Are those the AWD Eco Boost Tauruses?
I considered one of those before I got my Maxima...but they are so rare, I've onlly seen 4 or 5 over the past year on the road. It would have been hard to find one that was 1 year used with less than 10K miles, so I went with the Maxima. |

You dont see gumball machines anywhere else these days. VSP hasnt had them on their cars since the late 80s.

I have to wonder what they did to accomodate the push bumper on a uni-body car.
I also wonder if torque steer will be a constant complaint from the troopers. |

Just up the road from me, they hamlet I have to drive though to get to Costco uses Tahoes, whit and blue ones, to try and catch speeders. They park in the turn around lane of the median to try and catch people going the other way in a 35. You can spot a quarter mile away on a dark night.
