No more Ford Taurus!
So there I was, idling around the Ford showroom while the car
was getting serviced, flipping through the glossies, and fending off the sales staff. I saw one glossy for a new vehicle, the Five Hundred. Is this a replacement for the Taurus? I asked. Yes! they enthused, and pressed their business cards on me anew. Well, I'm going to miss the Taurus, especially the late-90s models. It's the most distinctive-looking contemporary domestic sedan on the road. I mean, look at this head-on view of a 1998 white Taurus wagon: http://www.ecogent.ca/beluga/bel_benny.gif Whoops! That's a beluga whale. So easy to get 'em mixed up! And the vehicles of other hues look like Teletubbies. I'm sure the Five Hundred is a fine car, even though its chief selling point seems to be a high seat and a Lexus grill. But I'll bet that there will be a cult collector community springing up for the Taurus in the next decade or two. Kind of like some auto buffs collect Chevettes, Novas, and Pacers nowadays. -- bruce The dignified don't even enter in the game. -- The Jam |

Gotta say, I like the sell, sanity. :-)
Lousy AirConditioning system. Replace transmission monthly. Maybe it's only the people I've met... Entirely possible. TheNIGHTCRAWLER (Had a GF once who never knew when I was smiling...
