cruising for chicks in a rented Taurus Wagon (no luck) and I spot a white '93 SC a few cars ahead. It turns into the mall. I follow. Now all the cars here are pretty clean and this SC was no exception. It parks in front of the Rexall and (no bull crap) a little old lady emerges. I pull up beside, get out and engage her in conversation about her car. She tells me it's the Supercharged model and the "buggers" don't make them anymore. It has 24,000 original kilometers on the clock. Maroon leather, automatic, roof, keyless, factory GoodYears. No marks, I mean NO MARKS. You could eat off this car. She and her husband bought it brand new and he's since passed and she'll keep the car until she joins him. Always in the garage and she doesn't like to drive in the rain. Her son in law was to get it in the will, but he's an a$$ and won't ever get the keys. I gave her my card and pleaded to contact me should she ever decide to unload it. She is 68 and as sharp as a tack. She likes to listen to the Beatles on the "CD radio" with the bass turned up. I figure she was a "chick" in her day. The things you can catch in a Taurus.....

I bet she was a "chick" in her day. LOL. Would be cool if she did decide to unload it to you, I hope you got her number for follow up. Did you ask her if she ever beat on it at the track? :D

Very cool story. Someone's going to get a nice SC when she passes, it might have 30k on it by then.

My grandmother who's 81, has a 89 Taurus with 59,000km. She bought it new. :eek:

Oh crap. I started a Taurus thread. Do you know where she cruises? :o)

It was beyond cool to meet someone at her age who has such a passion for her car. Those "buggers" she said. Kills me. I'm still smiling.
