I love my cougar because i can identify with it. Any moron can go buy a mustang or a camaro and say "Look at me! I have a hotrod! Woo hoo!" but with a cougar there is a connection. Like me, the cougar is misunderstood, underappreciated, a little heavier and under estimated. I love my cougar because i know the entire cougar community feels the same pain for our cars that i do.
Preach on Brotha, Preach on!
ok, we need to have a separate drunk post forum!
i haven't touched any booze since i became legal to drink it. lol out of nowhere just decided to speak my mind.
This is one of the many reasons I bought a Fox that doesn't happen to be a Mustang. While attempting not to conform might be comformity in itself, I have to believe the pride we take in our more unique cars is a feeling that cannot be matched by the Mustang community.
I feel the same about my mark! But i get a 5.0 ho!
You get a HO and a few extra pounds of weight but you save a little money on engine swap for more mods to make up for it all.
same reason i got a T-Bird
Only 80s mustangs i think are kind of cool is the 2.3L SVO and a T-Top fox body and sometimes a nice fixed up coupe.
Fly with the birds or run with the cats but Horses are made for pulling things!
I actually Sold my 86 hatchback to buy the cougar. I fell in love with it the first time i saw it. It was so ugly and dirty, I had to save it, lol. I actually called about a motor for sale in the classifieds, it turned out he was gonna yank the one in the cougar and sell it!!! then he was gonna s the body!!!! I'm really glad i saved this car, and i know the only way i will get rid of it is if something REALLY bad happens.
PLUS its great to destroy cars who think they are fast in my black brick!!!
I just do. I don't need a reason. So, there! :raspberry
I just love pullin up to a light in my underrated, understated, stock-lookin Tbird next to some decked out ricer that people think is hot stuff, then just smokin em. It flies under the radar but appears when needed :) .
Hello
I bought my 86 bird back in 97. I have drive it hard had H.O. parts in over the years and broke some part which were all minor fixes. Best $1000 bucks I ever spent. When I bought it, It was in perfect shape. At the time I was looking for a stang but oh well got a bird instead. Now I have my stang but still enjoy the bird.
igiveup
Me too. My Cougar kicks ass!
Yup thats how I ended up with the blue max, I was working for a guy who had a Mustang for sale I couldnt afford it and he sold me the cougar instead.
I fell in love with my mistress at a young age, when i was 9 (Im 22 now) to be exact at that point i asked my grandmother when i could have the car, now its mine. I feel bad the cirspoogestances under which i received the vehicle but i still love it just as much as i did my grandparents.
Birds are my prey!..Thats for vinnie!!
A bird in the cats mouth is 2 ricer's in the bush.
I like the fact thats theres not many driving around in good enough shape to notice and in a town of 250,000 people everyone knows my car no matter where i go. Also the fact mustangs are my favorite part car makes a 5.0 T-Bird nice to have and get parts for. In fact after i get my car done mostly i am buying a 2nd T-Bird and gonna start over or maybe save up and buy someones half done T-bird or mostly done. Theres not another 80s car thats nice on the inside and cheap and under rated that i would want to spend this much time fixing up.
I used to love my Cougar. When mom and dad brought it in 2002, it didnt have an engine. It had like 6 or 7 diferent colours. But i fell in love instantly. I loved the growl of the 3.8 without ler (two years later i put a ler) and i drove it to somewhere i wanted. I didnt bother about gas prices, just fill up and go. 5 of every 7 days the car got washed. That was true love...........until somebody hit the fender. Two years and the car doesnt run for more than 5 miles a year. I start it every now and then. But I simply can let it go. So its still waiting the day, when i`ll jump in the car and start the engine....and again, eat miles like there is no tomorrow....Thats love.....
Sorry you said eat miles reminds me of Pac-Man. I hate your story hope you get it running again where you can turn the key and if it starts drive for miles without getting board.
