...in a Marauder :cool:
Since I now have a nice job with a nice salary I've been looking to upgrade my ride. Now, as opposed to putting a ***** ton of cosmetic work into the Vic, I have a hit on a relatively high-milage Marauder (it's blue :D). Now, milage doesn't scare me because my former police car has so far survived to 150k miles with nothing more than a new alternator.
God I want this car! My issue is I'm still trying to get my head out of the water financially with just getting out of college and all. Man, I hope I can work something out!
...I can park next to my co-workers in their Bimmers and not feel so embarassed, lol (don't get me wrong, I'm not wanting a Rauder for the "status". I just love the car).

Too bad you're on the east coast. There's a black one for sale out here by where I work. I think the miles are high, though (100k plus). Haven't seen the price yet.

Buy it! Buy it!
Not only will you own a MM, but it will be one of the rarest of the rare, PLUS, you get immediate induction into one of the most EXCLUSIVE organizations in the US, if not the world....the MM Blues Brothers!;)

Listen.........don't listen to all this BLUE stuff..........cause its just that---STUFF......you diffinitely need a ride in the only MM that is true to its name---When its BLACK---Its BACK!! ......you mean you haven't ridin' in mine--nor driven' it??????...you gotta contact me man!! we are in the same town!!!!!!
OK ----NO Blue--has too many miles--there are alot of other MM out there with lower..and it gives you time to save up with that new job-----do not get too anxious about that BLUE----WAIT!!! there is another MM with less and for less---trust me----it is ok to come with your CV--we loved it --remember!!

But but but but...it's a Marauder! And it's blue! First off, blue is my favorite color (see my vic), so don't hate! You're right Tom, I never have ridden in yours. I work down by where you live now. I took an engineering job at Midrex Technologies on the south side of Charlotte. Maybe after work I'll just have to swing by your place. Do you still have my number?

Let's not forget, blue is my favorite color, and it's the rarist of the hot Rauds.

Please--Please--PLease--- DO NOT REFER TO COLOR OF BLUE ANYMORE!
It tends to wake up these blue people lurking around waiting to throw in their color wording to influence everyone cause they had to follow the Real color of BLACK in the production line --so they want to try and confince folks that a different color does exist even though some other paint got spilled on our Black cars turning them into a near sky color.......
carry on.............:lol:

knine, you've got to humor Tom a bit. I've come to realize over the last couple of years that he's got BLUE envy. After all, we can't all be "the few, the proud," can we?;)

If you get a blue, that means you can act like a snobby A hole because your car is the uber 31337 of the 03 marauders. :D Im just kidding i like the blues.
Its a really nice color, pictures dont do it justice.
Although, we all know 04 was the best year for panthers, period ;)

Would the world come screeching to a halt if I said I was considering an 04 BLACK? I'm considering a daily driver, 04 with bun warmers and an escape hatch. (In addition to my BLUE of course). The 04's are awesome.

Hey, I resent that remark!
We are not snobs.
Can't argue the A-hole part, though.....:o

For you we would make an exception----go BLACK!!!
Not for Cheesehead-----well, we need to make adjustments all the time with him-=--he has become so overspoken about blue---he now has been thinking out loud about showing off his shorts.....yeah....you got it......in blue ......now that will make you think BLACK for sure!!!!!!!!

Many moons ago I took an autobody class at the local community college. This is an option when you are low on cash and it can get you some free student labor. How much would it cost to paint one of these boats anyway? I am thinking about 3k.

Well, I'm confident I could do alot of the prep work myself, I just need a facility, and then some place to shoot the car [with paint].

Check with the NASCAR Tech. school in Mooresville--they may have a place ..........

The big thing is timing. I'm not going to start prep until I have the money in-hand to take the car right to the paint booth. I'm thinking stock up on sand paper and bondo in the mean time.
