Cause I got pics,

Got out to Martys this afternoon, saw this gleaming Blue in the Drive way and I was like a kid on Christmas morning. I was so in love with theis car even before I drove it, and driving it is an absolute Dream.

As stated before Marty is a total class act, and absolute pleasure to work with and a huge asset to our community. In 6 days we have three members with new Marauders, pretty damn cool. Here's the pics

I think under the current law you can hang an "Applied for Tag" on it and drive it for 7 days if you keep the title with you.

I am, of course, assuming you have insurance on it already.

BTW, how did you like the dead pedal?

Brad,
Congrads on DPB, The car looks great. MO Speed Shop did a good job on the prep.
the very best on your new car and "Project" Love to see more pictures, perhaps a
You Tub video with audio would be a nice touch.
I love the Blue. It is by far my favorite color.
If you don't have a fuel bibe, I'll send you one free. Sort of a home coming present.
PM me with info.
I guess I don't need to say it, because you have started your Christmas gift giving already, to yourself. Use it in good health.

Good to see you.

How is your wife?

I hated letting the blue go and as I sit here right now, I regret it. My wife did not understand my passion for that car, but it drove so well. After I got it from you, besidfes maintenance and a new maste cyliner, all I did was put tires, a killer stereo (Thanks Pops!!), and a new tune on it. Oh, that and about 26,000 miles.

I too was glad to see the car stay in the Marauder family.

Wow you put some miles on it! Glad you enjoyed it. It always drove solid for us and saw me through some good times and some bad times. We tried to keep it in good condition. PonyUP will love it too. We still miss both our Marauders every day. In a few years when things get better we intend on buying a Marauder again as a second car.

Kadiddlebabe is doing OK, she had massive dental work done this past Wed so in some pain right now.
