My first new car was an orange 1979 Pinto Wagon. It moved me back and forth to Louisiana and took me and my friends all kinds of places cars don't belong.
When the first kid came along we bought a 1988 Taurus Wagon. My wife's favorite car of all time, we drove it for 11 years and traded it for our Honda. It is too bad that Ford took it for granted, since it was the American sedan standard for almost a decade. I remember seeing the first one drive by and saying: "Wow! Look at that!". I haven't had that reaction for an American car since.
