Back in the begining of march i picked up a cougar XR7 3.8 supercharged. having a bunch of friends with MN12's and SC i wasnt a stranger to wokring on one.
i got it cheap, got it running and now driving.
i put about 2000 miles on it in 2 months time.
im now always looking for parts for it. trying differnt colors of plastidip on this and that, and just cleaning it up.
i could list what ive done, but thats not the piont of this post.
To get the cougar i agreed to sell one of my other cars. of course it would be my 87 tc i hardly drove. no problem. that sold quickly. as i put it up cheap and it was a clean decent shape driver. so i sold a car for the first time in my life.. i always scrapped them before.
so one TC gone... now my poor 88 has been sitting in the driveway. i drove it to work maybe 3 times since i got the cougar. i walk by it every day. look at it, put my hand on it and keep on going to where i have either my ranger or cougar parked...
i have a few parts in the trunk that need to go on, i need to find a trans that in better shape. but i dont have a desire to.
am i loosing the Turbo Coupe drive i once had???
is this cougar taking up all my time and im neglecting my one true car-love. should i feel dirty im "cheating" with the other forced fed "large ford coupe"
Carlisle is coming up... a month... things need to get done to the TC to make it road trip worthy... will i fix them or last minute decent to bring the new toy..
im lost, very lost. i went to the dark side.. but but the low end torque is ALWAYS there. this SC (super cougar) is different, a good different. my poor TC, Turbo II, just sits... i think if it could be, it would be depressed and shed a tear...
will you guys still like me even tho i have the evil twin of the TC...
i think the supercharger is making me think strangely...
