When I pass my road test (June 30th), I will be receiving my father Mercury Marauder (bought February). He will be getting himself a new Marauder in Blue, and I will be getting the one he has now which is black. Just thought I would share this.
 
very nice.. lucky bastard..... my first car was an 82 cutlass supreme..which i promptly totalled. and you will too.. be careful out there.
 
Wow, 4 or 5 posts, and not one real flame yet...I'm surprised.

Congrats. I'm trying to decide on when to discuss with my parents the issue of letting me lease a Grand Cherokee...should be interesting.

isn't a Marauder a little...big, for a young kid?
 
I got a 1984 Cadillac EL DARADO!
Which got replaced by a 1994 camry that I share with my twin sister....

We still have the cadi, it just dont run so good.

I would have loved to have a Marauder when I was a kid. Big, relatively powerful (although for how much it costs, I think you should get a whole lot more power), and something not all the kids have.

I drive a 2000 Nissan Quest a lot (moms car). That car you REALLY have to try to get a speeding ticket.

I actually like a big car rather than a SUV. My dad asked me when I firsted started driving whether I like cars or SUV's. At this point in my life I have no need for a SUV (although they are accomodating at times). I prefer a larger car for a few reasons. #1) It has more room (I am not a very skinny person), #2) Can bring friends when I need, #3) It looks nicer than a ricebox.

It has enough power (302 HP at the flywheel). And yes, no one at my school, or in my community for that matter has a Marauder (community is 30000+). Although, there are people with Vipers, Ferraris, Lamborghini's, etc...
 
Take your car to Kenny Brown and ask them to turn it into a Maruader S. Or actually, ask your dad to do that to his Maruader.
 
i remember the days where you work your ass off to get your first car..a satisfaction that you yourself earned. nowadays parents buy kids expensive cars right when they start driving...its really a shame. i sure as hell would never buy my kid a new car when he starts drivin...hell be driving a POS just like the other kids.

I was thinking about doing that later on, but not now. After I actually am driving it, and have had it I may do that.

Hey, I will be paying insurance, and was originally supposed to buy it. It was a surprise to me when I found out he was giving it to me. I have bought everything else I ever owned (well not clothes/education/food things like that, but personal things like comps phones, etc...) . I buy the majority of my things, unlike other who recevie everything.

First of all, its not 40000, it is 30000. Second of all, it has ~10000 miles on it, and by the time I get it it will have closer to 11000 (my dad drives back and forth to the city for work, and around the city looking at sites. He owns a rigging company and must look at the work sites prior). It is a new car, but it isn't a "new" car if you understand what I am saying.

wheeee, visit my town. 🙂 At least a couple of Escalade EXTs in the parking lot...but that's not even that bad. As with all cities, we have private schools near here, where the worst car is a new Saab...the average SUV is the RX300/Range Rover Discovery...

ah well.
