Smoked the shit out of a Taurus SE.

The loaner cars at the Jaguar dealership are Forad Tauras SE's. Well we had to re fuel like 15 of them and the gas station is about .75 miles away. Oh man we were racing them all over. On one street I nailed it to 70 MPH and stood on the brakes. Throw up so much smoke it was insane, I can't describe how cool it looked. The other kid who works with me was behind me about 500 ft back and said it was insane. After filling up I checked the skid marks, they were about 250 Ft long and deep. Hahah that was so much fun. We kept doing it with all the loaner cars so if you go down Mckelipps between Scottsdale and 68th and also the block one over. THere are tire marks up and down the street. HAHAHh man that was a ton of fun.

Of course I'm sure I work there, well not anymore I'm going to work with a guy at the Cadillac dealership who does Superchargers and TV's. Anyhow yeah I was like WTF if I brought my Jag in I wouldn't want a fucking SE Taurus. At Acura when you bring in your car you get a Integra as a loaner. But shit Jag to Ford that's like dropping five classes. hahah yeah it was fun now I get to fuck around with the Escalades and Sevilles.

But we dont have Accords or Civics as loaners. It's not fair for Jag owners.

Don't those Taurus's have ABS? If you left skid marks that long, you probably ruined the tires.

New tauruss do NOT have ABS any longer, as a matter of fact, they even dropped 4 wheels disc on ALL new Tauruses.
Just goes to show our backward 'UAW trash' designed and built vehicles are regressing...

UAW = You Aint Wookin'

The Taurus they give out don't have ABS, the ride is smooth but there is no response on turns and I don't know it just isn't something I would want if I were to turn in my jag. Maybe as the X-types go on sale more and get popular they will start using those as loaners.

Jaguar owners probably won't miss driving a Jag. They spend more time in the loaner cars than in anything else!

They could at least give out Mercury Sables ... at least those have nicer interiors.
