Default My First Car

So, i knew this day was coming soon. I just bought a 1994 Mercury Cougar XR7, and i must say, for a first car, it kicks some serious ass. Not to many teens can say that they own a 2 door V8 car and can afford it, but I can get away with it some how. So feel free to gimme some feedback on how you think this car is. I bought it for 900 bucks so keep that in mind, and the only things that are wrong with it are the oil pan, a rusted spot on the rear passenger rocker panel, and there's a rip in the leather seating, but i don't mind about that to much.







I'll get some shots of the inside if everybody wants to see it too.
I work for a Ford Dealership in town so i managed to buy this car off of them for a really cheap amount and they didn't screw me over either, cause that would make for a couple of really rough days at work haha, but there going to look into fixing the problems and adding a couple of performance parts I have my heart set on and those changes will take place after the winter....if I can wait that long

I still have my first car but I am spolied...my parents bought it for me but before you jump on me about it...it was/is a 1991 Mercedez 420 SEL. Over a decade old when I got it but it is still a great car.

Can I ask you a question? (Anyone is fine) What is with you crazy kids and your 2 doors? Both my friends have 2 doors and it is a ***** for moderately sized people such as myself to get into the back seat.

yeah, she's a beaut, if i could afford a higher class Mercedes for a first car, then well yeah, you would see me in a Benz, but this thing has more then enough toys for what i need...and well kicks the ass out of everything thats tried to race it so far..and in teems of two doors....if my friends don't like it, they can walk haha, i bought it for me, nobody else. The back seat is very roomy and nice though, just i suppose if you have a hangover you smack your head off the car when you try to get out, according to my friends haha

Gotta like that, man.

My 'first car' is my mothers. She kind of gave it to me for college and right now I'm really the only one that drives it. It's a 97' Honda Accord 5 speed.

I was looking at the new Mustangs he other day. I mean they look sharp on the outside, but man, what's the point owning a Mustang if it ain't an 8-cylinder. If I am gonna buy a sports car I want it sound like the f-cking apocolypse.
