Are we normal?

[prchrman]

Reading all these posts it appears (maybe wrongly) that a lot of us are bigger and older than normal people so here goes, how tall, heavy and old are you...I will start this-- 6'3", 250lbs and 45. Just for fun.

[CRUZTAKER]

uhhh, no prejudice here please.......5'10, 155lb. 37, EDUCATED VETERAN, and NORML

[MM03MOK]

OK, I couldn't resist....

NORML = National Organisation for the Reform of Marijuana Laws

[TAF]

6'2"- 285lbs- 37 (I laugh when these guys talk about "crawling in the trunk" or "the seats need side bolsters")

[martyo]

Thank god I am hanging out with you guys!

Screw watching my weight: 230llbs/6'3"/40 y.o./dwm (oh, never mind, that's for a different post....)

[SergntMac]

LOL Marty, I was just thinking the same thing...

5'9"/200#/52 years.

And if you like to stroll along the beach at dusk, make it Daytona Beach so my Girl can get some exercise too...LOL

[gonzo50]

5'9", 175 lbs. 42 yrs. young, and getting younger. :pimp:

[prchrman]

6' 1/2", 235#, 40.9...average so far

[Long Live #3]

5'08" 227 lbs and 17 years young. :D

[notacop]

6'0, 16 years old, 130 lbs

[BeaSStMaster]

6'1"
240 lbs (but going down daily as I lose more and more "on top")
45 (but often feel either 18 or 92)

Bottom line: If you see me hitchhiking in a downpour and you're driving a Neon, VW Bug, BMW Mini or any similar-sized burner, don't trouble yourself to stop. I'll be just fine

[RF Overlord]

You've all already seen my a$$, do you REALLY want the other dimensions, too? :eek:

[golfnut]

6'1", 210 lbs, 30. because of one bad a$$ black beauty, I feel my age again. will always be immature

[RoyLPita]

5'8" 150 lbs age 32. Average enough to not move the seat back in a short woman's car. I'll have room to spare in either my '92 GM or my future MM.

[BODYMAN]

6'4" 190 pounds and 32 years young!!!!! I still feel like a kid

[rurumon]

5'11" 215 lbs, 21 years of age....guess that puts me in the minority.

[LincMercLover]

Guess you all are just WAITING for me to chime in. Just remember who holds the buttons before you put your laughter in this little reply box. :D

5'10" (haven't checked that in awhile), 130lbs (haven't checked that in awhile either...), 18 (KNOW that for a fact! :D )

I dunno why people have problems with the seats, are you not holding on or something? :lol:

For you "newbies" who may not have seen this when it was posted several months ago. (no mention of weight, though?)

this was from Mercury...

Do You Fit the Mercury Marauder Customer Profile?

The Marauder Customer
The 2003 Marauder appeals to the customer who wants an aggressive, fast vehicle. They are pro-American and like to live on the edge. Marauder provides them with a great deal of driving pleasure while still meeting their concerns for safety and security, operating costs, easy ingress/egress and value for the money. This customer may have wanted a Mustang Bullitt or Cobra but really needs the passenger space. This page represents a close look at the demographics, needs, expectations and overall mind-set of the target Marauder customer.

Key Demographics
The Target Marauder customer tends to fit within these averages:

Gender - 80-85% male
Income -$60-80k
College educated - 60%
Married - 65%
Average age - 45
Target Customer
Marauder's target customer:

Is a performance vehicle enthusiast and has good technical sense
Is likely to do extensive research on most of his purchases
Will have a strong opinion on what he wants
Has to be active, have fun and be engaged in life
Needs to be true to himself, takes pride and gives 100% in whatever he does
Craves excitement and exhilaration
Has a need for authenticity, integrity and dependability from people, products and services
The target customer also responds primarily to these Passion Points:

Love for cars
Need to set themselves apart
Attention to detail based on knowledge
Need for quality and assurance
Spending time with family and friends
Cost and the Customer
The typical Marauder customer is cost-conscious and is often of the following mind-set:

Willing to pay a premium for a vehicle but only if it resonates closely with "who he is"
Higher priced products driven solely by image offer no appeal to him
Marauder will be part of the household fleet, so image and power are not his only concerns --- it must also have the functionality to accommodate his everyday needs
Cost of ownership is a consideration --- dependability and reliability are important to him --- he expects quality from the product he buys
Aftermarket kits will likely be purchased and will be considered part of the Marauder purchase

I actually lost weight since owning my Marauder. Heavy payments and all, gotta cut back on food, heating, clothing, electricity (we cut the power to the house on alternating days), etc.

Just kidding, the weight loss was just a coincidence, due to diet change. But to my co-workers, you gotta wonder if they're thinking I finally reached my critical mass of car expenditures!:o

It must be that lanky teenager thing...I eat whenever there's something to eat, and I've been known to eat whatever it is fairly quickly. My grandpa, dad, mom and sister are on the skinny side too....hmmm

Do You Fit the Mercury Marauder Customer Profile?

The Marauder Customer
The 2003 Marauder appeals to the customer who wants an aggressive, fast vehicle. They are pro-American and like to live on the edge. Marauder provides them with a great deal of driving pleasure while still meeting their concerns for safety and security, operating costs, easy ingress/egress and value for the money. This customer may have wanted a Mustang Bullitt or Cobra but really needs the passenger space. This page represents a close look at the demographics, needs, expectations and overall mind-set of the target Marauder customer.

Key Demographics
The Target Marauder customer tends to fit within these averages:

Gender - 80-85% male
Income -$60-80k
College educated - 60%
Married - 65%
Average age - 45
Target Customer
Marauder's target customer:

Is a performance vehicle enthusiast and has good technical sense
Is likely to do extensive research on most of his purchases
Will have a strong opinion on what he wants
Has to be active, have fun and be engaged in life
Needs to be true to himself, takes pride and gives 100% in whatever he does
Craves excitement and exhilaration
Has a need for authenticity, integrity and dependability from people, products and services
The target customer also responds primarily to these Passion Points:

Love for cars
Need to set themselves apart
Attention to detail based on knowledge
Need for quality and assurance
Spending time with family and friends
Cost and the Customer
The typical Marauder customer is cost-conscious and is often of the following mind-set:

Willing to pay a premium for a vehicle but only if it resonates closely with "who he is"
Higher priced products driven solely by image offer no appeal to him
Marauder will be part of the household fleet, so image and power are not his only concerns --- it must also have the functionality to accommodate his everyday needs
Cost of ownership is a consideration --- dependability and reliability are important to him --- he expects quality from the product he buys
Aftermarket kits will likely be purchased and will be considered part of the Marauder purchase
Looks like that pretty much covers it in a nut shell. Except the dollars part

Not the tallest, fattest, or oldest; but certainly solidly in the above average category.

However, if we consider, total score, then I declare myself the winner of tallest, fattest, oldest, combined. .....sort of like NASCAR, you don't have to come in first to win. :rolleyes:

For what its worth, thought I might share.

I've never really cared for smaller cars. Not a Mustang fan so much. I've always liked a car for long road trips and comfort, room, with storage space in the trunk. Also wants ease of use for any possible passengers (such as 4 doors). And power is always a plus :).

I have an 03. I'm male. My income isn't that high. I do have a degree. Not married yet and no family yet. I'm 32 years young. I'm about 5'6 and need to lose some weight, lol.

In college I started watching Speedvision and muscle car shows and began my love for cars. I love American muscle from the 60s and 70s and vintage police cars. Found out about the Marauder in an article in the paper (just chanced to see it) in about 2002 and knew I had to get one someday.

Would love to mod the car.

I really don't fit the living on the edge part. I don't take too many risks.
