So, my Marauder crapped out on my wife today at lunch.
I had it towed to the dealer, and it turned out to be just a bad battery.
My service advisor is new, and he told me it was under warranty for 4 yr. or 50K miles. I was just about to turn 30K. but I knew I was right at the 36 month time frame, and even mentioned that to him.
He later says that he made a mistake, because he thought the Marauder was under the Lincoln side of the house, rather than the Ford/Mercury side. Duh!
It turns out that I'm just 3 days out of warranty.
Luckily, because he made a mistake, they did in fact cover the battery and the towing, which makes me very happy.
Anyhow, I was just telling my wife about how the owners of Blue Marauders like to make sure they use the word "Blue" in the names they give their cars.
I told her that I didn't want to call it just "Red". I thought I should at least call it something that sounds like a real name, but equates to red, like Reba.
So, later today she told me. . . . "Reba died on me today!" I thought that was cute. Reba is kind of funny, annoying, and obnoxious. My Marauder is loud and obnoxious(straight pipes, and delete tips), so I said what the hell. . . "Reba" it is.
