The day has come!

For the Cougar to be retired from DD duty. For 121,000 I got more then my fair share of practically trouble free miles. The mileage though has begun to take it's toll and I just don't have the time to do whats required to it while using it every day. I took it off the road so I can fix everything and eventually return it to the road. I'm going to really miss driving it, although the new DD is helping to keep my mind occupied. I bought an 04' RX8

It's a shame

But I'm very glad you got so many miles out of the Cougar. And I'm happy she's staying around! Good luck with your mini-overhaul. I hit 105,300 this morning, and only hope for a few good more years, too!

Have any pics of the RX8?

Thanks Mel, the cougar was starting to worry me. It started to make a different noise every week and the trans was starting to slip. I couldn't deal with something major breaking and not being able to get around. She's sad now though....her left rear tire was flat this morning. She'll be happy and good as new when I'm done with her!!

Due to lack of a digital camera I'll have to make due with the ones I saved from the ad.

Gorgeous..spcs on that thing...mind me asking how much you paid? See those things all the time on DPA, rwd is crazy!

Thanks.

1.3L's of rotary goodness. In 04' it was rated at 238hp, after the SAE revisions 232hp....6MT, GT package. The guy had it on his lot for a while and was looking to get it moving so I got a good deal on it at 17,600 out the door.
