Best First Car Ever!!!

It's my first car and it is a blast! I couldn't have asked for anything better. Crazy powerful, fast car. Tons of torque and 0-60 juice. Rides extremely smooth with a transmission that glides into gears... at almost 127,000 miles!!! Bought it last year at 123,000 miles. Absolutely no issues and my friends are flaming jealous of me. It has pearlized white paint with rare blue interior. Rare wheels to go with it. We have a car that has been in the family for 40 years and I'm planning on having the Cougar do the same thing. I'm going to complete the set by buying a '96 T-Bird and '96 Lincoln Mark VIII someday. No rust!!! Does not drive in winter. Spun wheels for 4 blocks straight before tearing up the driveway trying to go up it. This is a must buy!!!
