I've had the Cougar for over two weeks now, and I love it. She has to visit the dealership again to have the catalyst replaced to pass emissions inspection. It would also be nice if I got some legitimate plates, instead of the expired temp I'm driving around with.

I autocrossed her Friday afternoon. Nothing like a fun day of speed, smoking up tires, and sliding the rear around turns to get you aquainted with the car. My times (car 222) were pretty good for my first bout with a manual, beating a new BMW 235. The rear end kept slipping out like crazy, which I hadn't expected in a FWD car. I stripped a lot of weight out of the rear for more speed, so I guess that's to be expected. I think I need stickier tires, the stock rubber I was running just didn't get the job done. A firm suspension would be nice, but not practical for fscked up NJ roads.

In less-than-recent news (meaning last week), my parents got another sheep, named "Cookie". Cookie is (somehow) bigger than Nicky. I don't have any pictures yet, they'll appear on my webpage at some point in the future I'm sure.

I also finally got a new phone, my first that fully supports text messaging. Yey.
