V.I.P Parking for DTR's only!!
I would like to hear from my fellow peeps what your significant other thinks, feels, love or hates about your Marauder.

After almost 3 years, supercharger installed, Wilwoods, Addcos, and J-mod she still thinks of it as a grandpas car. She love how nice it's rides and how comfortable it feels. Just hates how big it is and is not a fan of the basic look of the Grand Marquis grandpa stigma look of the Mighty Merc. I see her cut a smirk at times when I step on the go go pedal.

My wife took the Merc to work yesterday and while at the gas station, some questionable socialites Tax dollar sucking degenerates came over by her and was asking about the car. Needless to say she was a little freaked.

My daughter tells me it's a fast cool grandpas car. When her and I are doing burouts and WOT runs she will yell. "This is not a drill people!!" oh that. Cracks me up.


What about you guys?

she hates it cause when i go WOT she scared s**tless, and im not even gone to talk about a burnout:burnout:
 
She loves the MM, the ride, the comfort, and understands the unique character of the car.

She likes the people that she has met through the MM events that we have attended together.

She hates all the time I spend on washing, waxing and cleaning "The Damn Thing" and obsessing over it. But ..... she understands why I do. :D

She knows where I am and what I am doing when I'm in the MM.
 
Neither of us had seen our DTR until the day we picked it up, 7+ years ago. She screamed in my ear excitedly "IS THAT OUR CAR?" Loves it more than I do and I'll be gone before it is...
 
The wife was like whatever at first then noticed how many people "notice" the black taxi cab with chrome rims...but over the years and thousands in go fast parts she now loves it! She will drive and mash the go pedal for instant stress relief. Just last night after dinner on the way home she exercised the this very same procedure...lol
 
My wife hates it and wants me to sell it to buy something newer. She thinks its an old peoples car.

But she also likes the attention it gets and finally admitted it was a cool looking car. She does get scared whenever I nail it. I'm afraid she will rip the inner door panel off one of these days.
 
I WAS married when I bought my MM almost 9 1/2 years ago, she never liked the grandpa car, and said that I loved it more than her. (There's your sign! Jealousy) Fast forward, the girlfriend loves the car, :up::up:. That sealed the deal!

She hates it.. Says I wash it to much...

Melanie hates my car and it is apparant my car hates her. Constantly shutting her hair in the door, corner of door into the boobie trick, and so on... She mostly doesn't like it because she is scared of how I feel about it, therefor she is scared to drive it or park it somewhere. (First and only major scratch was installed at her place of work in '04). BUT, she does really well with trying to show interest, and it shows. She has learned so much by hearing me talk and watching me work. It's like dealing with a blow up doll. It keeps me happy, and poses no real threat...

This post is rated E for everyone.
 
My wife shook her head after I (unintentionally) totaled the Grand Marquis and went looking for a Marauder.

Shes used to driving in the GM with the 2.73's, 70mm MAF, untuned 2v motor...

Now, with the Marauder and the few mods done to it, she understands and appreciates the differences btw. the two cars and enjoys it.

Like with Justbob, shes learned a lot from me telling her about the things I learn about the car. (which most of the credit goes to everyone here on this "site")

It's funny too cause she even knows more then some Mustang owners that she works with!

And now I'm shaking my head at her cause after painting my calipers red, she wants her Fusion's calipers painted bright pink...

Joey and Bob you already know I gotta hide the keys from the wife! You'll see her driving me around because she constantly bothers me to drive Merideath and I eventually give in! I blame her Dad... Mrs. was a tomboy growing up and was Daddy's girl. According to the Mrs her Dad was a gear head out in Hawaii and took her down the racing track several times. She remembers her Dad telling her that if Mom asks don't tell her where she went. Lol, she didn't lie to mom or would be so excited that she forgot to tell Mom something else, hence a fight began between Mom and Dad. When i finally met the Father in law all we did was talk cars and i felt right at home, btw thanks for the blessing Pops! Father in law has owned several Chevelles and Impala SS in his day! We're actually thinkin' of purchasing something similar or a SB MARAUDERin the future. I'll say it again... We were minutes short of purchasing Rider90's MARAUDER, but BradleyG ruined that for us. LMAO, Brad you'll never hear the end of it!

Update: Mrs. Confirmed a 1980's quote when she was a child. Her dad said, "Don't tell your mom where we went, if she asks tell her we went to get ice cream!" -Papa Wayne-

Mine threatened to trade hers in for a minivan. She said she just wants to go to and from work in peace rather than driving a conversation piece. She says she already has enough friends. However, she loved MV-9!
 
Momma loved the DTR and the Blue, that is until I started doing mods to the DBP.

At first, the 4.10 gears and tune were "annoying"; she hates the car since I got the "stupidcharger" installed... :rolleyes:, but she enjoys going to the meets. My daughter hates it too (she's the one who coined the name for the Eaton), she's afraid of it. :shake:

Any guesses as to what E-Dubb thinks about it? ;) -----> :D
