How to properly bed your Cougar once you get them home.
Source http://www.autoblog.com/2012/02/17/c...your-childood/
We've reported plenty on items we'd like to place in our automotive-themed dream house, from engine-block coffee tables and Pininfarina desks to Aston Martin loveseats and Porsche sofas – but most of them are for the living room. We'd be remised, however, to forget the one part of the house where the fascination all began: our childhood bedroom.
We all had the posters up on the walls, the models on the shelves and maybe the sheets on the bed, but the luckiest kids among us had beds shaped like cars, similar – but probably not as awesome – as this latest release from toy company Step2. Released this week at the New York Toy Fair, it isn't just a bed: it's a whole bedroom set, all modeled on the Chevrolet Corvette Z06.
The set includes a $229 bed capable of holding a toddler's mattress but expandable to accommodate a twin (extending its usability from ages 2 to 10) with optional working headlights, a $110 dresser that looks like dad's tool box, a $65 storage chest and a $40 wheeled storage box to make clean-up time quick. It's all made of molded plastic from one of the biggest in the business, and is sure to make for some very sweet dreams indeed.
If NASCAR is more to your kid's speed, Step2 has got a stock-car bedroom available too, but it's the Vette set that has us (a) wishing we were little again, and (b) second-guessing the grown-up's bed we just ordered for ourselves.

The disappointment is great. Now I need to drown myself in alcohol. I understand the whole vet thing but where's the cougar?

Someday, an RS6 Avant+
But only an MD would understand what it takes, or was it just having a C5 made your schwanz really attractive? Heh.

Whats up with RDX owners?

You got the color right, but it was the ultra rare Z51 package 'vette convertible that gets the cougars wet, not the Z06.

Showed this to my 5-year-old son. He wants one ASAP!
I can't believe people didn't understand the cougar reference. *ahum* of course, my son is too young to understand that, all he knows is the cat kind of cougar.
