Airbags came with the 1990 Taurus update. That is the correct wheel for the '86-'89 interior.
I got one of these and drove around with it on the car for about 2-3 months until it was just a messy square with bits of tattered paper clinging to it. Came of pretty easily then...
My xb:
-put on the winter tires.
-Put brush & emergency mylar blanket in car.
-fill washer tank with de-icer.
-put winter blades on.

Nic: Told you. :)
Passionate love for a car regardless of whether anyone else would think it was "cool" or not?
Sounds Jalopnik(and awesome) to me.
Just bought this '64 Falcon Wagon. Engine has a bad valve, roof has rust, car's been sitting for 8 months, needs the exterior cleaned & mold scrubbed off the interior. But for $1000 it should be an interesting project. #oppositelock
Unless the prior owner of your car had drugs in there, or something you bought used was once in contact with drugs, or if a bag a friend put in your trunk had once had drugs in/on/near it. Or if the dog gives a false positive lead. Or if a cop swears they smelled drugs, or...
Innocence is not safety when it comes to this stuff. I have *never* done drugs and the last drink I had was a quarter-glass of champagne at a wedding when I was 14. However I've been *accused* of being drunk, or drunk driving, or being a druggie, etc. by cops multiple times. I've been given breathalzyer tests, and had my car searched. I was detained for 30 minutes and had my car searched for the crime of being out at 4am dressed like a goth.
So yeah, it could never happen to you, until the day it does.

Coherency, this article doesn't have it.
Why PRNDL? because do you really want to try and figure this shift pattern from a '58 Mercury out?
For those who can't read it:

"Brake release" "Neutral start" "Hill control" "Reverse"

Sweet! I actually saw this car mid-transformation. I was taking a class at the Steelyard about a year and a half ago and this guy was using another part of the main yard as his workshop to build it. You can actually she the garage he was working out of in some of the shots.
We talked for a while about parts of the design and plans for it. I was thinking about it a few weeks ago and am thrilled to for it to show up here and see what became of it. I almost wish I'd known about him trying to get rid of it as I'd have probably been insane enough to pick it up.

Back when I delivered parts for NAPA this was par for the course in snow. We had a fleet of clapped-out S-10s and Hartford CT is notorious fro crappy plowing. So when trying to make forward progress the rear end would slide out and at about 15-30 degrees you could hold the slide and actually make forward progress. It was an entertaining way to drive, and pretty effective. Got lots of stares but I never once got a truck stuck despite no weight in the bed and 2wd.
Considering Mother Teresa set up her "Homes for the Dying" as literally that, Places for people to die. And that the peopel there recieved haphazard medical care at best, minimal or no painkillers, no effort was made to differenciate between curable & incurable cases so people who could have been saved instead died, and that family members where often prevented for seeing their sick relative.
Also she used money donated to help the poor & sick to open 5 new convents(for nuns, not to help the sick) and for missonary work. Also she took money from really nasty people (dictators, fraudsters, etc.)
So she took money from bad people, spent most of it on her nuns & missionary work instead of the sick & dying it was intended for. And for the sick & dying she "cared" for she intentionally put them in unsanitary conditions, treated by nuns who were prevented from learning medical techniques, kept painkillers from them and isolated them from their families so that Mother Teresa could revel in their suffering as a way to be "closer to god". And she is going to lecture on what is morally right?

I'm at work and youtube is blocked, but I know there is a video out there of an attempted truck thief who couldn't drive stick and only managed to stall it a few times without getting anywhere before the owner chased him off.
I had a taurus with a digital dash. when set to MPH it would only count up to 85mph. If you switched it to KPH it would keep counting well over 160kph(100mph). I ran out of highway and nerve before it stopped counting.

Oh yes. Even if it was jsut a cranky old inline Ford. The spring day when the weather finally warmed enough to throw open the garage door and climb in the driver's seat again was always a great day. A convoluted series of cranking & pumping the gas to get the engine to finally grumble to life. A bit of idling, then backing her out into the drive to sit burbling away while I checked her over. That was always the best day of my spring.
Sold my classic last month. Currently in the market for another.

Don't use spray paint. Go to an auto parts store and buy a can of spray vinyl dye for seats. Scrub your gun with soap & water and let dye then spray it with the vinyl dye. It actually soaks into the plastic so even if it get scratched the dye doesn't chip like paint.
So you are better than honda fanboys because you nearly punched someone for dissing your car? Really?...
Yep, I try reading it from tiem to time. But After a month or so *tops* I start wondering once again why I'm bothering and drop it from my blog trawl. I can't manage to give a damn amount regugitated press releases and the other utterly bland content. And the comments make me wish there was a "face smack over IP" function, because 99% of them desperately need a good slap.
The Truth About Cars is a good all around site when Jack Baruth isn't going out of his way to try and prove what a badass he is. Murile Martin moved here and is still posting cool stuff. [www.thetruthaboutcars.com]
Curbside Classics has nothing to do with current automotive stuff, but is an awesome source for lots of automotive history & neat pics of old cars in their natural habitat. [www.curbsideclassic.com]
Ate Up with Motor does insanely detailed stories & histories for various classic cars and shows all the *real* reasons why they succeeded or failed. [ateupwithmotor.com]
Speedhunters is done by a bunch of guys who are car-fanatic photographers and has lots of great car-show galleries. It is heavily into the drifter/tuner community. I'm not into those at all but this site has made me at least appreciate them as their passion for cars & the community comes through so clearly. [speedhunters.com]
