Now swap that drivetrain into a 2000-2005 Taurus for a gen 4 Taurus SHO. Same platform, should bolt in.

Unfortunately the week after said incident my dad sold the car to an old man with a pet monkey for $1500

>I instinctively go
>hey it kinda looks like that pickup is coming straight at me
>my dumbass forgot it was a 4 way intersection
>instead of stopping or slowing down I gun it while turning quickly
>now I'm in 1st gear at around 4000rpm with my tail end sliding away from me
>realized what was happening instantly and counter steered out of it.
I felt like the biggest dumbass with all those people watching, but in a way I just successfully drifted for the first time. Felt like takumi

Just how stupid IS your dad?
Well I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree since you had your phone in hand while driving.

You're both retarded

Eh it was 4 years ago. Learned a lot since then.

Well, at least you can admit to stupidity. We're all retarded from time to time.

Stick shift + phone and still haven't wrecked. In fact, of the 2 scrapes I've had, both occurred when I wasn't using my phone.

>Couple of weeks ago
>Driving home after dark
>Have to make turn into intersection for my street that's blocked by traffic waiting for a light
>Cars try to move and give me about five feet of space to squeeze through
>Going to have to turn really sharp
>Turn too much
>Rub my tires on my wheel well
>And still have to back up a couple feet and turn again to squeeze through

>So kind of embarrassing but everything fine right?
>Hear honking when I'm about half a block down the road
>Assume it's because of somebody driving like an idiot. It was Friday night after all.
>Go the last couple blocks home.
>Park in the drive.
>Ten seconds later a BMW pulls up behind me in my drive.
>Tiny asian lady gets out, very angry
>Starts going on about how I hit her and how I didn't stop after an accident
>Had to spend the next few minutes explaining the noise she heard was my tires
>Hard to convince her when she can't see the car very well in the dark
>Eventually just assure her again that nobody hit her and go inside my house
>She obviously doesn't believe me
>Sits outside the house for a few minutes before going home

I kept dreading a call from the police or insurance for like two days after that and having to deal with that over nothing. But I think once she saw her car in the daylight, she realized I was telling the truth.
