General comments?

This car is my first car and I plan of fixing the car until it can no longer be fixed.

The car has awesome power! I have tested it against other high performance cars, and it is right up there with them!

I love this car, it is my baby. When I first got the car, I thought I had a boat.

The new Cougar that Mercury came out with doesn't even deserve the name... it looks and is nothing like the real Cougar.

I can spot a Cougar from miles away from the headlights and from the body style.

I have come to respect this car as it is more powerful than I will ever be. Long live the Cougar!

I agree. I've had my cougar for 2 years now, and I can't stop loving that car. it's a 94 with a 4.6 v8. I've replaced the tranny, rear control arms front control arms and many sets of tires. but i'll drive this car til it won't drive at all.
