oh how I know that feeling... infact I just had the same discussion with my father about 2 hours ago when I mentioned I wouldn't be coming over in July because I needed to spend time with the car, getting things ready for Cougarfest.
Old friends of the family are visiting him sometime which has yet to be determined (i.e. no advance notice) and he says "i'm sure you could find time to come over for an afternoon/evening"
hmmmmm, we'll see, but no promises!

Almost 6 years old coming up June 15... one of the youngest. Original owner.

Does anyone know the initial and ending production dates for the cougar?

I seem to be in this endless fight with the GF that I 'ditched' her to hang out with my car for her 9th birthday last weekend.

its like seriously WTF, I've talked about it endlessly for months. That I was doing nothing on the 17th so I could hang out with my car, Its a national holiday as far as I am concerned, and I repeated it over and over again. I mentioned it again like a week and a half ago my intentions and with genuine suprise she said "oh, I thought you were joking about that"... ummm, no. Then the next week she bugged me about it several more times, each time this is like the first time in the world it had ever been mentioned. Then on saturday [the 17th] she's texting me at noon... come over when your done... done with what, celebrating the day with my cougar??!? "well fine if your not coming out here, I'm coming there"... ummm noooo. [side note to that, I was also redoing all the electrical in my apartment, so all the circuits were shut off, so its like what are you going to do? sit in the dark? no absolutely not].

anyways I'm thoroughly pissed about the whole thing. I've been with her a hair under a year now and I've always given her full access to my life and in that time I think there have been 3, THREE occasions that I've had an event where she hasnt been invited. Now I could care less if she doesnt understand or care, but when I spend months talking up something I was doing by myself and you repeatedly ignore that and get pissy about it.... well you'll find out very quickly which of the 2 women in my life is going to win out.

theres my rant.

I've been turning very hank hill lately.

best quote ever.

"Theres only 2 women in my life: Peggy Hill and sweet miss propane. Me and Peggy have an understanding about her"

anyways its great to see that we still have original owners on the board. 10 years for a car is not a trivial amount of time.

I agree.
I was just thinking about this topic this morning. I was thinking to myself "who on NECO would NEVER EVER sell their car (like me)" Matt was definitely the first person I thought of.

Well if I only drove my car when it wasn't raining, and there were no more than 8 clouds in the sky and the temperature never dropped below 60* including a sea breeze I would feel like I had a new car too.

The car is bonded to me, and I to it... its like the ring in Lord of the Rings, or the Dark Side of the force in Star Wars. I needs it!!

i got an offer of 15k euros for my car the other day. It was sitting outside the audio installers garage and some random guy came in and made the offer.

I was flattered, but i declined.
