my 88LS

alright here it is my screen namesake. 88 LS cougar with the dreaded 3.8 V6 and yes i bought it for cheap because it had a blown headgasket but i got that fixed. Bone stock and gets about 25-27 mpg average, on a trip on the highway i got 29.5. The handcuffs on the rearview are just a decoration ;)
its dirty and in a field but i was out shooting

Nice looking car with a lot of potential.New wheels and tires,and a good cleaning and that car would look like it has a whole new attitude.Do you have future plans for the car or are you keeping it as it is?

yeah I agree, it has potential...  swap out that boat anchor motor and drop an 5.0L in it...

its my daily driver, i'm eventually going to put some black turbines on it and give it a good detail job. i have put 36,000 miles on it since i have had it and other than eating two fuel pumps and an alternator it has served me reliably
