Can't say that it was me, but I've done it before.  one tire fire rear-end sucks in the mud.  Good thing I've got buddies with 4x4's.

No, that would be using a Cougar for a specific purpose. Nothing wrong there.
This guy is just being an ass.

K good :p.  It's one of my more ambitious, long term projects.  Just wanted to make sure so I don't post a video like that of a test run and get showered with a lack of support and a rather sour responce.  Besides...he's havin some fun...if I had a beater Coug/Bird and a flat mud field I'd prolly do it too.  What if the doors were falling off, the undercarriage is shot, there are holes in the floor?  Or it doesn't have a title?  Would it be so wrong to do that then?  Cuz if I posted a video of what I do to my sundance here and it got back to the Allpar forum...they'd prolly have the same reaction.  Yet they don't know that it whacked a deer and is no longer road worthy.

Eh...I understand why ranting about this is neccessary...but I think there are more important things...such as the ization of TC's....honestly for the money paid to get that good of a TC...a 3.8 Bird or a Sport could be had...the front end swapped, the suspension stiffened and the rear converted to Trac-Lok.  All for the torque of a V8....I'm tryin to find another 88 TC but it seems they are all getting c00ched up for killer deals by V8 enthusiasts who...well swap swap swap.  That's just my stance...an opinion from a 2.3 guy....I love V8's as well...but I'd first buy a 5.0 and make it my own than take someone's TC and...."waken it up".

honestly...i couldnt car less what the guy does too his car. it could be a toilet of a car or it could be a low mileage or custom car like erics....any one of you could take a flame thrower to your cars and i couldnt care less. its your car. makes no differance too me. i might think your either just a little bit "slow" or a complete idiot though....
 
granted if it was a shiznitbox ready for the bone yard id likely do the same thing, as any car deserves a good beat run before it gets put down.

Ive taken my 3.8L offroading before, more like a joke. My friend had an S10 that he thought was an uber offroad truck, and i gave him shiznit saying "man, my thunderbird could hang in this shiznit", he didnt believe me, so the red bird saw a little bit of offroading

Probably why it needs tie rod ends
It's Gumby's fault.

I've had ever car I've ever owned off-roading, sometimes even intentionally :D

Even the white T-Bird had an off-road type excursion when I was looking to buy land and was driving a dirt road (the Volvo was engineless at the time, so I was winter-driving the 'Bird) - the warm weather here this year has been hell on the roads, and this one was particularly soft - about halfway up a hill all forward motion ceased and the car promply dug itself to the axles in mud. I ended up backing down the hill in mud so deep it was sing the floor, spinning one rear wheel the whole way down (and thoroughly covering the car in mud), but I got out and didn't need a tow truck :D I did need to hit a car wash tho :hick:

heh, I won't even begin to say what my Thunderbirds have been in/through...
Suffice it to say, between 3 farms totalling over 470 some acres, they've been thoroughly off-roaded!

The '89 has carried at different times two engines and a transmission in the trunk, also had about 100 pounds of large rocks one time, for about a 200 mile trip, that was fun!
 
But I ain't never carried a lawnmower ON the trunk lid before...
In the trunk is a different story :giggle:
'98 Explorer 5.0
'20 Malibu (I know, Chevy, but, 35MPG. Let's go brandon, eh)
