Cat Jam 2006

Wow Steve. Looks like you have some major plans!
However, even though I respect your decision, are you sure you're making the right one? It seems like you aren't enjoying your "recreational" car, especially when it already looks so incredible. As you already know, Cat Jam's evolved into something where everyone is accepted, with or without a Cougar/Bird, in any condition. It just wouldn't be the same without people like Karen, Brian, Aaron, etc. This is coming from a guy with one of the ugliest Cougars around - it's about meeting everyone else, not judging each other's cars in terms of what's been done or upgraded. On top of that, your Cougar is one of the best looking ones in the community. I'm just lucky to own a somewhat driveable Cougar, and have bondocougar to help me out when i'm in a pinch!
It's hard to do everything I want to do to my own Cougar because I'm in school and don't work a 40-hour/week job. However, I'd gladly put off Cougar upgrades and spend a couple hundred of those dollars every summer to make it to CJ. IMO, it's a much better use of money. There will always be something else to buy for the car, but there's only 1 CJ a year.
