The car that "replaced" the ranger (joined the navy so needed something reliable...... ) its a 1990 cougar XR-7 supercharged 3.8L 5-speed. killed by a drunk driver new years eve 95-96 :(

The second was autorama 1990
 
Back when you could take a brand new Mustang GT to the drag strip without worrying about showing up on YouTube....;)

I remember this was big when I was in high school. I remember some of my friends buying $30-$50 running driving cars for this purpose! Then when they looked like that duster you'd keep driving them anyway till they died.
 
I too ran a pinto wagon for the same purpose. We ran a points system where at the end of the week, whoever had the most "points, or smashes" bought lunch for the fellow participants! Damn, It seemed like I was at the junk yard constantly getting new grilles, fenders, radiators.... Hahahahaha

I miss that Cutlass...shouldn't have sold it! You are correct, I was 15 at the time, and would work on it every day after school. Fuck, I wish I still had that thing.
