well, not 'new' new, but new to the cougar. since the t-birds up on jacks stands, i felt it couldnt hurt to get some new tires and throw some snowflakes on the cat.

I think the turbines look better.They just need to be cleaned.The snowflakes just say "Turbo Coupe Thunderbird".Plus,in my own opinion,even though the turbines are 15's,they look tougher.
:iagree: with Vinnie
+2
But if you like it better, thats what counts.

I like the snow flakes better. I ran them on my 88 and my 83.
Ya know really I do like 'em too. Correlating the with the TC so strongly is what gets me. But if I can like SHOVE that aside for just a split second I go "oh. niiiice"
Turbines!!!!
yea, i know the turbines look tougher, but they're only 15's and they had bald tires on them, the 'flakes had 2 brand new tires on them already and i had 2 70% tread tires laying around, so this is alot cheaper. they looked awesome on the t-bird though, so i figured what the hey. and they look alot better then expected, i actually been putting this off for a while because i thought they wouldnt look good at all.
and i'm not sure if it was the change from worn out tires to new tires or if it was the 15's to 16's change, but the thing handles noticably better. i have to say its the 16's cus i dont remember being able to take corners like this even with fresh 15's. and the 15's were wider then these 16's (235/60R15 vs 225/60R16)
i'll run these a while longer, see if i get sick of them or not.
We still love you.............. in a manly,not gay kind of way (disclaimer for you guys with your mind in the gutter.LOL.
Hey dont feel ya gotta be reponsible for us degenerates! It's a nasty job....someone's gotta enjoy it!!!

Either way looks good, just please take an hour or two and polish the Cougar. That car would look amazing with a polish I promise. I like your Coug too.
haha, i've been putting off waxing that car for a while now havent i? when spring time hits for good, hopefully i'll get around to that.
Well, this degenerate likes the turbines more. IMO, the snowflakes look "too busy" in the wheel well, especially with the ground fx. However, give it time, eventually you'll decide on what ya like.
It looks like it's time for a replacement fender.I'm working on that for the Sport.I just hate pulling the antenna cable to replace the fender.
I have a pair of fenders, and a TC hood for him, he just has to come get it!
haha, yeah, i really need to get around to that, maybe next sunday if thats good for you shawn. the worst part is having to drive the minivan to get all that.:burnout:
i do like driving the cougar more now, it feels so much more sure-footed. im more confident around corners. i like that.
