Re: Say goodbye to the Escort.
 

Hmm, well the escort and village and continental wernt good cars...eh so what.

Cougar was aight, not as nice lookin as my prote thou. HEHE


WERD sucks to be them ppl!!!:laugh:

the new mecury cougers got a huge makeover...and they are nice looking, i'm surprized they are letting that one go...they should get rid of the ford focus:bt:

I personally like the design of the new cougars, V6 too!

In regards to the Escort wagon, I HAD ONE! It was the first car I ever drove (family car), was a '94 Sport Edition.

You're right, the thing did suck shit, around 95hp, yeah baby!

But it got me where I had to go, not fast of course. I have my memories of that car tho, I was involved in a total of 3 seperate accidents (2 of them being rear enders, not my fault). And although my back is royally messed after those 2 accidents, I still think it held together pretty well, because it was a heavy car.

I took it camping and shit, which was nice, cuz it had a buncha cargo room. Also known as the green torpedo (cuz it was green), it was also known personally to me, as the shaggin wagon, and you can guess only why. Anyone tried to shag in their back seats of a Protege, damb its tight back there!! (but I guess the women like that)... :bt:

i agree

I had an 86 escort wagon that I came in second at an IASCA sound off with! The only reason why I came in second was I was not an IASCA member and you get an extra 3 points added to your score for that. The guy that beat me only beat me by two points! He had some crazy cutout floor board install in a Mazda pickup. My wagon was super clean like it rolled off the showroom floor (to this day I still can't figure out why I took such good care of it). I got laughed at when I first rolled up there because it looked like this totally stock compact wagon with nothing in it. No tint on the windows, nothing. I had this really killer stealth install in there and that scored some fat points with the judges. The sound quality was killer as well. I had one of the first flip-face Kenwoods in there (actually it was a little door that flipped down in front of the head unit). and two twelve inch Soundstream subs. Infinity rear fill, Kicker mids and tweets and a huge PPI amp. But when you looked in the car it looked like there was just stock. A real sleeper!
