My Army Taurus has had a sad time of late. While I was in Kansas we had some rain and snow in the DC area. Some of material on the underside of the garage roof became wet and let go covering my car below. The car has been washed but a residue from bumper to bumper has remained. While much of it will come off with auto detailing, there are three or four stains (rust colored stains) that have penetrated into the paint and will demand painting.
The estimates for repair are all over the place, from $400 to a full paint job at $6,500. While getting estimates, one eager beaver of a driver pulled out from a side business and hit the car on the front driver’s side. That repair is going to be just over $1,050.
The adjustor is going to be looking at the car this week…it is possible, hopefully not as it runs well, the vehicle will be written off. See pics below. First is the area that let go onto the car.

Even with the dents and discolorations, the Taurus still looks better than a pristine Hummer. :)
The Taurus as a car had promise early on, but Ford refused to put the necessary research and development into it and it became strictly a fleet car in its later years.
I rented a brand new 2007 Taurus...yes they still built them in early 2007 but were sold only to fleets. This car was horrible. It was brand new, but the seats were uncomfortable, it was grossly underpowered and unrefined. The power sunroof and leather interior could not make up for its serious faults.
That hurts! I agree with Evie - the Hummer still rates the best of the worst of the "Ugly Car" award!
