[work_in_progress]

Sorry to hear that. >.< Is insurance going to cover it at least?

Let me guess, it was an old woman wasn't it?! I believe they are the reason why we have to drive insured... My life has almost been clipped short or taken a different turn because of old women 3 or 4 times so far.
It's a conspiracy I swear!

:eek: Holy crap! Maybe it's time to take the keys away from G'ma ;)

Seriously though that does suck, make her pay for a new bumper with fresh paint!

[MaverickFlyer]

I don't think you can blame the Mini for hitting your bumper.

[contrapaul]

Yeah, and born in 1948 really isn't that old, my Grandpa is 88 and he still drives fine..

[CapriciousCat00]

Wow that sucks, I'm sorry! :( I can't imagine 3 in one year!!

But I'm with them, don't hate the car hate the driver! :)

How did she hit you?

He's been hit in the rear three times this year. I think he must like getting hit from behind :rofl:

That sucks Jeff. Like the others, hate the driver not the mini. My mom owns a 2005 Mini Cooper S and I have to say the car is a fugging blast to drive. So, don't hate on Mini's. ;)

So I'm assuming, "some time to think," means you're trying to decide which color paper to print off your acceptance letter on?? :)

Taras and I are not on speaking terms. He ripped me off with that car. Engine was f-ed, clutch went to $hit...I'd rather not talk about it.

How's your new vehicle?






























:cover:

:rofl: The car is great! I love Cougars :cool:

For my birthday/christmas, I am going to be begging my parents for a car audio upgrade so that it'll be *finished* for a while at least. To finish her off...Alpine Type-R comps up front and a 4-channel Alpine amp pushing 70Wx4 RMS.

I am an Alpine Type-R (w)hore. Once complete, the system will be: Alpine head unit, Alpine Type-R comps up front and Alpine Type-R 5x7's in the rear, both of which will be powered with an Alpine 4-channel. As for the sub, it is a 12" Type-R powered by, you guessed it, an Alpine amp ;)

[Redlineracer12]

Nothin wrong with that :) I'm currently thinking about getting a set of the type s 5x7 coaxials for my car as my speakers are terrible. Bass as low as it goes (-7) and they still buzz a little when I'm listening on the highway. :rofl:

Spend a bit more and get the Type-R's. You'll be much happier. The Type-S's just aren't that great.

Ikesound is a great wholesaler. You can get last years Type-R's (http://ikesound.com/product-product_id/6214)for less than Type-S's if you were going to purchase them at Crutchfield or Best Buy.

Another speaker that I would recommend would be the Polk db570's. They have pretty good highs and I was impressed with the bass response. They are about $50-60 online.

P.S. - it is best to listen to speakers before purchasing them. It is fine and dandy to hear them in a store, but hearing a particular speaker in a car is leaps and bounds better than in the store. I have the Alpine SPR-57C's, so if you want to hear them in a Cougar, I would be willing to let you listen to them sometime.

Well my newer Infinity was ok.. till i got in a bit of a accident on Mon night... rear ended this Afgan Lady who was at the end of a right handed merge.. waiting for god knows what.. i was approaching and the light changed to green so i hit the gas and turned.. well the damn lady was right there stopped and i hit my brake's and smacked the back of her... Really pissed me off.. to make a long story short, after my Suv gets fixed, i am looking at a 3L, either a coug or a countour.. they will be cheaper to insure and you get a great car for not a lot of money...

Hmmmm I'm not really looking for anything fancy though, and the cheaper the better thats for sure. I have some decent pioneers in the Contour, maybe I'll just pull those out and put them in the Cougar. I really haven't decided yet. If I were to go that route I could buy something like the Type-R's for the Contour and be happier with that. The older type r's can be found on ebay for a little less than that site you listed here ALPINE SPR-57C TYPE R 5"x7" COAXIAL SPEAKER PAIR NEW 07 - (eBay item 140175589060 end time Nov-10-07 21:44:52 PST) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ALPINE-SPR-57C-TYPE-R-5-x7-COAXIAL-SPEAKER-PAIR-NEW-07_W0QQitemZ140175589060QQcmdZViewItem) but that's still more than I can afford to spend on something like speakers when my car could use much more important things at the moment :rofl:

but, the Contour isn't using it's speakers at the moment and won't be for the next five months... ;) I'm sure it wouldn't mind right?
