So after searching for a nice Marauder I finally found one that I liked. Although black was my first choice, I found a SB with 30k miles and cherry inside an out. The only problem was, it was in Houston TX and im in Northern VA just outside of DC. I got an outrageous price to ship it, cheaper than flying one way and driving it back (23hours). I know it would have been fun but I didnt want to risk anything happening on the way back. Im just waiting for the transporter to show up with it!!!!!!
:banana::banana::banana:


OK the car came off the transporter without a scratch, but it was absolutely filthy. Now this may be a bad sign but not half an hour after I got it, I GOT PULLED OVER!!!!!!! Not a big deal though, they sent me a paper tag and I had it in the back window and the cop said he couldnt see it through the tint. He gave me a warning and I was one my way.

I took it for a little cruise and it feels so nice. I already love this car!!

Congrats on getting your Silver Birch MM. :congrats:

Where are you located in Northern Virginia?

I hope you know the guy who is parked in space #64. That garage is awfully tight. Hope you can avoid getting door dinged by that Honda. :( Maybe you can give him those plastic chrome edge strips when you take them off your car. ;)

Thanks man. Im in Falls Church 5 mins out of DC.

Yep those are assigned spaces so its the same cars parked there everyday, both old ladies. They managed not to ding my Cobra so hopefully theyll continue to be careful, but dont jinx me dammit!!
