Taurus, For Us!

The previous post reminded me of this gem. My first car was a 1993 Mercury Sable Wagon LT that had seen better days by the time 2006 rolled around. Last year the Kidney Foundation came and took him - I was kind of sad to give away Remy. He was awesome and bouncy, but getting pretty unsafe to drive. We never did take that trip to IKEA that I promised him. Mercury Sable was the Canadian version of the Taurus wagon.

We rented a 90s Taurus once, the later generation that looks more like a fish or a deflated football, was quite nice otherwise

The Taurus (sedan anyway) was also so futuristic in the 80s it served as Robocop's car:

Ah!! I never noticed :) That link was great - I totally forgot about the TV series.

I remember watching the TV series when it was on, it was quite good! Never heard of those SyFy TV movies and I am glad I didn't.

Yeah, a Robocop movie made for the small screen is just too horrible to think about! I guess the TV series was filmed in Ontario, so it probably looks a little too Canadian too :-)
