Some pics of my '01 Silver Frost Cougar

[wanderingmind]

I had to take some photos of my car because it is going into storage for about 5-6 months until I graduate :( You may notice in the photos that the passenger side mirror is missing and there are some dents. That is from some asshat in a huge truck that ran into me on the highway. Right after hitting me, he exited the highway. I could not follow him nor could I get his license plate since it happened so quickly :banghead:

The first few pictures are of my car and CapriciousCat00's 1999 5-speed with a 3L swap :evil: They were taken in downtown Minneapolis. The other pics are in St. Paul.

Hope you enjoyed. I know my camera is not the best in the world, nor does my car have many appearance mods. But, I love her and think she is beautiful :biggrin:

sorry to hear about the hit and run. :banghead: car still looks great, took some real nice pics too. im going the same route, the same exhaust and grille you got good taste :cool:. Only difference is im getting the grille from the ukcougar site which is i beleive cheaper than the no limit, but is the same thing. any chance of a 3L build like you buddys cougar? :evil:

I'd LOVE 3L's, but money is tight as hell, which is why the Cougar is going into storage. It's hard to pay car insurance, pay for gas and rent. On top of that, my school costs ~$13,000/semester ($26,000/year) :banghead: But, after I graduate and get situated I am definitely going to think about doing something and a 3L sounds very tempting. I might end up going with a turbo instead. But, I will probably start out with a nitrous kit for next summer and start saving for some real power :evil:. But, that's a ways off.

Cool stuff! I wanted to take more pics there but my camera decided to run out of batteries right after that shot (which happened to be the first pic I took).

[Redlineracer12]

Nice pics guys :cool:

Glad to hear you're going to store the car rather than sell it :bowdown:

:biggrin: Yeah, me too!!!! You have no idea how how glad I am. It sucks soooo bad having her in storage. I can't imagine how crappy I would feel if I would have actually sold her :(

If you don't mind, would you be able to get me a really nice high Res shot of the addition with nothing else in the foreground? I only have pictures of when it was under construction. Like this.

I can see what I can do. My car is in storage, so getting around is rather annoying (bus system). I also just started a new job, so I am quite busy. On top of that, my digital camera is at my parents house and they are out of town for a week. But, when they get home, I will get the camera and will try to get some pics for you. Keep in mind, the camera is not the best in the world.

P.S. - I think it is called the McNamara Alumni Center at the University of Minnesota. You can find some google pics of it. (http://images.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&safe=active&q=mcnamara+alumni+center+minnesota)

:eek: holy crap! thats an expensive school? thats a lot man. i agree, glad your only lockin it up instead of giving up :banana:.

When you said getting a turbo instead, your gonna turbo the 2.5 instead of spending the money for a 3L? im not sure how much turbo'in the 2.5 will run ya but for that amount of work and money why not get both :evil:. :rofl: i kno i kno its all about money. i kno what its like having to pay rent and for school, gas, atleast the gf is understanding and dosent try to make me broke :biggrin: well hope it works out good for ya.

x2 to what Tony said..but you already knew that.

It's going to be one heck of a Christmas for you this year..and Chimera and me as well!:)

P.S. Sherri at my work saw my background photo which is one of the one's from downtown and she was like, "Ohh that silver car is GORGEOUS!!" :)

[Redlineracer12]

So are you guys going to invite me next time? ;)

If we parked my cougar at the right angle, and the light hits it just right, it might look decent! If it still doesn't.... Photoshop! :rofl:

That would be one of my mini-dreams come true.. 3 MNCougars In One Pic!!:biggrin:

X2!!! Tony, we all HAVE to get together when ELISA comes out of hibernation :biggrin:

[Redlineracer12]

Sounds good to me. I drive the Cougar everywhere usually.

I wouldn't mind getting a few parts painted before a photoshoot though ;)
