Some of you may have wondered why Mr Johnson hasn't done *anything* he had planned for this summer wrt mods. Well, here's the answer. The Lexus is gone and it's been replaced with this.

I love the Marauder. 300 horses, RWD and LSD makes for fun. I like the look too, big chrome tips, blacked out everything, 18s stock. It just needs some tinting. It's quite rare up here in Canada, but it is a bit pricey.

Mr. Johnson you are a d*ck. :D And I mean that in the nicest possible way... LOL.

Anyway, CONGRATS. How's the Marauder? I'd really like to know your impressions. Seems like a great value, but I wonder how fast is it and how does it handle? I'm sure it's a lot of fun to drive.

Mr. J. I'm sure you know this by now but they do make a supercharger for that car too. While at Sema this year, they had one all fixed up and I was chatting with some guys about the accessories they have out. All I can say is why not have another car pushing over 450 ponies... ;) Great cruiser you picked..

Thanks everyone!

What attracted me to was that it reminded me of my first car (1980 Impala) and the fact that it's a great cruiser, it's big, it has a nice stock exhaust note, and finally the incentives on these cars are just ridiculous. As some of you have noted, there are mods available (which played in the decision) but I did have to agree to not mod it for a while. :o

Once I've had a chance to break it in and "play" on some familiar roads I'll be sure to post my thoughts.

Hmmm.... Will tomorrow be a black day or a white day?

Peter Peter Peter, just what am I to do with you:egads:

Nice car for the money with plenty of get up and go. My first real car was a 1982 Caprice Classic V8 2 dr I love that car:eek1:

The new Corvette is really fu@#$#%ing with me. I guess time is on my side.

Good luck with the car:thumbup:

Get the Vette while you still can!

I'm much too old for a car like that. I just want to have my a** pampered. Picture it: I cruise with the windows down, hand hanging out the window, hat down low, sitting skrunched down in the seat, as I go 5 MPH through the western suburbs! LOL!!!!

Can't wait for summer!
