So I am driving on the highway in the Marauder, just sitting back enjoying some tunes and the cruise. A big Chevy Suburban pulls along my passenger side and paces me for a couple of miles. I never look over there thinking maybe I pissed them off and it's just someone yelling.

Then they tuck in behind me, and pull up on my driver's side. Guy has his girl riding shotgun flailing her arms trying to get my attention. She gives me a big thumbs up as does the driver, then shows me a wad of Bills pointing to the car inquiring as to if I would sell it. I shook my head no, gave them a courtesy wave, and then floored it.

They followed for a good 15 miles and the driver eventually gave me a salute as he exited.

Unique way to get an offer

I would have motioned "How much is there?" before I made the sell or don't sell decision!

Probably should have, but I wasn't in the best part of town and didn't want to stop and find out, and it would have taken a lot, not ready to sell yet unless someone wants to overpay by a few grand

Few grand over?

I also tell whomever wants to buy my Marauder "It's for sale, the price is enough to buy 2!"

Not shocked they followed you for 15 miles. You drive a black MM. If you had a DTR. There's no way they could have followed you as you would have been long gone :)

Maybe the girl was the stripper from Kentucky last year trying to give you your change that you blame me for :)

Definitely why we are spolied. For someone that knows what a Marauder is, there are two kinds of people in this world.

Those that think it's a cop car, and those that desperately want one. For the latter, they want it so much, they make offers while driving just hoping you'll pull over

Never fails, even COVERED in salt, with black steel rims, I still get mouth dropping compliments from people in the know at minimum twice a month! Don't even get me started about how many after a good wash...:)

Probably a dozen years ago, I had a similar offer on I-64 from a guy waving money and yelling he wanted to buy my '69 Fairlane Cobra...

Thanks Bob,

My favorite was George's line:

"New car, just about the finest smell in the world... 'cept *****"
