» photo album 2008/0301 ~ Ford Taurus

Here it is… our ‘new’ (used) car… the biggest, baddest and prettiest car we’ve ever owned: a 2003 Ford Taurus SE! Check out the photo album for more pics! They call this a mid-sized car, but for us it’s a huge boat!! 😉 These specs I just copied that from some website, so I’m not sure if it’s all exactly the same as with our car, I have to add that we do have a CD player in ours.
