  My Ford Story:
  
  I bought this from CarMax in Glencoe, IL on 7/28/08 with 42,244 miles on it- trading in a Pacific Green over Saddle '96 Taurus GL sedan with 89,875 miles. I own it, free and clear, as of 9/2/09. I found out (by obtaining the build sheet and window sticker from Ford) that it was originally sold to Avis Rent-A-Car through a Ford/Lincoln/Mercury dealership in Parsippany, NJ and put into service as a rental car out of Detroit/Wayne County Metropolitan Airport in Romulus, MI. After all this time, I've found that there's always another new modification that I want to try out.
