Welcome Mark,

Lots of good tech info on Marauders, and activities associated with this band of brothers. I hope your Dad chooses the Marauder, a fun car to own and drive.
Enjoy :banana:

...trading the Grand marquis in for a new marauder or Crown vic sport, hopfully getting a marauder. the marauder is 19K and has about 25K miles on it. its black and very clean.
:welcome: Welcome, Mark & your dad. I went through the same process with the CV Sport/MM decision, and the Marauder won out, HANDS DOWN. There is no comparison between the two in SAFETY, PERFORMANCE, COMFORT, VALUE, RIDE, you name it, not to mention the very large COOL factor. Tell your dad if he passes on the Marauder, he's a dope. ;)

:eek: JASON?!:eek: Um, take your hockey mask, and chain saw along .....he'll do anything you want! :D

Here's some things to think about.

Fuel economy about the same,
Way cool factor, huge advantage, Marauder.
Downside? The Marauder uses premium fuel, and his insurance rate will go up ~ $40 - $70 per year.
Um, did I mention how cool it is to own/drive a Marauder? :)

I drove both the CV LX Sport and the Marauder. Guess which one I picked -- no comparison in my opinion. :D Tell your Dad to go for the gusto !!! :up:

I figured that we could all meet at the St. Louis Arch, (East meets West). http://www.crownvic.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beer1.gif I would like to see as many people as possible attend. After the meet there will be a 300 mile cruise to Chicago/Lake Michigan. http://www.crownvic.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banana.gif

Here is what we could do for day one (Aug 1):

Meet eachother in person
Tour the area
Get pics of everyone arriving
-there will be more added as the time goes by

Day 2 (Aug 2):
Cruise from St. Louis to Chicago on Interstate 55
Get some group pics near Lake Michigan
-there will be more added as the time goes by

-------

This is the first time I have ever been to St. Louis, so if there is more to do, by all means, let me know http://www.crownvic.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif. I want to make this a success http://www.crownvic.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/joy.gif http://www.crownvic.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banana.gif. I would also like to get our counterparts over at mercurymarauder.net to attend if possible. http://www.crownvic.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Ford%20Flag.GIF http://www.crownvic.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Mercury%20Flag.GIF http://www.crownvic.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lincoln.gif

the NMRA race/show is going on all weekend (July 29-31) at Chicago (Joliet)?
For the people who enjoy drag racing their cars or watching Fords race in general, it is a ball. The event is focused on Mustangs, but all year Fords and Mercurys race.
There is usually a big swap meet, and a pile of new speed parts vendors.

[MarkVI351]

well the car dealership that we are going to trade it into is a mercury one, so odds are its going to be a marauder. btw, is anyone going to be interested in the meet???
