Hey! Where are all the "kill stories", huh?

[MDC-1]

I just did a search for "kill stories". Search function didn't come up with any??

C'mon now! With Logan running around with 450 rwhp, and big-ass Baer brakes, there's gotta be some kill stories out there??

Do tell :)

[Smokie]

Try raced.

[woaface]

I love to smoke civics, and integera's and what not...the 3950lbs of fat that I drive suprises me once in a while (key phrase, once in a while...sometimes I am disappointed, but you get what you pay for!) I could smoke Logan's Marauder and any other s/c Marauder or Mustang too!




But I prefer to turn down the reefer...it would take too much:lol:

Nothing wrong with your car, bud. If it's anything like the pic in your sig that's a fine looking machine. I'd definitely roll it. And didn't you recently chip your car? I'll bet that'll help your off-the-line quite a bit, no?

[CRUZTAKER]

MDC, as I am sure you are aware....it's friggin winter!:shake:

Seriously though, check the storyboard, there are plenty of stories in there.
More importantly, is that your rx-7 in the sig? I had 3 in my time. Nice...:rasta:
.....for a single guy!

My rx-7 pics are buried in the gallery somewhere, along with a couple 8 second rotorys.

Any how, welcome. Are you interested in the MM, or just killing time?

Here are a few small pics to bring back some old memories for you LOL :)

Actually, I am shopping around for a big cruiser that's comfortable and hauls ass. I take frequent trips to see my folks out of town, and the little Rx7 is getting a bit weary to drive for long haul, 250-mile round trips.

The MMs are cool cruisers. Love the all-black subtlety. Didn't know they could be modded to Logan's specs though.

I was approached by one of your members to see about MM owners participating in my IRP Road Course event scheduled for July 30. Apparently my event coincides with your national MM event.

I can't mention the details, b/c I don't want to be perceived as a "vendor" that has not paid an advertising fee.

Just sharing some experience from other car lists...

...insurance and factory folks can be found to lurk on these kinds of enthusiast boards / lists and there have been instances (some folks in my immediate vicinity, too) where warranty work has been denied simply based on what was discussed on these media, whether true or invented. In one particular case, a link to a person's web site was posted, where mods were described in detail. Warranty work was promptly denied. Lots of $$ was lost.

Just thought I'd throw that out in the open for consideration....

[CRUZTAKER]

Thanks for the pics Manny. And thanks for helping out planning team.

I grew up driving / racing rotorys, nice reflections. I so much like the bigger car, and likely at this point in my life never turn back. That is until we retire in St. Thomas, USVI. Then I see a boat and a harley, some cool waves, and tasty ....!

Thankfully, my car has long-past the warranty period (117,000+).

I guess I shouldn't have mentioned Logan's cruiser?

As I understand it, the Ford factory does allow approved tuners to mod their cars, ie, the Kenny Brown Marauder as an example?

Dinan and AMG or factory-authorized tuners for BMW and Mercedes-Benz, just as Mazdaspeed is Mazda's Japanese tuner for the Rx7.

As I recall, Logan's M2 is a Kenny Brown "Raider", no?

Damn retiring @ 38? I need to win the lottery LOL :)

Well looks like you've been there, done the "racing" thing already.

BTW, I already have one Kenny Brown M2 owner sign up as a participant.

Cheers, and thanks for the warm welcome!

You say?

Well...I haven't KILLED Marty.....yet.:uzi:

It is in fact a Trilogy S/C car. Did the work himself.

Welcome to the site..

I'll bet that'll help your off-the-line quite a bit, no?Mine is a 1999, so it's somewhat less in a few ways than the one in the picture. The frame I believe was strengthened since then. The stock engine comes with 24 more horses (39 with the handling package)...the steering wheel has cheap plastic controls, not like what you have, and the steering isn't as tight as the newer ones I don't think. Either way, I do like my car, it's a car that I think is one to be proud of, by all means. Even if there are lots of other cars, including ricers way faster than mine, I know my car still has a bigger back seat, is way more comfortable and will hold up way better in an . Either way, I'd MUCH rather have a Marauder. For the shortcomings of my car, the Marauder makes up for, in every way...doesn't miss a thing as far as I'm concerned! Yes my off-the-line times are quicker, and so my rolling from 5 or so mph, and so it is when I floor it from any speed. I am grateful, and it could be worse, but I've been with it for quite a while now, and I've been with worse, so I get to complain here and there;) :D

[Patrick]

I would post of the one of me versus the VIPER, but I guess that would be sucide!!!!!!!!!! :bigcry:

Ahh, you're right. I just read Logan's sig. Thanks for the welcome.

There's one up here in Tacoma that is real sweet. Does some nice wheel stands. Owned and raced by a long time rotary mechanic/garage owner.

[Paul T. Casey]

Won't hear too many kill stories here, cars are too big, too slow, drivers are too old. I did hear a rumor though of someone's wife ratracing someone else's car in a parking lot, possibly blowing doors off some sort of Chevy, but it's just a rumor. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

No rumor...the lovely Mrs. Casey was taking on ALL comers...:burnout:

Oh yeah....in MY car :lol::lol:

[RCSignals]

Lets not forget the infamous Sable story

[martyo]

Oh never mind. I thought this was going to be a good thread. I thought it said "Where are all the Kilt Stories."

Gotta run back to work. That's all for me. See ya all later.....

[teamrope]

....and would that be Dave Atkins of Adkins rotory? I get around man! That's the one. Daves about as good a man as they come. I've only taken my Chevelle to the track once, and he helped me out when it kept tossin fan belts. Real nice guy.

[MDC-1]

Yes, Atkins Rotary is well-known in my circle.

Except for the Marauders @ Kenny Brown, I don't see too many in town; the national event in Indy oughta raise a few eyebrows?

Cheers!

[teamrope]

Yes, Atkins Rotary is well-known in my circle.

He don't care much for he baggy pants ricer crowd.

A few years back he quit going to the track formerly known as Seattle International Raceway. It was ricer night, and when he beat team Honda, The little creatons in the stands were flipping him the bird. :shake:

Jim, I'd much rather have your car than any rice burner machine, but if you were saying that your car is quicker off the line than Marauders are, then look at my 0-60MPH time listed in my signature. Perhaps you were talking about a comparisant of off the line quickness between your car and a completely factory stock Marauder. Ofcourse mine isn't bone stock.......but it will smoke any Marquis off the line. ;)

[CRUZTAKER]

Hey G-MAN, were you at Ennis? Ask Marty about this one and only Marquis than showed up. I can't remember his name, and I do believe he is a member.

This Marquis LS would give you a run for the money, 13.2'S all day.
So never say any, cause there's always one wise guy out ther with a blower packed into the most unlikliest of cars!

I dont' want "any rice burner" either...I'm very happy with my car...I have to be! It'll be mine for years of college and it'll be taking a lot of crap.:shot: :)

Yeah, that Marquis is sweet as hell...

[BillyGman]

Cruz, and Woaface, according to that guy's sig, he runs 14.2's NOT 13.3's. So that's precisely why I've made that statement. But if there's some type of misunderstanding on my part about that, then please correct me. (Thanks MM03MOK. I remembered seeing some of the guy's posts before, but I couldn't remember his username).
