An old friend of mine was into Cougars

LOL No, not those kind. The Mercs ...ironically (I'm not kidding) he's on something like his 6th Philippine much younger wife (they've all been way younger than him). He's in the Philippines now, and if I'm not mistaken it is because he ran into "trouble" here in the states. He doesn't talk about it. Held hostage for over a month or two by philippine muslims. Only hostage I've ever known. He fooled around with someone's daughter, laughed at the idea of marriage, so the dad & brothers locked him in a hot SE Asia metal tool shed with a 5 gallon bucket and slid food to him under the door. I saw him for the first time in years about 6 months after they released him and he looked like hell. His wasn't a convertible, but he had tuned it up to go quick. He always had access to parts b/c his dad owned a junkyard. Why can't I remember the color for sure? (getting old is like that). I want to think it was dark green, but dunno. Dark blue? But I do remember the sound that thing made. Sweet car.
