Ugh. I miss my car! Word is the shop had some stuff come up and they haven’t been able to work on mine. So they plan to get to it on Monday. I’m still stuck with this Taurus. The thing drinks gas! I’m driving it casually and its getting about 19mpg. Probably typical for most automatics, it has a lot of lag from the point in time when your brain says, “time to speed up” and your foot mashes the gas to when the car actually responds with a downshift and moderate acceleration. I do have to admit the ride is very quiet. The seating position is a lot more comfortable than the Focus. I feel I can micro-manage the windshield wipers with all the various variable speeds they have.

I really wished I got stuck with an Acura TSX or even an RSX.
