You'll get a kick out of this keith.  I went to the monster trucks at the nebraska state fair a couple of weeks back and there was a cougar with awsome 1/4's on it in the jumping cars.  Luckily it was in a place it didn't get a whole lot of damage.  I have pics on my phone.  I'll post them later tonight. 

I cringed everytime one truck got close.

Because, to put it bluntly, these are $200 beater cars to virtually everyone except us. It works in our favour when buying them because they're cheap (compared to Mustangs and F-bodies, f'rinstance), but it works against us in that they get no respect and have very limited aftermarket support

I saw that too. I had a poster out of a magazine once of a monster truck crushing cars. The 3rd car in line was an '87-'88 light blue LS Cougar. Now this was a long time ago too. That car was less than 10 years old since I got the magazine in '95, I think. I wish I knew where that poster is.

Yeah, I was going to go to that show at the fair, but I couldn't get anyone else interested enough to go.

Here's the Pic.

We actually got free tickets.  My step dad is a corn breeder and they have a semi and flat bed trailer to haul farm equipt. for harvesting/planting etc.  One of his co workers wives is on the fair board and needed someone to transport big foot and 2 other trucks from mc donalds or something so they didn't have to change the tires on them which i guess takes hours.
