equipe2500's 1999 Mercury Cougar The money shot..

So a little about the car, I got it at the end of Augest of 2005. I was looking at a few other cars after my LeMans blew it's tranny. I was looking at a Focus sedan before this but timing wasn't right. My brother told me a family friend was trying to get rid of their Cougar so I picked it up. I fell in love with it right away, it had everything I wanted and more. When I got her it was 100% stock, not even tint. It had fairly low milage as well 64,000km. Now when ever I see the previous owners they always tell me how they miss that car, and are happy I keep it in good shape.. well baby it.

Little about me: I'm 23 years old loved car's ever since I can remember but haven't worked on them much until I got my LeMans which was just some minor TLC stuff. I'm a second year Paramedic student so modifying car's isn't exactily easy when tuition is there kicking my butt every semester. So no, I don't have mommy or daddy paying for anything I wouldn't want them to. Everything I have done to the Cougar is from my pocket with my blood and sweat. Other then that enjoy! Write in the guest book if you love it or hate it, it may give me some ideas.
