My first CAT DRIVE!!! July 29, 2006, 01:38:46 PM [FONT="Tahoma"]So today I finally got to pull the[my dad's white 85 cougar XR7. Which was at cj 05 not this year.] car to be up the drive way. I know it's not much, but hey i've never driven before and this might be my car in the near future. Then I gave it a nice wash so it's not dirty anymore, it is white after all.[My dad's been saying that I should wash the car for a while and it's finally a nice day outside.]I'm hopefully going to be getting a job at target down the street so I can get my permit [temps.] so I can start driving.And that would be the car I'd be driving in. And maybe if my dad is nice I will be driving it to cj 07 and he will be driving the 85 cougar gs [the black one.][SIZE="3"][COLOR="Magenta"]I'TS SO EXCITING![/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]:D :D :D :D !!!

My first CAT DRIVE!!! Reply #1 – July 29, 2006, 02:19:53 PM Yeah, I remember when I got my cougar 4 years ago. I had mine just a few months before I got my license though so I started driving it soon thereafter. I had never driven in a car that went 30 MPH by itself before. Yep, gotta love throttle body injection.... Quote Selected
My first CAT DRIVE!!! Reply #2 – July 29, 2006, 02:45:59 PM Good for you. I have been driving since I was three (64' biscane into 70' nova, totaled nova). Have had my license for six years, my cat for about six month and still haven't really driven it. So kudos to you. Daniel Quote Selected
My first CAT DRIVE!!! Reply #3 – July 29, 2006, 03:06:22 PM You lucky bum getting to start out in a Cougar. Well my first car was my Cougar but it was delayed.I started by borrowing my mom's '99 Malibu. I didn't find my Cougar until 4 months after I got my license. Wow, I've almost had it for 5 years now.I'm sure your dad is going to tell you this so much you'll be sick of it but be careful.Remember it won't be so much you as it will the other drivers on the road.Oh, and good luck on getting the job. Just be sure to park on an end spot or park in the middle of nowhere. Have to protect from dings you know Quote Selected
My first CAT DRIVE!!! Reply #4 – July 29, 2006, 03:48:12 PM my cat is my first car and i hated it for the first year but they grow on you fast, since your dad had them im sure you love them by now. First car means accidents. so be careful for sure. i thought it would never happen to me but look what i did wreck a friends car then hit a fire truck not a month later. Sh*t happens so what what the people around you are doing and make sure that you are watching what the people around you are doing even the least expected vehicle to do something stupid (uhm... firetruck..cough cough.) everyone will tell you this but it wont sink in till it happens.

My first CAT DRIVE!!! Reply #5 – July 29, 2006, 05:01:57 PM QuoteGood for you. I have been driving since I was three (64' biscane into 70' nova, totaled nova). I think I was about that age when I got in my dad's 50' something car too. I didn't wreck, but I sure scared them pretty good.Yes, be careful, but don't be scared. It's the scared to be behind the wheel drivers that scare me worse than a drunk. At least the drunk is a bit more predictable. Quote Selected
My first CAT DRIVE!!! Reply #6 – July 29, 2006, 06:01:30 PM I bought my first cougar when I was 15 years old. I sold my gokart and mowed grass all summer. It was a 88 LS 3.8 I brought it to CJ 02 I believe. I purchased it at 15 so I had a year to make it nice. Sam I'm glad your interested in cougars.. (old grandparents cars). As Eric said this week when we met up. "It's glad to see our generation taking interested in these cars" I think that's what he said. But that's cool Sam. Pictures of the clean car would be nice :) Quote Selected

My first CAT DRIVE!!! Reply #9 – July 29, 2006, 09:37:11 PM Yeah that's the car. I'm going to start taking care of that car. Make it look like my dad's other 85 cougar. Hah yeah right like that will happen. But I want to wax that car so bad. But I have to rub it out first. It's some work but I have nothing better to do really. A newer hobby. But it's looking good for the job i'm gunna go fill out my application tomorrow. And if I get the job I will deff. be getting my permit to drive. Which means cj 07 watch out i'm driving!!!

My first CAT DRIVE!!! Reply #14 – July 29, 2006, 11:21:36 PM Maybe I can make it to my first cat jam at the age of 18 with my second cougar. I got my first cat last year (age 16), but as I said I decided it is in too bad of shape and I posted the 84 Im looking at now.Just drive like me, no accidents yet far (knocks on wood), and I will be carefull with the 84 (I would have to shoot myself if I wrecked that).Good Luck with your permits, and maybe I'll see you at CJ 07, we can start a Juniors Club. (I just realized I'll be 18 tho :( ) Quote Selected
