One for the story board....
Total purchase price of Cougar-$450
New tires- $300
3rd set of points in two months- $1.99
Misc. parts- only god with a calculator knows
Beating a honda civic (affectionatly know as Bumble Bee Tuna)-Priceless
It is not to impressive, but it is a kill story none the less.
It was just some friendly stoplight action between friends, but it was great! We only raced to 40mph, but I beat him by half a car length. Not bad for a 289 with less than 2/3rds compression.
The best parts were the excuses when we got back to the apartments. "I let off." then there was "I missed 2nd gear" and when he finally admitted defeat "you didn't beat me by much" followed by the classic line "I'll beat you next time". But hey, a win is a win. What he doesn't know is my Cleveland is just about ready to drop in, and then he won't stand a chance. LOL
