Everybody else has one. This might be a doomed thread, but what the hey...
Man, I have never been so tempted to get rid of this Cougar. Stor-n-Sell by my house has a 98 Grand Prix GTP - 2 DOOR! - black, for $6300. I have always wanted a GTP, but you hardly ever see the 2-door model, for some reason. And the black ones are equally scarce; it seems I always see red or silver ones. SO HOT! But man, I do love my manual transmission. That's the real deal-breaker right there. If the GTP came with a stick, I would be rockin the Poncho right now...
In other news, I washed the Cougar today. I went to a RollerGirls Halloween party last night, and parking was in this field, and I got STUCK up to my AXLES in mud. So needless to say, it was a mess. If I'd have known the ground was so soft, I'd have never gone. They had to pull 3 other people out of the mud that night; but my car was the lowest, so they couldn't use the tow hook; just had to push
And in still other news, I noticed yesterday that my IMRC linkage was broken
Of all the stupid things, the little white clip had come off, and was gone. So even though I could have gone to pick-n-pull and grabbed one for free, I actually went to Keim Ford (which is like 2 miles from my house) and paid 6 bucks for one. So I fixed the IMRC and also installed a new fuel pump (stupid me - I had just filled the tank the night before. Why!?!?!), since my old one (that I bought new about 6 months before the recall) was taking a dump on me.
So anyway, the Cougar is clean again, and I need to take some photos of the interior since I have blacked everything out (well - almost everything) but Lisa left the digicam at her mother's house, 2 hours away. But I did take a couple of sound bytes of my exhaust, which are here:
Inside:
Outside:
I'm sick for my Flowmaster. That's why I've never upgraded my stereo system. Who needs music when you get to listen to that all the time?
