My dad had a 90-something Sable. The instrument cluster was like a spaceship and all the electronics gradually failed and the power steering pump had a leak that was incurable. Utter garbage.

I thought this was a caprice at first and thought it was decent.

My very first car was a hand me down from my dad, an 87 Taurus with a host of past engine and transmission problems (that were kinda fixed by the time it got to me). It was gray and had a peeling gelcoat, it looked like a a beached whale after a few days in the sun. So ugly. It nickel and dimed me to death (the first…

You are right, those cars were death traps when new. My brother in law had one that lost a transmission under 50k miles into service. My best friend had one and he had nightmares that it was going to kill him. The thing wallowed around like a floppy fish and made my 91 Blazer feel like it had good road manners. Every…

Same. I get irrationally angry when I see people do this to cars and then think somehow they’re worth like a billion percent more than they really are.

This vehicle makes me angry. I want to beat everyone associated with it.

My mom had a Sable when I was a kid, I have a lot of fond memories of being stranded in that thing. It got scrapped at about 90k with it’s third grenaded transmission.

I miss my 95 SHO. Those were great cars for the time, and still excellent to drive today.

Plate belongs to a 1988 Mercury Sable.

We had a 96 Taurus wagon and a 96 Sable sedan. The Taurus blew two head gaskets before 130k, and the Sable caught fire at 125k. Fuck these cars.

That’s an ‘89 at the newest. The 90-91 have a completely different dash.

FIFY.

That steering wheel is hilarious.

Milk, bread, and eggs... What is it about a blizzard that makes everybody want to have French Toast?

right. it’s absolutely, positively, his fault that they don’t have the parts. if you want to fix it, i’m sure he’ll allow you to.

My turbo brick has turned into a salt brick. Damn Chicago winter.

If you live in an area where you get an excessive amount of snow and extremely cold weather I can understand investing in a set of winter tires. However, most people are not going to keep a second set of tires and rims for a few months of usage. Where I live we get on average 30-35 inches per year and sub freezing but…

I’m not convinced anyone in NYC knows the rest of the country exists.

I was being semi-facetious. I really don’t see sedans going anywhere anytime soon. People still buy Camrys and Accords like they’re going out of style, even though both the new ones are heinously ugly.

CUVs , lots of CUVs
