In between updates, I thought I’d give us a little casual update instead! For those of you who are yet unaware, my old vehicle, nicknamed “The Behemoth”, and for good reason mind you, was totaled in a vicious crash a few weeks ago. I know a lot of you have been asking how this happened, and for some of you, I’ve replied, but, the story is quite simple: Ice. Yes, even my truck, the seemingly invincible being that it was, and amazing four-wheel drive vehicle, fell victim to a random patch of ice. In lieu of that, I’ve been forced to purchase a new vehicle. Luckily, one week later, I was able to pick up a vehicle that does the job, and pretty dang good if I do say so myself.
This is my 1999 Ford Taurus! With a V-6 engine, automatic transmission, 125,000 miles, and a government-issue black paint scheme, this has become my new ride. She runs like a beauty so far, and was only owned by one previous owner. I must say, I got lucky to find this vehicle. Also, here’s a short review of my vehicle from one of my friends, Hamstar.
Now for those of you who know me, you’ll know I am NOT by any means a “Ford man”. Not even close… not even in the same town.
So when I say that I really like [Weasel's] 99 Ford Taurus, it’s saying a lot!
The inside of the car was ovals… rounded. It’s the most unique interior. It flowed nicely. The ride was nice, and the car had decent acceleration.
The only thing I could really fault it for was being an automatic.
This was posted just yesterday, as I had hung out with a group of my friends that day and the day before. This was my first real long distance drive in her, and, I’ll say that she has a bit of squeaky brakes, but, hey, it’s got 125K miles on it, there’s gonna have to be something wrong with it somewhere. I also had my first dead body* in my trunk. Mind you, this is the first time I’ve ever had a “trunk”, before, it was just the massive back of my truck. But the trunk of my vehicle is big, big enough to fit this person inside of it!
All of this aside though, it leads to the main point of this entry. Remembering back, the name of my ’95 Chevy Tahoe was “Behemoth”, due to it’s size. Unfortunately, I’m stumped on what I want to name my new car. Does anyone have any ideas on what to name it? I always keep talking about it’s government-issue black paint job, maybe there’s something that can use that… I don’t know, but I need help!
Also, I’ll be adding links in one of my sidebars on the website here of my friends’ websites, so if you have a website you’d like to see here, please send me an e-mail or leave a comment in this entry, and I’ll be sure to get it up here! I want to give my friends credit where credit is due, and in saying that, I want to help “pimp yer website”. It’s what friends do! So, without further adieu, thank you for reading, and I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.
* Person in the following picture, turns out, wasn’t dead, as you can plain well see. Maybe I should have hit him with that shovel harder…
