By use of manual steering and braking i manage to take the next off ramp and crawl into a kfc parking lot.
Problem: unknown
Days in the shop: 2

I would have come unglued! It would have taken everyone in that place to calm me down....you just don't do stoopid stuff like that......man that makes me ILL
Sorry to hear about that...make sure you tell a few friends about the work they did, like people you don't even know....the question bears asking to them "What, did you think they were being serious when they said 'put the key in and turn the car over'?" C'mon how hard is it???
Sheesh....sore subject for me...gotta walk away...resist temptation of blowing up shop..........

DAmn that sucks, I hate other people working on my car. It seems like everytime I take my car to someone they screw something up. Heck, when I was on vacation in TN. I took my car to Walmart for an oil change and they broke my dipstick.
I wouldnt even let them fix it, I called Ford and ordered one myself, and threw it in before I headed home to Chicago.

You have a 2.0L cougar with a turbo??? What year is it? Is there something you're not telling us? I know that there are some cougars out there with zetec's in them, but I've not heard of anyone bolting on a turbo kit.
Please clarify...
Turbocharged trolling around here somewhere.

Dude you should have said something to me about needing an oil change, I would have done that or given you the tools so you could've while you were here.
Dude we could have gone to SECO here and thrown some royal purple in.
