My car has been dying since April. On its last legs this month. A friend at work is going thru a divorce and wanted to get rid of the extra car he had. So he gave it to me. For free.
Sunday I went and replaced fluids, battery and a new starter (it had been sitting for a year and a half). Started right up and purrs like a freshly milked kitten! Can't believe it!! Its a '90 Cougar SE and looks great, runs great and smells kinda old but , what the 'ell, so do I.
For months I couldn't go further than a mile without the old car burning up or conking out - now I'm back. Wish it was a Jeep or a truck but beggars can't be choosey!!
This is what it looks like. Clean.
