Riddle...With a prize to the winner.

What costs every Marauder owner 4 bucks?

It doesn't matter if your purchase was a brand new Marauder, or, a used, Marauder, you still spent this four bucks.

The winner will be the first correct answer, and the prize will be some piece of Marauder memorbilia. If you win, you will need to send your USPS address to SergntMac@aol.com but not until you win, eh?

Post your guess?

Ford "Nudo Leather" is really a formula based leather made from deer skin. It takes about 4x deer (or bucks) to make a MM.

Or am I way off here? :)

New oil filter?

Federal "Cool car tax"?

Some $4 insurance charge to cover litigation against Ford for CVPI fires?

My first inkling is that this is some sort of Federal or Insurance Board fee having to do with our vehicles.

does this include the classic Marauder owners? I'm wondering if this is more of a trivia question than a riddle.

If this is really a riddle I like the deerskin answer.
Or mine... Nothing. Every expense on my Marauder was well over 4 bucks.

Mac's right Bradley. It "costs" us four bucks to fill it up.

"What costs every Marauder owner 4 bucks?

It doesn't matter if your purchase was a brand new Marauder, or, a used, Marauder, you still spent this four bucks."

Um, unless he meant DEER. I mean, without the proper "$" signs, there IS room for confusion.:rofl:

Still, I'm wondering about MY prize, since there was a three part, correct answer requirement, for my win of Marty's additional style points part.

Bluerauder

Mac's right Bradley. It "costs" us four bucks to fill it up.
This assumes that we all filled it up. Apparently lots of us don't even use the coin holder so some of us MM owners still have that $4 bucks for more mods, an extra quart of oil (your choice of course), about 1.5 gallons of 93 Octane, or maybe even a tire guage or second set of valve caps. :D
