I voted Bird I must it is my pride and joy. Besides all 3 of the cougars that I own are already outside. Da bird in the shop and the house on FIRE!  straight the bird is getting pulled out of the shop. 2 of my cougars are in storage elsewhere. I would have to save the bird. But once the bird is done and I get a title to my 85XR7 I'm gonna work it over. I like the Birds' most then comes the Cougars then I guess if I must the stang comes into play. Not that the Stang is bad just everybody has one kinda Like a 69'camaro or a 57 Chevy bel air.

Food for thought - since someone must've figured after the "club" post that it would be fun to pit us against each other - which almost never happens here BTW.

I wonder if this vote would go a whole different way if we were referring strictly to 4-eyed cars...I'd pick a 4-eye cougar over a 4-eye T-bird anyday...story obviously changes when I look at the '87-'88's though.

i like the looks of cougars more, but if it were me personally. i'd save my bird. its the lowest milage, best condition bird ive ever seen (in real life) by far. not only that, but ive spent what i paid for the cougar in parts alone for the bird. thats a hell of a dent in my pocket. it'd suck having to igve up the DD cougar...but i think if my house burned down, i'd have alot more to worry about.

I wonder how many of those cars sold have visited this site?
If everybody thats been through here had at least 1, including visitors. I'm sure it would be a good amount of cars.

and no, I wasn't getting at anything with the "club post". like I said it was a stupid question. (in case anyone was wondering)

Back to the original post---------

I honestly would pick the car i put the most into. that would include time , driving and memories. (the reason i'm not trashing my car).
