It has been an exciting week for the Brown family vehicular fleet!
The Taurus got to ride on a tow truck Tuesday. According to Roger, the world's most honest mechanic, (Motormania on 620 for anyone in Austin) it qualifies as totaled. The rear subframe mounts (??) quit without two weeks notice. What does this mean, you ask? The engine and transmission are dangling like Christmas tree ornaments from the frame of the car, and steering is no longer an option.
Fortunately, the car fell apart at the best possible location. Jeremy was at a calm four way stop next to a bar near campus when the bottom dropped out. He had just left the interstate where such an occurrence would have been much, much, much more dangerous.
Much to our relief, Ford issued a recall for the parts in question!
We are looking forward to a happy reunion with Taurus in the coming week. Until then, it's only a 6 mile run to campus.
