How Old Are Ya?

[DetGeno]

Maybe someone had already did this Poll, but personally I am curious now that we have over 1000 members. What is the majority age group or groups that owns and attracts to the Marauder? So pls share your info!

[TAF]

We did this some time ago (not in "Poll Format" mind you)...but we added member's weight as well...

[Bigdogjim]

Old enough to know better.....too young to care..............

[DetGeno]

So far so Good! Thx everyone, and lets keep this poll going since only 36 Owner/voters voted! I know we probably have about a good 500 owners on this site and the end answer will be quite interesting and so far this is a lot younger crowd then I expected!!!

[Stephen Soulsby]

21 years old. Anybody the same or younger? And before anybody asks, I bought and paid for the car myself.

[JGaignat]

Bought the Marauder 6 days before I hit 40. "Some people get older and more mature.......and some people just get older....."

[engine23ccvfd]

32 felling like 40 (to many years playing football)

[Accufab Racing]

64 and I hope the money from Social Security doesn't run out too soon.

[GordonB]

OK,
I'm 57 and proud of it. In another month my financial obligations to my kids will be done with our younger daughter's wedding!
Coundn't afford my own car in high school or college, but now I can and am having a good time between the MM and the Vette!!!

[Smokie]

Ok every time I take this poll I'm older, I'm 49 but I'm don't look a day over 30.....of course my eyesight is failing.:coolman: :coolman:

[ChuckB]

the older i get....

[DetGeno]

Hey so far this shows me that MM is for all ages! Sweet! Keep it going until we hit 500!!!

[Constable]

22 here...

[jgc61sr2002]

About 21 when behind the wheel of the MM.

[Dr Caleb]

Given that Mercury's target age for the car was an average age of 45, I think there is another thing they got WRONG! :lol:
Good thing they got most things about this car right!

[Slowpoke]

chronological..... 42
physical...... 16 or 65, depending upon the day (or night!)
cognitive........ 73
mental 16........ or 120, depending upon what I am being asked.
emtional.....23 behind the wheel; otherwise; 27

that about sums it up!

[cruzer]

Maybe I'll be the first 75 year old on Nov. 27,2003>

[gonzo50]

The 36-45 group seems to be ahead on the polls,
oh, I'm 42 but look 32, yea ! :rasta:, no I don't smoke anything, it just looks way-kool. :rock: :D

[joflewbyu2]

34 and I care for comfort at this time in my life. Don't care about what others think of my "cop car" which they call her. It's fast, comfortable - not that I am big, just 5'11" and 155 lbs., and easy to drive - being automatic and having good visibility. Just disappointed I didn't get a car like this sooner. I bought Z28s instead of Impalla SSs in the mid 90s and even missed out on the Chevy Monte Carlo SS/ Old hurst - 442 models in the mid 80s. Don't realize whats out there till they're gone.

[bnrparker]

she's....???
i'm.......44 years young

[Mongoose]

Old enough to know better...too young to quit :rock:

[paheff]

43 a few months back, and (according to my sport-compact driving kids) squarely in the middle of my midlife crisis.

[Silver_04]

I'm 25. I just traded my '02 Mustang GT for this beast. Awesome car.

[Marc]

37, but with the body of a 57 year old. The 80's was tough decade on my body, but my spirit is sound, and I don't need Viagra. (That's not bragging, is it?)

[BillyGman]

42......and I luv this car!!!!!

[firstmarauder]

25 and lovin every minute of it
age does not go by years it goes by experience

[RVT04]

48 and loving my Marauder. Bought it for my graduation. AAS degree~~~ second career after 26 yrs. early retirement from 1st career.
Husband and I share the same mail, have network computer at the house. He is 52 and he bought his own Marauder after I got mine. So we are a two Marauder family. His is called M2, and mine is called M1, or red for color of his Marauder letters, and silver for my Marauder letters color. We have realized that anything we ever really loved, we got 2 of if at all possible, so we guess the Marauders fit into that category!!

[C N Sollinger]

53 & Loven it.

[NOMARQUIS]

I'm 28. I was told by the sales manager at the dealer, "Your the youngest Marauder owner in Appleton, Wisconsin." Who knows? He's a car salesman. :)

"Your the only? Marauder owner in Appleton, Wisconsin."

Have you seen any others in your area?? Has the dealer sold any others? :-)

Sometimes salesmen will suprise you.

[greyghost]

Interesting cross section of ages and occupations. I am going to be 59 next March. Ya know its hell being 18 and trapped in a 59 yr old body. Have had fun for a bunch of years with high performance vehicles. Cars, Trucks, Jeeps, Motorcycles, F-1 radio controlled airplanes, Boats with South Carolina tune-ups, I have met great folks in all of these sports. And now yous guys. I am really looking forward to Marauderville 04.

Long time "no see". I hope you are having a good new year. Hope to see you soon!. I will be a Wild Woodies tomorrow with Dave and Lidio. Maybe you can stop by.

