Title: Back in a V8 RWD daily
Post by: Billyf17 on June 26, 2016, 09:27:07 PM
After going to Carlisle, I had the itch to get back into a more appropriate for me daily driver.  I was driving an 02 Subaru Legacy.  That car served its purpose as a reliable all weather vehicle to get me to work no matter what.  But the car was as boring as could be, except for like 2 days a year.  The plan was to find someone to trade my car for a Crown Vic.  Then I started looking for Mark VIII engines for my Cougar, as I'm running out of time to get that project done.  Came across a few Marks on really nice shape and decided to skip the Vic.  The stars aligned for me and I had the Subaru sold in 2 days of deciding to pull the trigger.  Delivery day took a week longer (sold it to an 18 yr old as her first car with the blessing of her step-father), and my wife and I spent about 10 hours driving to drop the Subaru off and pick the Mark up.

Looks pretty clean. Should be a bit more fun than the Subaru.
