Red Nightmare Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 My last one had countless problems and about 212,000 miles. Spent more time getting fixed than being driven. Had to part ways. My latest ride is some pitiful 99 mercury cougar. You know, one of those cars that GTP's have for lunch? It has little in the way of problems but gyod, trying to pass someone or get up to highway speeds is embarrassing. GTP it is like - decide on a speed, hold gas a couple seconds and it is there. The 99 is like - decide on a speed, punch gas, hear the car ask "WHAT?", see the dash dim, car shake, and eventually it creeps up to speed. Though I was used to it, I never really took the performance for granted. Kind of starting to wish I had just taken the money I spent buying the cougar and just fixed the GTP best i could. So then folks - if you are thinking of ditching yours, think long and hard about that. While they are not "true" muscle cars, they sure as hell hold their own. Someday, I will be back, oh yes...

GtpKo Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 I wish I would have kept mine and just took whatever time was necessary to fix. I will be back in one soon. 1st or 2nd gen are on the table. Dont know what you got till its gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 I'm fortunate enough to have realized this when I got rid of my vert and TGP. Both were great cars, but both were better off gone from me, which allowed me to pick up my GTP and actually have some money to put into it. I didn't think I'd ever sell my vert, but it was time, and as much as I miss it I'm better without and hopefully someday I can get another. The GTP is by far better nicer and more fun though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outonthetiles Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 It isn't that GTP's are that great of a car or all that fast, it's just that Cougars are just an aweful excuse for a car. ..Just sayin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
