I feel like an old person

But I really like cars that most people consider kind of. . . stodgy?

Particularly this, the Mercury Sable. My dad has one. I hated it for the longest time, because it was so average looking. It turns like crap. It pretends to be luxury when really it's just an old Taurus. But for some reason it's growing on me. It's reliable, has enough power to get out of its own way, and I think looks quite good from a number of angles. Am I becoming an old man? This worries me, as I'm only 18 currently.

Have an Saab that will eat you alive.

I had a 94 Taurus and after that bought a 93 crown Victoria...

The same will happen to you, the last gen marquii are beautiful in that metallic sky blue

This might be the lamest generation Sable/Taurus of them all. The 1st and 3rd gen cars are the ones I'd call rather good looking and distinctive. This 4th gen is just a quick redesign to make it look more ordinary since people thought the 3rd gens were to "radical".

I like "old man" cars as well, but I think they're a slightly different type of old man car.

At least pick one that was a good car?? At least an old Taurus SHO or an SVT Contour...

My wife has daily'd an '01 Taurus for the last 7 years. Interior pieces have fallen apart, regulators and locks have stopped working, cat completely imploded, radiator hoses degraded to dust... Everything outside of the engine itself is just junk.

But the engine seems dead reliable. . .

The DOHC 24V is indeed reliable. We have never had one problem with it. My wife is not a gentle driver.

I do like both of those a lot actually, I've just never gotten the chance to drive one.

The videos of it are all highway racing, something I'm sure this car would demolish the competition at.

Exactly. Which makes me question why I like them.

I love that style of wheels. If I din't have my car, my second choice would be a black V8 W126.
