Gone, but not forgotten.......

[Wagonmaster]

Yep, we finally parted ways. We had 17,000 good miles together. I still love and miss her. In fact I still look at her picture on my screensaver. In a way, I can still smell her "New car smell" on my fingers. I still get flashbacks to the first day we met. It was certainly love at first sight, however it wasn't until the second time we met that she was willing to come to my place. It was clear many men had desired her, but it was I who would expire her warranty. She was neither akward nor shy. She was very responsive to my needs throughout our time together. When I beat her she would never complain, she would willfully submit to my triple digit desires. She was a little heavy @ 4,400lbs but I knew that going into this relationship. I never made mention of her obesity in her presence and she never got jealous when I looked at those little hardbodied GT Mustangs.

It's a shame that we couldn't work it out between us. It was "Irreconcilable difference's" that tore us apart. She constantly insisted on premium fuel. With her weight issue the fuel economy was tearing us apart. I showered her with endless gifts (Badgeless grill, Xcalibrator, 4.10's) but she just wanted more. I'm only a mortal man and I couldn't keep up with her demands. Friends and loved ones would tell me she was just to "High maintenance" Finally I conceded and broke it off between us. She'll be sorry, because I know that no man will give her the constant affection that I gave her. Good bye my love............I hope you enjoy your inside parking stall @ http://www.rallyeauto.com/ because it isnt going to last.

But really folks, I enjoyed my time here with all of you and the Emerald City Boys in particular. If you see my ex remind her that I still have those pictures she let me take of her, she'll know the ones I'm talkin' about!
Take care.

That almost brought me to tears :cry: ....If its any consolation, your badgeless grille will spend the rest of her days in sunny Fort Lauderdale being pampered by her new owner. Good Luck Dave

Customary to any engagement break-up, she was willing to give the grill back in good faith. I'm glad to see you received it. Enjoy.

Well it sits right next to the bread box.......a.k.a. Toaster, you know what I'm talkin' bout' Fixer, but others would publicly stone me to death if they found out what my new Metal Mistress is.

You said 17K miles you had with her......but it's for sale with over 50 K miles--..so you were not the first owner--right?.......Sorry you had to let her go--Darn!!...Tom

To let such a rare car go?

For sure it will never be built again.

Good luck with your new ride.

My girl just turned 3 today (at home) and still smells like new.(5,494miles)
I guess she is here to stay..... but there are days when you would
like to kick her out of the nest for a new "queen".......hmmmm
that new Charger Super Bee sure looks good or may be one of those
new (used) T-Bird's.
Enjoy your new ride..!

Gotta Love It!:rasta:

Congrats. I really wished I could have bought it, but right now, it just wasn't possible. Just because you sold it doesn't maen you have to leave. You still have the CV.

[01 Interceptor]

Agreed, and you are still welcome at the get togethers. A common car interest may bring a group of people together, but it's not what holds them together. I may drive up in something different on the 11th at XXX. It would be good to see you Garry. Too bad you can't bring the duty car. ;)

Dave, sorry to see her go, but we all move on at some point. It's interesting, I did an Autotrader search and see that Rallye has it up for $19,4K. Wonder if they will get it? I can't believe no one bit at the $15-16K range you had it at. Is the car on consignment, or did Rallye purchase it from you?

Also...anyone see the Marauder up at Harnish Lincoln-Mercury? Wonder if it is from one of our fellow bretheren?

Something tells me it may be. Look at the rear bumper...I see reflective decals.

[Rhino]

Due to the location (In Puyallup), I wonder if it's Curtis's car? Have not seen him at the meets for a while. The license tag looks familiar for some reason. Does he still post on the board?

[Ryans PI]

$25,000 for a 42,000 mile car! LOL!!

[teamrope]

Don't be a stranger. It isn't about the car, it's the people. :)

[Rhino]

$25,000 for a 42,000 mile car! LOL!!

