Hello to all.
I know it has been forever since I have posted. After too long of being upside down on car payments (I owed $9,500 for a car worth about $4,000) I finally let my Cougar take it's final rest. Today my wife and I purchased a 2002 Ford Focus ZX3 (power package).
Thanks to everyone who has been so helpful with my Cougar. I still plan on lurking a bit around the boards even though I no longer have my kitty.
I wish everyone happy holidays!

Actually, grammaticaly saying "and that he did" would be correct. It's doing sort of a Yoda type thing on the phrase "And he did that."

Another Cougar owner lost to the Focus. :cry:
Sorry to hear it. But I got a question: How can you call anything about the focus a 'Power Package'? :cover:

The focus actually has quite a bit of get-up-and-go. It's the I4 Zetec to which there is a whole forum dedicated to its performance. The key factors for ditching my cougar were the fact that it was a blackhole of repair funds. I have had too many problems with that car @ 90,000 miles for a 1999. Also, we were upside down on the payments by over $4,000.
Also, I enjoy the fact that the Focus can be modded so easily and that it is still in production, unlike the Cougar. I loved driving my kitty, and I loved going to meets with everyone in SoCal. I plan to mod the heck out of my new car and then try to make it to a few meets with you guys if that would be alright. I had my Cougar for nearly 3 years...so it was time to move on.

Well, even though I knew this day was coming, it's still sad to see a NECO member sell or trade-in there Cougar. Hope to see ya around Ariston and your ZX3.

Power upgrades include turbo charging :)
I plan to get the following:
MAC "Shorty" Intake
Magnaflow Cat-Back Exhuast (with tip)
Those two alone will help out tremendously with the power. After that it's getting the Scorpion body kit, then the audio system, then the rims... :)
Lots to save up for...
I plan on chatting with the wife about joining everyone on the 28th...
