Taurus is the perfect BFF car
by Madelyn Miller, the TravelLady
I have known Anne for about 15 years. She has managed one of my favorite stores,
California Girl for all of that time. So she knows my shopping habits and
lifestyle.
Anne has worked in the same industry for the same company as long as I have
known her. I was an advertising agency owner when I met her. Then I went on to
be a motivational speaker, a Voodoo Queen (I manufactured Sadam Husein voodoo
dolls during the Gulf War) Then I made other political dolls until I started
reviewing restaurants for three different publications.
One weekend, another journalist invited me on a travel “press trip” to Edmonton,
Alberta, Canada. That was my professional AH HAH moment. I discovered that
destinations would pay your expenses and entertain you if you would write
stories about them. I have one skill. It is writing. So this was the perfect
career path for me. Moving forward with the Internet
A trunk big enough for Two Shoppers
Note: It was not as easy for the two of us to get out as it was for us to get
in. Do not try this at home with two people unless you practice first, or one is
as nimble as Anne.
Beyond the Taurus Trunk
But the Taurus is much more than a trunk on wheels.
Here are some features I would share with my BFF. (or maybe she will just get
her own Taurus)
Clearly, the designers thought outside the ordinary sedan box. Instead, they
focused on the details and sculpted an athletic profile that is perpetually
poised. Exterior mirrors flow purposefully from the doors. Lines convey power
and agility. Incandescent tail lamps pick up those same lines and race you
around the rear. It’s all meant to pull you inside where there are countless
reasons to never get out. An Obsession with Details
You’ll notice the attention to detail the moment you get in. Available
multi-contoured seats provide a therapeutic massage to help reduce driving
fatigue. The center stack flows into the armrest console at a perfectly
driver-oriented 38º angle, the controls illuminated by Ice Blue™ Lighting. While
available leather-trimmed climate-controlled front seats and adjustable ambient
lighting with seven colors and five dimmers let you get the environment just
right . This was designed to be a driver’s car, from those lumbar-massaging,
fatigue-reducing, nerve-stimulating seats on out.
Rubbing us the Right Way
The Inside Story
How this story ends
As big as the Taurus trunk is, after I went shopping, there was only room for
one person. Me. I share lots of things--but I need my own toothbrush and my own
space.

I started 
Anne is an automotive girl. She could not wait until I came to the store
(usually on Saturday) She would run out to see what I was driving. Often I asked
if she could take a picture of me in the trunk. She was happy to help. Each week
she admired and commented on the cars and was thrilled when I started
When I drove up with the Taurus, she had a big smile on her face. When I handed
her the camera she commented that we could both fit in the trunk. But I wondered
who would take our picture?
The trunk is every shopper’s fantasy. I could fill it with bags of fashion
bargains and sill have room to go to the grocery store for necessities. 
What I like best about the interior:
