Highly Customized 1999 Mercury Cougar on 2040-cars

Year:1999 Mileage:92000

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States

The cleanest, most-customized Mercury Cougar I've personally ever seen. It took me over 2 years to fully customize this car. I have friends with super cars (McLaren's, Lamborghini's, etc) who admire this car. This car has been invited to car shows in Pittsburgh (though I chose to never attend). Obviously, there are no mechanical issues with a car like this. I am letting go of it simply because I do not drive it anymore, I don't take it to car shows, I don't do anything with it at all, and I feel a car like this belongs with an owner who will give it at least some kind of attention. For a business, this would also make a great car to be wrapped in graphics/logos for promotional purposes.

A few details about the customization:
- Completely wide, uni-body design. There are no seems in this body at all, it's a single piece.
- Luxury/Legacy chrome rims & performance tires (only 2 years old, tires were barely driven in that time - less than 100 miles)
- Red & black leather interior
- Underbody red NEON lights (looks very cool)
- Red NEON lights also in the interior to glow the floor space
- Touch screen DVD player, CD & MP3 player with bluetooth in dash console (if you pair once with your iPhone, iPad or Android, every time you get in the car you just hit play music from your device & it will work wirelessly without any delay or setup require)
- Lamborghini-style doors (both of them)
- Fiberglass hood
- Various other aesthetic customizations
- Door popper kit comes with car (but not installed) - [For those who may not know]: if installed, a door popper kit will allow you to remove the door handles completely & the car doors will open up automatically with a keychain button

A few details about the car itself:
- V6 2.5L DOHC engine
- 92k miles
- 5-speed, manual transmission
- Power windows
- Power adjusting drive-side seat
- Rear buckets seats, very nice with leather interior & comfortable ride if you have passengers

I did not do much upgrading to the engine, so it's prime for anybody that wants to. It's a pretty fast car as is, but if you install a turbo charger or even a cheaper NOS system, it will be "very" fast, if that's your thing.

Before long, this car will be a classic (I already sort'of consider it one). Cougars were discontinued in 2002, so one in this condition is a really rare find for any car enthusiast.

On a final note: I'm someone who is really into Bitcoin and the crypto world. If anybody wants to pay in Bitcoin or a major crypto currency (NXT, DRK, LTC, etc), I would welcome it and even offer a slight discount on the price. That's completely optional though.

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
