If you are over for beers, it is a garage Queen
If we are going to the show. its a show car
If you want to race, its a race car
I like to drive it every sunday as long as the weather is ok
Daily driver not. I don't want it destroyed just going to work, and I plan on keeping her a while'
If Iwas forced to pick I would call it a sunday driver.

Well,
My CVPI is my daily driver but the heat has been hit and miss in it so I've been running the Marauder till it gets fixed then the Marauder will see the garage till spring.

Mine is hibernating. She did 4 yrs and 63.5K miles as #5 before retiring. When she wakes up from her long winters nap she is a toy. I drive her when I get the urge. She even has her own driveway. Contemplating one of those tent garages to keep her clean. Easier than the cover.

Mine is now a week end driver spring through fall and stored in the garage come winter.
I started out daily driving it but even with parking it down the street from where I work all the cement dust and crud was going to ruin the paint so I got the P71 for a daily driver.
You really don't want wet concrete splashed on your MM,believe me.

My Black is a DD with 91K on it and the wifes DTR is a DD with 102K on it. I want to get a third car so we can park one but she keeps shooting me down. Someone talk some sense into her.

The Beast is a combination of 1,2, and 4. She lives an easy life; always garaged, always clean and detailed, and never out in the foul weather. She's out and about any clear and dry day/evening for cruising.

Participating in car shows is just icing on the cake.

Daily driver, almost 90,000 miles on her... out of service until further notice due to accident

SID210SA
02-23-2009, 06:49 AM
Mine fits all 5 choices....She is my Garage queen when I have visitors over, she sits and everyone admires her...

She goes to shows all the time....and lots of people oogle her and have plenty of questions...

I occassionaly take her to the track....best time of 14.6 @ 97 mph....

I almost always drive her on Sunday's, I love to get here real nice and dressed up just to go and drive somewhere...

And she is a daily driver....she gets me to and from work rain or shine....luckily no snow or salt this far south....some times some ice....she has 2 door dings and only swirl marks, no scratches, and is still quite the head turner with 86,500 miles on her.

I'd have to agree with Mike regarding my MM. She's a DD but has all the qualities necessary for 1-4 as well. Just rolled 60K. I am fortunate my commute is only about 10 miles R/T daily. I LOVE this car.:burnout:

Hey all, mine's been an alternating Garage Queen - the guy I bought mine from DEFINITELY kept it as a GQ! I drive it more on "Sundays"/Weekends and like taking to occassional shows. These babies stand out whereever they go! Long Live our MM:beer:s!

Marauders are not esily to see ¿Why? as I write many times here $58.000.00 so only rich people have here in fact the Corrupt ex Governor when he was a commisioner resident went to a L/M dealer and buy one. back to the original question Yes i have to import from US that,s why I am looking constantly the Forum "Marauders For Sale" but the choise is turning very difficult there are many Marauders modded heavily and in almost new condition.

Sounds like a one time, have to get it right 1st time, purchase. Good luck. You know the guys on the main land will look at whatever one you are interested in. IMHO, John's on Long Island, NY is probably the very best available right now. Unless you want one with FI already installed. He is also close to a port so shipping out shouldn't be that difficult to arrange.

:mad2:I don't know which thread this should go on so please forgive me. Just got the oil changed on my MM 04 and the mechanic showed me oil leaking from both rear Axel seals on to the inside of the rims has anyone heard seen or had this problem?? Is it under an extended warranty. Has there been a service bulletin or a recall. I need help I don't want to have to shell out big bucks if I can avoid it
