonics, but like any community they give the cold shoulder to anyone else who has a different outlook on life. I dye it to perform, but walk around like this full time. It's a good conversation starter and actually scored me a modeling job next week. Not kidding. LOL

They called me a bunch of names from bands, but no one has said Fat Mike yet. I have been called...

Billie Joe (90s Green Day era) I get that off line too

A cross between Fry from Futurerama and the guy from Man Vs. Food.

It's all amusing to me. It has people talking so it's good for the youtube channel too.
