hey everybody, just figured i'd make my first post and say hello, here awhile back i bought an 88 LS cougar,for $400 bucks, had a bad headgasket. Its nothing special, its black with the gaudiest porno red interior you can imagine. its a 3.8 V-6, of course i didnt buy it for performance i bought it for gas mileage, because my F-150 gets about 15 mpg. this is going to be my driving to work car. I also have a 84 mustang GT with about 3k in the motor, she runs 14.1's without catching traction,but i blew up the rearend at the track back in april, waiting on my 3.73 gears for the 8.8

here are some py pics of the cougar and mustang, cougar pics were taken with my cellphone, i apoligise for the blurriness
