OK YES IT'S TRUE, WE ARE THE PROUD OWNERS OF NOT ONE BUT TWO MARAUDERS AN A, AND A B, THE B IS FASTER BUT TODAY I GOT SEVERAL FEET OF AIR TIME IN THE A AS I KEPT MY FOOT IN IT PAST 85 MPH AND CRESTED THE " SLIGHT HUMP" IN THE EVER SO STRAIGHT BLACKTOP APPROACHING THE FREEWAY I JUST HAD TO STAY IN THE SEAT (THANKS TO THE BELTS) THE WONDERFUL CHASSIS AND OTHER SUSPENSION COMPONENTS MADE THE LANDING SMOOTH AND STABLE AT NEAR 100 MPH I DECIDE THAT IT WAS ENUFF FUN AND LET OFF JUST IN TIME TO GET ON THE BINDERS AND BRING IT TO A SMOOTH STOP IN LESS THAN 200 FEET WITH ROOM TO SPARE. CAN YOU SAY AIR TIME! YEE HAW!
THE PASSENGER WAS FINE WITH THE TRIP BUT THE GUY IN THE BACK PINCHED A NICE ROUND WASHER OUT OF THE LEATHER SEATING SURFACE

Congrats! Susan and I did the same, we have an A (hers) and a B (mine). It's great for when someone on the list points out yet another difference in these "identical" cars. Once you get one you just can't stop. Was eyeing a silver one for the nephew, then a red one caught my eye. I could leave one stock and play with the other...But no, Susan said "no", 2 are enough....

I've done that once. Had a buddy in the car and got on it, got second gear scratch, then as we hit about 90MPH, we hit a lil overpass. Coming off the overpass we could feel the drop, but the car also reved up a slight second as we fell. My buddy like to shat! "HOLY CRAP MAN! DID THIS THING JUST JUMP THAT?!?!" :D
