Hello all.
My name is George and I've been lurking around here for about 2 weeks now. I just bought (last week) a 2000 Rio Red 2.5L MTX Cougar. This is my first Cougar, but I am a life-long Ford nut, currently owning 2 classic Mustangs and 2 generation 2 SHOs, none running except for one SHO.
I am probably outside of the "normal" demographic of this forum - being 43 yrs old. I am also Separated, 2 kids (one a senior in high school) been working for the same general employer for 23 years and a resident of Battle Creek, Michigan (but born and raised a Buckeye).
I am no stranger to Forums, so I know how to behave and have no interest in flame wars. I currently operate 4 websites as a "hobby" and have had other interests over time besides cars that these websites reflect (my nickname here is from my gaming world). In fact, I have been away from the "excitement" of cars for nearly 18 years - this car may re-ignite that interest. I already want to do several modifications - but as many of you already know, family obligations will put a big crimp on available money.
So, long story short...hello and thanks for the welcomes that are sure to come. I have already found these forums to be a wealth of information - although there is always room for improvement ;)
here is a pic of my car:
