I bought my first Cougar in June of 1982. On September 11, 1982 a car ran a stop sign, and I hit it at 50+ MPH. My friend Jamie and I escaped with relatively minor injuries. In the crash picture, notice the cracked windshield from my friend Jamie's head on the passenger side. I got to have stitches on the inside of my mouth from my face hitting the steering wheel. That was the end of my first Cougar.