My dad is 77, probably going to change vehicles soon. I am going to take him somewhere on a quiet Sunday morning for a test drive in the Marauder. Trying to pull him out of Minivan Madness. At one time when I was a kid, he had a 67(?) Plymouth GTX with 440 V8 and Holley four-barrel. Sadly, it was stolen long before I was old enough to drive. You are never too old to burn rubber !

Born 11/27/28---am now 76 years old--get one in the last box, fellows :banana2: Marauder 2 years old yesterday---40,685 miles---Marauderville I, MV II and plan to attend MV III-- if you haven't been to Marauderville, you have missed on of the greatest experiences you can have in the auto world---don't miss this one.

Where did you find the die cast model of your MM ? I am looking for one in Black. Any help will be greatly appreciated !

[MercEmAll]

I'm only 20 does this mean im the youngest?

[mrjones]

The old bar graph is now a pretty nice Bell curve, huh? I'm in that big group in the middle.

[whoskal]

21 years old. Anybody the same or younger? And before anybody asks, I bought and paid for the car myself.

24. and yes i bought mine too

[Pat]

I'm 66 and pick up my sainted mother, 96, at the Center around noon where we head to the parkway looking for a light lunch of trucks and assorted foreign sedans.

At this age I always try to work in three things in a conversation, fixed income, retired, social security. Keeps relatives from trying to tap you. Ha.

I was 24 when this thread started, now I am 27. However, I acted like a stupid, cocky, ignorant 18 year old up until two years ago. Now I am married, have one kid with another on the way, a mortgage, and find myself making much more sensible decisions, albeit most under duress from the boss with long brown hair and a ring I paid for on her hand. I guess "real" life actually does come at you fast.

[SergntMac]

I absolutely refuse to act my age.

26 right here....last car before this one was a '98 Lincoln Mark VIII (totaled in an accident 10/12/06). I guess I've never been much for the Mustang/Camaro/Sport Compacts, etc. that so many other early-mid 20's guys drive...

(though I would just about sell my soul for a '69 Mustang Mach 1 with the 428CJ...)

There was a little kid that lived behind my house when I was growing up. He was about 8 and his folks where in their late 50's, everyone and i mean everyone kept saying to them that he was a great looking grand child.

He used to flip out at this.

Ill be 21 in February!

That means you were only 16 when I answered this question. :D Since then I have moved up one bracket. :o

Movin on up in 10 mons.:(

[Ms. Denmark]

Staying in the same bracket again this year.:rolleyes:

[Bradley G]

I will be a half century this year.

[TiTo35]

Why the first bracket says "16 - 25 Years Old Greeny "

[Bluerauder]

Why the first bracket says "16 - 25 Years Old Greeny "
Because 5+ years ago when this poll was started, there were only a small handful of 16-25 year old original owners. The shape of the curve was a more normal bell shaped distribution. The number of younger owners has increased significantly as the cars become more affordable on the secondary market. The rest of us are slowly moving toward the end of the curve where Maury is. Hope that I am as YOUNG as he is when I get there.

[cruzer]

Just an update , since I haven't made the last 3 MV'ills. Still having a ball--Ginny and I will celebrate our 56th anniversary in January--all kids, grandkids and our great-grandaughter (now 5 years old) are all healthy and happy. Had to have a pacemaker installed --- ignition wires just wore out. Feel 10 years younger and enjoying every day. Spent the summer showing my '69 Barracuda--picked up a few trophies--going to do my first dragging Sunday after a 3 year drouth--it'll only be a 1/8 mile track, so no spectacular results expected. Those who know me know I occasionally get a warped sense of humor----I'll be racing for the Cow Town Mopar Performance Racing Team--through my membership with the Barracuda. They are heading for their 7th year as the top team in this area and needed another racer for their last race of the series--so they asked me to bring the Marauder. Well, I can't leave well enough alone, so-----Mopar is handing out a bumper sticker that says " Of course, it has a Hemi " with the ram's head logo in red. Mine reads the same , but the Mercury god's head logo completely covers their logo. I wonder what reaction I will get:) Hope I don't embarrass myself. I'll have some pics which I'll post later.
You want to know my secret for a long life???
Well, live every day to it's fullest
It's easier to laugh than to cry
Respect your fellow man
Love your wife and kids--they are God's gift
Try to take care of your health--I'm no health nut--but some things are not good for you--avoid them
Have a good Doctor on your list of friends--saved my life twice
I was blessed with a job I loved to do--went to work every day anticipating what new adventure I would have that day.
When you retire--be busier than you ever were when you were working
Have as many true friends as you can--they are worth their weight in gold
HAVE A HOBBY!!!!
I could probably go on all nite, but I will say I have been blessed in many ways--wonderful wife, kids that gave me no serious problems and who are all successful in their chosen fields and I talk to all the kids every day--no conflicts, no pettiness--Its a wonderful world.
I hope that all of you are as healthy, happy and satisfied as we are on your 80th birthday.

DRIVE SAFELY, BUT WITH GUSTO Maury and Ginny
