For the next 2 days I'm working a car show so I got to go onto the show floor and set up. The wagon was loaded up with all the show stuff I needed so I got to park inside to unload. I unloaded in a few minutes but kept the car inside for 3 hours. It inspired me a little to see fairly common cars there. But no other Tauruses.

I got to finish the paint on the rear this spring. She could have been among the show queens fighting for a crown, some of the show cars looked horrible in the sunlight- good paint, bad body work.

*** The show queens didn't want to play. Thats ok, the wagon hit the limiter on the way out. So what if it was in neutral and only tached 3,000 RPMs when the fuel was nipped. :rolleyes:

All in all a good day. Tomorrow and Sunday will be 15 hours per day of non-stop coversation when the show starts. Then Sunday night we head off to Atlanta for a few days of company meetings. :wacko:

I envy your job man. Good to see you are taking the wagon as your "company car".

So I see you weren't content with letting Dennis remain the only Taurus wagon owner with a shelf full of trophies? :unsure:

It's on now. :lol:

Oh, and what's up with the body-colored cover on your rear lightbar? I like the effect, I just haven't seen that mod done before... :huh:

OHHHHHHHHHH it is ON NOW... :angry:

I had the monopoly here on wagons in the shows. :angry:

LMFAO... you should have left that beauty on the show floor, let those spoiled garage queens worry. I love that feeling when I roll onto the field and park next to an antique. The owners snicker and talk all day long, but in the end when I take home a trophy and they dont, that does all my talking for me. :lol:

Rusty - Thanks. I couldn't pass it up. Plea insanity.

Bull Geek - Represent!

Brian_05_SEL - The painted light, plea insanity. It's a idea started and yet to be finished.

2005silverse - Thems the Caddie wheels. They zig.

DLC360 - I couldn't even win ugliest car, somebody brought a Pacer.

Shady_J - Thanks for the offer. It's crossed my mind to get a 'Man of Taurus' owner to do the work.
