Hello, I haven't posted in a while.   I had some kimchi last week. I can neat it, but it definitely isn't my cup of tea.   I do like Yakimandu though (did I spell that right)?   I will be driving my Cougar for the first time in 7 months around December 16!   Later

On the Internet, nobody knows you've had kimchi.

You've been in Korea for how long, and you're just now getting around to eating the national soul food? Agreed, kimchi is not the greatest stuff around (at least to our western palates) and there is a tendency toward those evil little peppers showing up in the damndest dishes. But, if you can get them to tame some things down, the cusine can be interesting. Not that I'm an expert on Korean cooking, but I have had a little exposure to it. Some of thier pickled dishes are excellent.   Hope you have a good trip home for the Holidays. Is it a P.C.S. or just leave time?   Skip G.

To answer your question, it is just leave time. When I get back I will have 4 months to go .   I haven't eaten much kimchi...but I have had other Korean dishes. I like Yaki-mandu (is that spelled right?   I have also been to the beef and leaf a couple of times and most the food their is top notch!   You know the military lingo...were you ever in the service?   Take care

1. I can't speak Korean at all, so don't ask me how to spell yaki whatever   2. USMCR, 24yr, GySgt(ret). (12/62-2/87)   When your active time is up, you might consider Reserve or Guard duty. Keep your hand in the Military and have a real life too. Plus, you can get retirement benefits if you do a full 20.   I'll start drawing retirement pay next July along with medical and other goodies. I plan to live forever, so it'll have been worth the years invested.   Skip G.   Skip G

Today I went through a lot of the messages here on the Cougar. I personally really like this car and thinking of getting one. It seems that I may get a pretty good deal on a 2002 C2. I am still not convinced that the car is reliable though. I want to keep the car for at least 5 years, so I will not kill it too much and hope that it will not give me much trouble. I got a very mixed idea from the posts. I also read somewhere that Ford might even stop making the Cougar soon. Why are there so few out there? Could someone with relatively high mileage comment on the reliability. It seems that there may be serious quality issues + problems with part supply = lot of time at the dealer. All the input is really appreciated (I would like to decide this week). -thanks

I have had my 1999 Cougar since November of 1998. It currently has 56,000 miles on it and I have had very little trouble with it. There were some fit and finish issues, but most of them were worked out in later models. There have been a few recalls, but nothing major to my knowledge.   The reason why there are so few of these cars is because Ford did not advertise this car. They never had a decent advertisement campaign, therefore the general public never got the word that this car exists. Even though I have had this car for over three years, people still come up to me and ask about it. They usually ask "What kind of car is that?", and when I respond with "Its a Cougar" they usually say something like "WOW! I didn't know they still made the Cougar".   It is rumored that Ford will halt the production of the Cougar in 2003, but no one will confirm this rumor. I spoke to several plant workers and engineers when I was at the plant this past summer for Cougar Fest 2001, but none of them had any information on this subject.   I would recommend the Cougar to anyone looking for a great Sports/Touring Coupe. It has excellent road manors, decent power, and is the best bang for your buck in its class.   -Rob
