Congrats Brad!
It was 12 years and 2 months ago I was all giddy when I picked up my "almost new" Marauder. With only 14,340 miles it is still the newest car I've ever owned! (Besides the wife's fleet of new cars)
I'll never forget noticing the premium fuel only on the dash and ZERO tire spin at its first green light off the lot... I spent the entire first five days (CarMax return policy) TRYING to find another dislike.. I found a tire shake and some bad, actually horrible paint prep but they went to town with new front tires and about eight hours of detail to make things right. Didn't matter, I was set on keeping it by then.
Short learning curve for their tech though.. rotating tires to rid a shake and the customer (me) laughs and simply says over the phone "okay cool, but you might wanna take a step back and look at the big picture now". Hence the new shoes.

Thanks justbob , I was down for three years on my rebuild, so I'll call it 10 years with the Marauder.
My delivery was super easy because I was working at Buss Ford and I had my paperwork all complete and financing prearranged.
I did take it for a ride, prior to signing the contract.
I thought the Marauder was all powerful, when I took it for my first ride.
I found this site and had seat time in several FI Marauders, thats all it took.
Its been a wild ride and lots of blood sweat & tears!
