Don't bust the kids balls too much for something he said like 2 months ago.  I think he's learned the lesson from that.


Yeah, though, we did all that dicking around and it turns out the old starter off the shelf in my garage worked better than the Napa reman one he bought.  We also discovered that someone hid the pass. side power seat switch under a single PS panel.

My Cougar is the "Carl B." Edition, it looks better and goes faster than regular Cougars. Also, there was only one made. :cool:

I think mercury shot out a few other Cougar special editions besides mine.  The "Eric's Convertible Special" and the "Weasle" also a very high performance "FastCat" edition was made to name a few. :grinno:

My '88 is the female estrogen hell edition. It has monthly bouts of not starting and being cranky upon turning the key. It also experiences severe mood swings where it will run perfect and one minute later leave me stranded. It likes being pampered but sometimes isn't satisfied and breaks something else.

Mine's never been housebroken.  Every time I fix a leak, a new one pops up.  Since the New motor on Jan. 18th,2006......

1.  Heater Core
2.  Brake line
3.  Rear axle -- put axle saver on
4.  Rear axle again -- the saver lasted about 3 days.  Bought new axles from Moser Engineering
5.  Transmission pan gasket -- fairly new leaked 5000 miles after fluid/filter change/new gasket
6.  Upper transmission cooler line fitting.

AND I discovered a small leak in a hose this morning as I was warming the car up getting ready to leave work and head home.....
I'm gonna go outside now with a rolled up newspaper and smack the cat on the grille......
