sorry i didn't respond to that, i was away on vacation. Yea i have kept everyone's prying eyes away from my car its home made w/ the help of my local race team and welder professionals. I kinda had a dream for my car so i went ahead and did it. Yea i've even got vct on my engine... all sorts of crazy things, mostly prototype work from my guys who are "testing new methods for power." So i guess one could say i have a hybrid cougar now its a 1999 mtx cougar... sweeeeet car i must say (only downside is not rwd). pm me if you want other info about it

also one more thing.... i got my car back from the dealership AGAIN, after they fixed the key. NEW PROBLEMS. They dented my door and scratched up the handel. and painted it over so i "wouldn't notice" took me about 20 minutes (including the drive home) to be like "WTF!! wait a minute!!" I swear i was thinking blood at this time. then i kinda let it go, cuz i KNOW they will "fix" it. I go to lock my doors...
car: *clack**clack**clack*
me: SON OF A B...
*try again - same thing*
turns out that the locking mechanics are malfunctioning.

i figure i could firebomb their dealership and no one would be sad at this point.

i am gonna do this:
demand every single dent removed (even those i've done )
have them fix everything and sacrifice a goat in my honor while adorning my feet while surrounded by hot ford-girls

or just have them pay for it to be fixed elsewhere ( have a personal friend who runs a body shop...awesome work )

whatchall think?

Friend with body shop + dealership footing the bill for body work + slightly overstated price quote = Shaved door handles.

i dunno about that... how do you open your doors then?

They install a solenoid in the doors and it comes with a key fob. You press the button on the fob and the solenoid kicks the door open just enough for you to open it the rest of the way.
