That right there is what's called Automotive Design Karma. The wrecking ball barely grazed all of those other cars and then homed in on one of the ugliest cars to ever roll off the assembly line. It made quite an improvement on the basic Taurus design in my opinion.

Well that design was during Ford's "oval" experimentation days so I find it fitting that round ball found it's way into the trunk...maybe it just thought that was mommy...?

I liked the 'leaning construction guys' as they watched the wrecking ball getting loaded into the bucket

Like "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" or was it "Raiders of the Lost Ark" where they are running from that big boulder. The old Taurus couldn't run fast enough!

I hope the Taurus had stain guard on the seats. Someone soiled themselves.
