User Rides / Still just as good as new car.
These cars have a "futuristic" look to them, even after all these years! I love taking my Cougar out because someone usually always wants to ask about the car. There just aren't many left, which makes me sad.

Lounge / Times are changing
I don't know if anyone has brought this topic up before, but has anyone thought about how rare our cars have quickly become these last few years? Between the "cash for clunkers" and people just simply throwing these cars away, you just don't see them on the road as often as you used too. In Owensboro, Kentucky alone, I'm always keeping an eye out for an 83-88 Cougar or Thunderbird. You just DON'T see them anymore.

On a side note, it's increasingly harder to find certain parts for our cars as well. I remember the days of going to junk yards to find seats or emblems, etc., but now I can barely find parts on Ebay! And you can forget about finding reproduction fenders or corner panels! It's easier to purchase and find parts for my parent's '66 Mustang than it is for my '85 Cougar.

This isn't a rant or anything like that. I just find it interesting how rare these cars seem to be getting. I'm curious what will happen to the value of our cars in the next ten years or so.

User Rides / '85 Cougar **updated dash pics**
I like how a friend of mine put it today; the chrome wheels gave it a "muscle car" look while the Cobra R's give it a "sleek look." I know one thing, the wheels certainly changed the look of the car. Oh, I draw the line at lowering the it, lol. I prefer the stock height.
