Or is it Taurses?
Anyways, at one point in time my family owned 5 Ford Taurus's. Everything from a 99 to a 2004.
This past weekend my sister drove around 100 miles before telling anyone her engine was giving her trouble. We all met at the restaruant and I drove the car back to my parents home. I was [censored] that anyone would drive a car in such bad condition in the first place, but my folks told me to drive it home, another 5 miles wouldn't hurt it.
So my father had it towed into the shop. We just aren't set up to pull an engine.
The shop called yesterday that all 6 cylinders had low compression and that they were pulling the valve covers to see if it was some burned valves.
They pulled the valve covers and couldn't find anything.
So it was in the lower end of the engine.
This is the car that has been on several 10,000 and 12,000 mile Oil Change Intervals with Bulk dino oil. This is the car that my sister puts gas in and expects to get her anywhere even though the engine light has been on for 2 weeks. Used and abused. The Vulcan engine only had 120,000 miles on it. Practically new in my book. Yet she managed to destroy it.
She was warned, and now...
My parents give her the 2011 Chevy Trailblazer they bought and just paid off. My Father bought it new soon after they announced that they were discontinuing the model. He has babied it ever since.
On-Star sends my father e-mails about oil changes and tire pressure, so hopefully He can twist her arm into listening.
Of all the Taurus's My Family has owned I have the last one. It was the first car (and only car) Ive purchased, after my 1983 Ford LTD died in 2003. The little red Taurus has almost 190,000 miles on it.
She has 2 degrees from a freaking IVY LEAGUE school and she cannot be bothered to read an oil change sticker.
Then she gets rewarded for her idiocy.
I bought and paid off my first car before I was her age.
