Driver's Test

Right now we are looking at a 1994 Ford Taurus for $2100 o.b.o. and it has 144k miles, alarm, ABS, Power Windows and Locks. Runs great..or so they say. Seems like a good deal...we are going to look at the Wheels and Deals...and then decide. I will probably have a car by summer. I sure hope so, because getting to work is a big pain in the butt. I want a Taurus because the one we had before was really nice...the only problem was the previous owner didn't let us know one of the teeth was missing out of the flywheel....so it went through starters like crazy. Finally we figured out what it was. Mom just got a new car...and gave the Taurus to Jayson (brother). My brother had a flywheel and all he had to do was get my uncle's help and he had a car...but he let it sit on it's engine...literally. I was so angry...that was a nice little car.

Watch Ford cars for transmission problems. Other than that thier pretty good.

Yeah I have heard that...but it is a good thing that our family has really good luck with fords and know a lot of friends who own Mechanic shops.

I've owned more ford's than any other vehicles. I have had the best luck with them, but all my ford's have been full-sized trucks and vans.

The best car I ever owned was a 1986 VW Jetta with the diesel engine. It was the only car I ever owned that was in an accident. Totaled out by a girl who ran a red light.

The Taurus my mom had was big. And I need a car with a big back seat to pile all my friends into when I can legally drive them...also to drive my cousins around this summer. I might go over to Montana this summer...with work...IDK. I am definately going to BlueSlide!
