Been awol for awhile so I figured I would stop in and say hey. I really miss having the marauder of course even though it was here for a very short period. Had a change in cars though, finally got out of my Lincoln LS v8, really downgraded myself but I do love what I have right now and for sometime too come.
Week after my b-day I gave myself present by trading in the LS for a '07 Chevy Cobalt LS. Yea, I know but I am very used to cars like this. Had 4 cavaliers, an eclipse and a focus zx3 and I do like small cars. Took sometime to get used to the lack of HP but its nice.
The car is victory red, 5-spd manual. I had the dealer add power windows, keyless entry and cruise. I wanted an LT model but it was cheaper to get the LS and upgrade the things I did. I just had to get passed not having a full black interior or 17's. I plan to add the wheels and tires in the next few month though:burnout: (still waiting for the LS warranty refund :bigcry: ).
Had it since 9/22 and it had 3 miles that day, now it has 1013 or something like that. Have been holding myself back from letting it lose but have a couple of times. Very pleased, finally geting 30+ mpg. Only thing I hate is the wheel/tires. They are like 195/55/15 or something stupid, they do ok but compared to the Lincoln its night and day.
I saw a vic done up like a 'rauder and looked back at the days I had one. Sure miss the look, power and sound of that ride. For awhile I thought of just getting a Vic and changing it to a Maruader, but it still would not be the same.
