Another Taurus Wagon siteing for you Kat. At the beginning of the movie "Christmas Vacation", Chevy Chase drives to the forest in a Taurus Wagon to saw down a Christmas tree. Wanted to mention it before I forgot again.

As cyborg55 said, it's the mid-engined Ferraris that require engine removal for the 30,000 mile service. (Like the Modena and the Magnum PI car). Almost all Ferraris have shim and bucket valve adjusters. That can get a bit tedious on a 12 cylinder, 4 valve engine. Let show some pics of what we are talking about. 400i  360 Modena  |

I admire the visual appeal of the Victories. They were beautiful (with a few exceptions). I think part of their problem was that they did not offer any sub-liter bikes. You need a smaller bike to bring in new and younger riders. -The other problem, in my opinion, was the pure mass of the bikes. I know a young, strong guy that injured his hip without his Victory falling. He stuck his leg out to hold up the bike in a low speed, panic stop and the stress damaged his hip. You need to be a durable guy to ride those things. You mean beautiful like this one?  No worries about sub-liter there. Or pure mass. The dealer where I got Peej sold these things. I think it was almost as long as my old Taurie-wagon. Probably weighed as much. I believe it came with equipped with refrigerator and microwave oven. Plus a pull-out bed. I found a pic of some slight woman driving one when I Googled for an image to post. I don't believe it. Well, then again, I doubt the Vision could fall over, so she wouldn't need to ever be able to lift it. >'Kat No, Kat. The Vision and other cruisers were the "few exceptions". |

Great deal if you don't plan to put a lot of miles on it. 30,000 mile service requires engine removal on some Ferraris.
I'd love to have a 360 Modena.

The broadcasters said the City of Pasadena has a "Never on Sunday" Ordinance for the parade, that dates back to pre-automobile days.I did not know that until this year, though I have watched the Rose parade all of my life.

Forgot to mention that one of the marching bands in the Rose Bowl Parade played Fanfare for the Common Man. Director must have been an ELP fan.
