So brought the car in for some work at Donway this morning.... and they provided me with a rental (thank you!)..

a Ford Taurus...

and let me tell you. When you drive a car that is THAT s***y, it puts a lot of things into perspective.

Hell, I think my convertible has less cowl shake than the taurus (definitely less wheel hop during acceleration)...

not to mention that you don't know what you have until you miss it.. like a turning radius.. how is it that I'm hitting full lock on the taurus when driving in my underground parking?

I mean, that's never happened before.. hell, the mustang is a full half turn away from full lock... and you'd have to be drifting the focus to need full lock... suddenly, I know why taxi drivers do 3 point turns when they have 4 lanes worth of space to turn. They want to, but they can't!

I could go on about the interior of the car, how uncomfortable it is, how the interior design in general is a greater embarrassment than ford's decision to put cup holders in the way of the gear lever on all new cars...

I honestly cannot fathom just how crappy the new taurus is.. it's the crap you'd scrape off of crap.

I can't wait to get my car back now...
