:D
Today is the day I picked up my Black Beauty.
We were out in Indiana boating with friends. (Marv and Carol) And I had been talking this car up for so long Marv said he douted I'd ever buy one? And I assured him I was getting the first one the dealership got in? He knew I had test drove one on Saturday the day after they came in the dealership. But , was told those were spoken for and they had lost my order that I had placed in April?
So it"s monday morning we"re going boating and I'm not getting a Marauder, and my buddy is douting Im ever going to get this car I'm nuts about.And I'm not getting the first one the dealership sells, as Ive been crowing about for 3 months? I also knew I had to get personalized plates ,so I wanted first stab at the DMV selection.
Well, at about 3:00 p/m I get a call from my salesmen that he was able to pull a Marauder from the main dealership and bring it to his branch in Peotone Il. I tell him all I have is a wallet with no checkbook ,no transportation and that I'm with friends in another state. I tell him I'll call him back after I talk to my wife and friends.
Marv and Carol agree to take Gail and I and their boat on a road trip to get Gary's Marauder. We end up showing up at the dealership at 8:30 p/m. By 9:30 I'm driving home sunburnt with shorts ,sandels and a t-shirt.
What a day!,What a Great Day!:D

That's the best Marauder story, yet. :)

Boy, I haven't seen you and Gail since the KY experience, but MMV-5 is just around the corner, and we'll get to see you guys in August.

BTW, you did sign up for Seymour again, right?

Here's hoping Paul won't show up with another card shark. :D

Happy Anniversary. Your car is nine days older than mine. Read on this site, that Liberty L/M had three on their lot about 8 miles away. Went in next day, Salesman offered a test drive without coming with me, (no room for him anyway) drove it like I stole it. :drive:That did it for me, wasn't looking to buy, but I was sold! My first vehicle without a sunroof, but I didn't want to wait!:burnout:Have never looked back.

Isn't the birthday the date of production ?

I mean in all fairness...
Your birthday is the day your Mom popped you out, isn't it ?
It's not the day Mom left the hospital...

Gary, this story is sooo much better in person. Too bad you had to leave some out.

I'm right there with you. 6-27-03 is the day my MM arrived in my house. I picked it up and then drove right up to NY with her. My 1st nephew was born on the same day and I had to see him and the rest of the family. What a great 41/2 hour "getting to know you" ride it was. The grin I had was quite large. I rode with the windows up mostly, so I could enjoy that beautiful smell of new Marauder. I'm getting teary eyed as I type. It truly was a great day.

Didn't mean to hi-jack the thread. Thanks for letting me share.:beer:
