Pulled the Cougar out of storage the other day for winter duty. My spare garage did a number on it. The garage must not be venting well because it seemed to pressure cook the car. All the bare metal engine parts have corrosion on them (exterior body is fine, thank god). I almost want to rip the motor out to clean everything up. Maybe if I get a free weekend I'll do it.

Dooood, that sucks! Could it have been like a condensation issue in there?

yup! Time has come to put an end to my Contour, but she will go down with a fight I am sure.

I will be spending the next few weekends preparing for the winter ahead. Stock wheels and springs going back in on new struts/mounts and my brand new Bridgestone Blizzaks arrived at my door today.

Plans are to beat the living hell out of it for 4-5 months. Wish me luck!

I loved ripping around in the winter in my car, had some of my most fun moments in it too!
 
So have you ever been stranded somewhere because your car was too low??

I parked at the clinic and when I came out they had torn up the entrance/exit, fortunately I had a ride but my car is still sitting there. I thought all we had to worry about was potholes! :crazy:

Nope! Even with how low the pudmobile was, there was only a couple entrances I couldn't make with it.
 
Yeah I was a little surprised, my car isn't totally slammed. I don't have to worry about speed bumps and most entrances. I saw a stock G35 sedan almost dig the front bumper into the dirt and then spin it's wheels trying to get up the other side of what they carved out of the pavement.

This morning I picked up my car and it was like nothing had happened, brand new pavement was already down.
 
Mother of pearl! I just realized I've been on here for almost seven years! My how time flies. I've been away from the site a good chunk of time this year so I've missed out on all the fun. How are all you local peeps? :D

Also, as a side note, the Red Lady is gone. Had to get rid of her in a haste earlier this year. :(

Yeah I saw it's been a couple months..

I used to have his contact info but I seem to have misplaced it. So if anyone sees this and has his info I would greatly appreciate a sharing. :D

Ehrmergerd! I actually tracked down his phone number. Hope he hasn't changed it in the last 4 years. :laugh:
 
On a lighter note.. I've been seeing more SVTs around here the last few weeks. I wonder if they all belong to the guy I talked to on here before. Saw a nice Silfro at LSC today. I'd really like to get an SVT but no one will sell any that are in decent shape. :(
