Picked up another ford...its like a virus!
Well, after i had some minor mechanical issues with the bonneville, which have now been fixed, i bought a 1983 Mercury Cougar. It was old, i thought it was cool, had a V8 among other things, and started plans to replace the engine with a 351. well, I just ended up buying another car! my now third running driving car is a 1974 Mercury Cougar XR7 with that coveted 351 in it! and its leather!
Yeah its huge, 2 inches short of 18 feet long!

mileage is an EXCELLENT question...cant remember, Ill have to check next time im at the car, its across the city right now, and i have no gas...haha whoops.
biggest thing that throws me off tho, everything is in miles, and my head doesnt do the conversion well enough to km...probably gonna get a speeding ticket next summer.
