It hasn't turned up in my writings yet, but one of the defining aspects of who I am is my lifelong love of cars. I especially love classic American cars, and the car pictured here is my own 1974 Mercury Cougar XR7. I first fell in love with this model when I was 14, and became the owner of this beauty when I was 20. This particular car is in spectacular all-original condition, with a 400 cubic inch V-8, leather interior, and 8-track player.

Despite the fact that she is a Cougar, these pictures aren't exactly furry and I intend to move them to scraps at some point.