No doubt. I was thinking of swinging by tomorrow to check it out and take it for a test drive...then laugh at the salesperson's face when they try for $25K. :)

I could buy a new Grand Marquis for $20-21 (w/ rebate), but alas, it would not be the same as a MM...or as cool.

It could be. He hasn't posted in a year and hasn't logged on since April.

[Wagonmaster]

Rhino,

I can't beleive no one bought it for mid $15's either, considering that Detroit Auto Works has had one for 7 months at $20k, now the idiots in Puyallup want $25k for theirs, what a joke! Rallye Auto bought it outright from me, after I robbed a few parts off of it. I didn't even make it 24hrs before I got myself into debt again.

hmmmmmmmmmm, well its shorter than a Mazda Miata, but has three times the cargo space as the Marauder...........and used ones sell for $3/4k more than a brand new one.

Just tell us what you got!!

Also, please stay here. I would hate to see all the good people leave as they sold their Marauders.

[1 BAD 03 MM]

I was reading through the thread and saw my name.

First off...... HELL NO!! that's not my car at the dealer in Puyallup. :D

Second off.... Don't get me started on the idiots at such said dealership. :fire:

I have been on hiatus due to an altercation with the above mentioned city's law enforcement officials. :(

To make it short, I haven't driven in almost a year. Got my license back 2 weeks ago. Drove MM for the first time yesterday. I still love all the looks this car gets, even if no one will pay what it's worth.

I will plan on June the 11th at XXX right?

I'll post more later........., it's good to be back. :bandit:

If you ever get serious about a new used TBird, I'll fill you in on the car's pluses and minuses. Make sure you look for an 03/4/5 model.

My 03 has just about 11,000 miles on it. Just sprang for the extended warranty. Black/saddle interior.

Fun to ride in, but my LS is more fun to drive. There's a difference.

[1 BAD 03 MM]

wrong thread.....

[Ryans PI]

Welcome back, Curtis.

So, is it June 11th at noon?

[01 Interceptor]

I believe so. I will meet the N side crew at our regularly scheduled spot around 1050-1100.

[BruteForce]

Jon, Albertsons at 10:30 eh?

If you'd like, I am flexible. Anyone else form the north?

It sounds like most of us we be at XXX at or around 12 noon. atelast from the north end.

Where exactly is XXX?? I can't find its location on the net..

I just keep gettin porn sites!!:jk:, but seriously where is it?

[01 Interceptor]

It's in Issaquah, just off of I90 the Front Street exit. Take a right off of the ramp, then an immediate left at the light. You can't miss it.

Well, change of plans for me. I will not be a attending this meet. I am working Sunday so I can have Thursday, Firiday, Saturday and Sunday off for next week so I can move to Everett. Hope everyone will have good time. Have a root-beer for me. ;)

[whoskal]

Damn!!! I'M not going to make it.....thanks to my new promotion at work, I will be in Mira Loma, CA for the next 3 weeks starting tomorrow...Have fun guys..Ill have to catch the next one!!

Dog gone it! I just checked the schedule. it's a nite race, and Linda made other plans for me. Also, it is straight up bracket raceing, no test and tune.

Now the 23rd which is a friday has open test and tune. (So does the 9th but that is less than 24 hours away.)

[1 BAD 03 MM]

(So does the 9th but that is less than 24 hours away.)

Not totatally out of the question, unless there's rain. Let's keep it open until the last minute. What time? 5:00pm?

[Blue03]

I'm planning on showing up at Albertson's on 128th at about 10:45 Sunday morning to split the difference. Is a stop in order at Northgate to pick up anyone? Does it look like Triple X is the spot this time?

PS I think I saw TWEGGS today on Evergreen Way in Everett. That gun metal gray is distinctive and does look nice!

[teamrope]

It's XXX Sunday, Drag raceing maybe tomorow night.I'll have to play it by ear. I do want to try out the drag radials. :)
