wife's car in the shop - Ford BoreUs in the driveway

[Lee Levitt]

It sucked so bad I swapped it for a JapaHondaSubaruToyotanese Solara. Who
knows what brand it is...

Anyway, it's a nicer car, and I haven't driven it yet, but it sure spun it's
wheels on the street just the way the Taurus did. Hope it has ABS...cos it
sure doesn't have winter capable tires either.
