View Full Version : another marauder damaged
Took my car out of storage the other day, drove it home after a quick inspection, other than dust it was fine, it's dirty in the picture but it is blue.
Next day I wake up to find it scratched. The whole drivers side was damaged, some spots down to the metal.
I have issues with teens cutting through my yard and hopping the fence so they don't have to walk around the block, imagine having to use your legs. Not sure if it was them but it happened at home. Either way this won't buff out. It's going in on Wednesday to get fixed. I'm just glad my GN was still in storage I wouldn't have wanted to fix two cars.:bigcry:
WTF is wrong with people.

That really sucks. How tall is your fence? Maybe installing a 6ft fence would help, better yet get a big dog.

Put a bunch of 2X4's with 8 inch nails sticking out of them and line them up along your fence. That will stop the duech bags.
Sorry about your MM.

Man, what is wrong with people! Sorry for your loss.
Sorry to hear this!

I put them on temporarily, I had a new pair of these. They will go on the front once my Hankook's get here. I demolished the OEM 245's when I got the car. Before putting the car away, I did new brakes all around, performance frictions, changed all fluids etc...
Spoke to my neighbor about the punks cutting through our yards. He needs to keep his gate closed and let his dog out more. For the time being I'll be parking both my nice rides at my parents place. It's a two minute walk from my place. This happened at a rental property I own. I am living here until my new place is ready at the end of May. I'll have a double car garage once again so looking forward to that.
I'll put up pics once the driver's side gets painted and car is cleaned up.
For BAWAZIR, here are some pics of the G-Body.

Go vietnam on thier ass.... Take 2x4s make a small box about the size of a shoebox, nail some nails through it and smack them down slightly so you can step in, but if you try to pull your foot out the nail dig in deeper (like a messed up chinese finger trap!) then piss in it for a couple days, then lay in the yard where they cut through.
Hey it may be overkill, and I may just be pissed off at the human race more than I used too, but its an idea.
A moment of silence for our injured blue brother....

bummer, but who knows how it really happened, it almost looks like someone was riding a bike next to it and got too close. That happened to my car one time, kid got scared by a car driving to close to him and ended up hitting my car - I saw the whole thing - I blamed the adult driving the car not the kid.

I feel for you. The Grand National leaves me with BITTER memories. I bought an 87 brand new. $6000.00 in warranty... we parted. The last GM I ever owned... what a piece of automotive GARBAGE.

I got one of those scratches too! Douchebag kids in the neighborhood decided to drag a key down the front door and fender when it was parked on the street last summer... I wish I knew who did it... I would love to ring their necks!

Sorry to hear about your MM. Maybe they thought it was a COP car, and decided to take it out on your car. WE know how kids these days view authority.
Love that GN. Whoops,,,,,,,.... I slobbered :beer:.

A few weeks after I bought my marauder, I waxed it and drove it down to Madison, IN to DD for a friend's bachelor party. While passing through the small town of North Vernon, I stopped to use the restroom at a gas station. I was in there for no more than 5min and when I came out, some racist (and likely inbred) pos had smeared "N***** Lover" on my door with their grubby hands. It was surprisingly difficult to remove.
Seriously, what gets in to some people?

The GN has been a love hate relationship at times, but only recently when trying to locate some electronic components. I have had the car 20 years and have had very few things go wrong with it. the A/C and cruise even still work. The r-12 system has never been opened up, still cold. I do have lots of $$$ into it mod wise, turbo, front mount intercooler, transmission, suspension, alky kit, heads the list goes on. I have pounded this car on a regular basis for twenty years and it has held together quite well. It just turned over 50,000 miles. We get lots of snow here so it's in storage for 6 months at a time.
I can't wait to get the MM back, brought it to the body shop today. It's a good reputable shop, I'll post pics of it when I get it back and have my new rubber on as well.
The best car I ever owned reliability wise has been my 88 Mustang GT, it never broke.

String up fishing line. I have trouble with the a-hole kids in my neighborhood as well. The parents are no better. I'm a younger version of Walt in Grand Torino. My cars are always clean, my home/ yard is well kept. I yell at people who use my yard as a public sidewalk. Then the brats ding-dong ditch me. Who would have thought we would be the victims on our own property. Nobody has respect for anything anymore. Sorry about your car.

Is it something where they can just clean up the clear coat or is it down to the paint?
Our old landlord had let his not too bright son mow the lawn and when the marauder was out front he slightly cliped it with the lawn mower handle instead of asking me to move her.
But it was surface clear coat damage and got it buffed out okay.
