Let's go back in time to last October. This is when I first started throwing around the idea of trading in the FLeetwood for a Marauder.
Looked at some Marauders online and picked the best out of those and just watched them...Several weeks go by and the bug just got bigger and bigger till we took a 1.5 hr trip to Indiana to "look" at the best of the ones I picked. Made the deal and brought her home. As I was looking the internet for all things Marauder I started lurking on MM.Net thinking it would be cool but my experiance with "car clubs" left a bad taste in my mouth. But, what the heck, worse thing is I never go back to the site...
Was immediately wlecomed to the site and , what is this, a meet in April...well we'll see how it goes. Aprile arrives we go to the hotel and the first ones I meet were DOOM, MERCMAN, CURLESS and MOTOWN. As the days went on met many of the others nad had a great time with great people. NOw the bad news...problems with the car was already plagueing me at the meet and several said try this or that...which most did not pan out as the problem...
After MANY months and even more MANY $$$ still no closer. Patience and money are quickly running out for this car until finally decided to drive it to Chris for one final attempt, fingers crossed that it would be worth it(in my eyes) to fix it. Long story short...problem solved.:rock::nworthy:
Morale of my story...if I hadn't joined this AWESOME site and went to and AWESOME meet and met AWESOME people I would still be looking at an AWESOME headache. The people you meet and become friends with here will help kick your feet out from under you and laugh at you, help you get up and laugh at you and go to great lengths to help when you're at the end of your rope...and laugh at you...but the kicker is you're laughing right along with them...
People will always bicker and fight and call names, but lets try and go back in time and remember why we all came to this site, and the meets and each others homes...a kindred spirit...
In closing, I'm giving my thanks to all on this site, and some that aren't that has helped not only me but anyone...that's what it's all about I think...:banana2:...:beer:
