One thing me an Marc have in common, besides our love of DeLoreans and
driving other people
crazy wth our opinions....is the Ford Taurus.
I have owed 3 Taurus wagons so far and my wife has the Sable sedan.
I have always dreamed that they made a SHO wagon and I have often fantasized
of doing the conversion....
Now that Dodge has introduced the Magnum wagon with a V8 Hemi
I have found a new love.... but I feel that the SHO and Taurus in general is
a
very under rated car..... it is a nice size, great milage, very safe, and a
lot quicker than
you would think.
