Thanks man!

I just think the paint is starting to show some age now though. I guess it's not bad for 5-year-old paint and being outside for most of the five years.

I kinda want your car! lol

I was wondering when someone was going to notice that. lol

I pulled into a gas station that had a big pothole that I didn't see until it was too late! :mad: I found out later that a lot of people have damaged their cars in that same hole.

I've been wanting to replace it, but the type of tips that I have are kind of expensive (stainless steel). I'll have it replaced by spring hopefully.

Must have been a really big pot hole. Well if that's all the damage, it's not so bad.

Yeah, I did a lot better than someone I spoke to about that same hole. They damaged both their front and rear bumpers along with their exhaust! That would suck!

My dad was a savior on that by giving me a '90 Bronco! Note: I needed a truck or SUV for moving purposes. 

His exact words were, "If I give you the Bronco will you keep the Cougar?"

God bless him for that!
