Well guys, I have been just a tad bit frustrated lately, from a moulding replacement that ended in a window needing to be replaced, to the engine tapping noise that has now distinctly turned into a tick, to my a/c compressor making chirping noises when it cycles on and off, to having a less than desirable dealership experience. So, with it being such a beautiful day today, I took out my Atlas of Ohio, and planned out a nice peaceful driving trip to remind myself what makes the Marauder so damn special. To anyone who just wants to go hit the road and take some personal time to enjoy by yourself, this is a route I would highly recommend to anyone. A near 100 mile magical route through farmlands, through densly wooded area's, while going through small communities and cities that you would have sworn have ceased to exist. It's literally a magical carpet ride with you, the open road, your Marauder, and the bugs that will be comitting suicide on your windshield. It started in Newtown where you take Rt 32 Eastbound till you intersect with Oh RT 222 southbound. Once you get on Rt 222, it will take you around nice flat farmlands, through nice dense wooded area's, around sharp corners, and over nice hills. On your trip down, you'll pass through small towns that you never knew existed. The last leg of the trip down 222 get's exciting as you start going down a hill in a scenic drive that takes you ultimately down to the OH River, where you'll turn onto Rt 52 back towards Cincinnati. While the drive wasn't exactly challenging like driving on OH RT 26 was, it's more of a peaceful drive that helps you sort out your thoughts, and let's you enjoy your car at a leisurely pace. On my drive, I ran into some unique cars like a Land Rover Defender 110(super ultra rare), a Viper, 3 red Vette's, a Porshe Carrera, Porshe 911 Turbo, and an M5. This is going to be a drive that really helps you get in touch with yourself, and you'll ultimately end up returning home with a smile on your face, knowing that you bought one of the most unique cars that are available today. After returning home to my driveway, I could help but feel disappointed that it was over already............

And if you like twisties, try Indiana highway #1 from 74 into lawrenceburg. Nice winery on the way, and at the end you can stop and gamble at the Argosy casino. :up: I make that trip from home about 3 or 4 times a year, and St. Rd 1 was made for the MM
