You know that we believe in still dating your spouse so we were excited when we found out that we had won the “Ford Taurus Game Day Experience.” The prize for winning the contest was use of a new 2010 Ford Taurus SHO for the weekend, hotel, fuel and two tickets to see my beloved Philadelphia Eagles take on the New Orleans Saints in Philly. I love a good road trip so I was all in, especially if I get to see my squad play without having to buy tickets. Well… my team ended up catching a beat down but somewhere along the way we fell in love with the new Taurus believe it or not (never thought I’d be saying that). Check out the video we took during the trip. We headed to Atlantic City first, then over to Philly and back to the DC area. We had a ball driving the highways, eating (Bobby Flay’s Steak House) and showing people the car along the way. To check out our detailed review of the Taurus SHO click here.

I told Patrick I wanted one, and he was like, "A Ford Taurus?!? Baby, I know you've got better taste than that!" LOL I told him it was the 2010 Taurus I wanted, and he insisted that we go look at this "ugly" car. When we googled it, he was like, "That's not the Ford Taurus." Oh, yes it is! Wait till he sees this video! I'm also glad to know that Detroit is potentially on the comeback trail with this vehicle in its repertoire. That's all I want for Christmas right there. LOL Thanks for the review! I'm glad you all had a good time!

It takes a lot to to tickle my fancy. I had four different Fords in my life time and I use to call them a four letter (bad) word. LOL. What a beautiful car. I love the body and the interior is beautiful and functional. I love the "parental conrol" of the speed and the "blind spot" feature. it even has the backup cam in the dash and a GPS. I am use to heated seats in a car but a vibrating seat? Wow! that would be great for long distant traveling. I love this car. I wish President Obama would bring "Cash for Clunkers" back. As much as I did not want a car payment for a couple years I think this car is worth it. Thanks for the video. I wish they would let you keep the car or give you a deep discounted price to purchase it. I had never seen the beauty of this car until today. You advertised this car well. Great Job! @ Harriet, I have been to the car shows in Detroit and our local car shows many times. I guess seeing a car driven makes a difference for me. I would not mind this vehicle being on my Christmas list. Santa Can You Hear Me? LOL. I am going to get on their site and see what it looks like in a black green or hunter green. I do love the black though. @ Lamar, glad your team won. Nothing like driving a distance in a new car and having to be bummed about your team losing on the ride back.
