[QUOTE="DarrenGMiller, post: 2311335, member: 23174"] My first car back in 1986 was a 1979 Mercury Cougar. It was maroon with a white hardtop. It sat low to the ground and was a LOOOOOOOOONG car. I put gold rims and some mud guards on it, fuzzy dice on the mirror and fuzzy seat covers. It had 1000 watts of stereo coming through 16 speakers. I replaced the rear armrests with speakers. The backseat was referred to as "the pacemaker" since everyone said if I put a dead person back there, the bass would restart their heart. When I came home at night, my parents could hear me coming when I hit the highway behind the neighborhood. It is a miracle I still have my eardrums. I had no dashboard lights and at night, the "shotgun" passenger got the privilege of checking the speedometer with a flashlight. I went through 5 radiators and 2 transmissions on that car. The A/C was 2/60... 2 windows at 60 MPH. A girl I knew my freshman year of college who drove a Chevelle loved that car because she could curl up comfortably on the floor in front of the front passenger seat, while in her car, it was cramped sitting in the seats. I drag raced it a few times behind the high school and when it didn't stall, it did pretty well. I also used to practice my dirt track turns at 60 or 70 on the dirt roads near home. I would get it pretty well sideways coming out of the turns and practiced control coming out of the skid. I LOVED that car! My second car was a 1984 Plymouth Voyager mini-van. DM [/QUOTE]
