tauruses are pieces of shit. no wonder it let you down lol. i wouldnt buy a ford "family" or "economy" car made before 2008....their trucks are tanks, and the mustangs are too much fun to care if they break down lol my mustang with the original motor in it (before i did the bbf swap) broke down and left me stranded more times than anything else ive owned, and ive owned some pieces of shit.....but it was still my favorite car to drive, so i didnt mind lol...and when i drove it, i drove the shit out of it...so i wasnt surprised when it did break honestly though - i think my old mustang hated my gf....it never let me down until i started dating her, and then the car got jealous....one time the fuel pump went out and i towed it home and once she was gone, the car started right up and i drove it to hilliard and back all day, completely forgetting the fuel pump was bad.....another time she was with me when i was making a pass at national trails, she was sitting in the car with me (first pass of the day, so a passenger was ok - told them it ran 15s)...spider gears snapped and i had to tow it home....there was 3 times total it had to be towed, and she was with me on all 3 occasions (and she only rode in the thing like 15 times)
