    I bought my twin daughters a car for there 16th birthday :slap::character0182:


    I went to an auction to buy some tools and maybe an inflatable ice burg,



    I came home with a toolbox and a 2005 Taurus.

    I hope it has the little V-6! Those Models with the 3.8 are such a PITA to work on!

    It's a 3.0, power leather seats, power sunroof, and best of all, with auction fees I paid $550.00 for it.

    Oh, I see. Well, if you wound up getting the Taurus in lieu of the iceberg, perhaps the car can pull double duty. :rofl2:

    You better buy another one. There is no way teenagers will be able to share a car without fighting.

    Heck of a good buy on the car. But I'd rather have the iceburg in my front yard.

    Since when? I owned one of those and a '95 Windbag, and both had the 3.8L. I had very little trouble from either.:dancing::2_thumbs_up_-_anima
