The Dude Abides Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 So finally Guido will get a break from daily life. Free to me 1995 ford taurus, my sisters old car. Needed lots of front end work. We replaced stabalizer bar links, and both struts. Ive never seen a bent or broken spring before but oh well. Really warm and cozy. Power everything im spoiled. The only thing i might do in the future is replace that miscolored bumper with one of the green ones i saw at wrench n go the other day. Only 35bucks for a fully color matching car schaaaa. So now what to do with Guido. Welllllll ill let ya know. This is Luigi (my sister named this one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Abides Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 Thats the idea man. I tell ya honestly as big and comfy this newer car is. And how hot the heat is in this thing. Im really missin my soob. But the poor old guy needed a break. Ive got parts to put into the old boy ive been holding back on doing due to its daily use. Waiting on my 2 inch lift and working out a few other things. Get rid of guido, ill get rid of the newer car before i get rid of guido. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Nothing wrong with a Ford - my family has had a few. That's not a bad car for the price and a bit of maintenance. I don't argue with free running/driving cars. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Abides Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 Poor ford, from what i can tell it could probally use all 4 struts on the corners. Inner and outer tie rod ends and an alignment. The struts alone are 500 bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchsub Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 My experience with the taurus through friends and family is that it could possibly be one of the most boring cars ever made....but they really didnt have too many problems. Ive seen many with high miles still going strong. Good backup car id say. Just watch out for the trans going bad...if the fluid has not been changed recently or ever i would consider that on the list of to-dos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that 1st quote really funny as i was thinking that today. Walking past guido in the parking lot (again i get the wtf look). They are polar oposites of eachother.
