Ford is a funny car company. A few years back, they decided to abandon the Taurus in favor of the Five Hundred. So, for a couple of years, they manufactured both the Taurus and the Five Hundred. Then, they discontinued the Taurus. A year later, they decided retiring the Taurus was stupid so brought it back by changing the name of the Five Hundred back to Taurus. So, even though T4 is actually a Five Hundred, deep down underneath it really is a Taurus.

So, I’ve owned a second, third, forth and now the car that eventually became the fifth generation Ford Taurus.

Here are some more pictures.

5/13 @ 11am : Just heard from the claims adjuster from my insurance company. Repairs would cost about 225% of the estimated value of the car.  T3 is offically totalled.
The adjuster did say the car was in excellent shape for the number of miles it had on it. He even rated the seats, carpet and interior as good instead of minor wear which he said was pretty amazing considering the car had over 140,000 miles on it. And, he did take my new tires into consideration as well as the upgraded features of the car such as the Mach audio system, leather seats, CD changer, etc. Damn, I’m going to miss this car!
