The Red Ford Taurus That’s Scarier Than Any Cop Car: COTD

There are some cars you just know to stay away from. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s rocketing down the highway at 100 mph on a donut spare or it’s so rusted out that you can see daylight through the door panels. Or, maybe it’s a nun in a red Ford Taurus striking more fear into you than the sight of a cop car.

Yesterday, Lewin wrote a humorous article about the scariest cars out there. Citrus had the scariest car story of them all:

Vidframe Min Top
Vidframe Min Bottom

A nun in a red Ford Taurus. She was an incredibly dangerous driver, full “Jesus take the wheel because I’m not going to” level of attention combined with extremely aggressive throttle usage and a general disdain for signals.

The scary things? Well, one, she was a nun, classic monster right there. Two, the cops WOULD NOT PULL HER OVER. Ever. She could do the most egregious, criminal dangerous driving shit, and as soon as they saw who she was, they would drive off. This nun was untouchable.

See the nun in your mirror and you were in for pain. Would she hit you? Would she cause you to hit someone else? You were never safe. And God was not on your side.

But Mechjaz, oh my, this response wins so hard:

I hate this for you but I love this story. The Nuntouchables.

Today, Jason asked you about this interesting car with an ‘X’ painted on its roof. Most of you gave good answers, but V10omous went with the absurd, and I love it:

You see, the car used to be called Twitter…..

Jakob K’s Garage also had a good one:

Look at that X car go!

Today saw the return of a fan favorite, the Motorious Stephen Walter Gossin! The Autopian’s favorite cheap car rescue hero wrote about a Jeep nightmare. In that piece, B L got me in the feels with:

God help me I hear 20-year-old car and still think it’s from the 80’s, not 2002.

I’m younger, but it blows my mind whenever I remember that my 2005 Smart Fortwo is going to be 20 years in a couple of months. I could have sworn 20 years ago was the 1990s! Oh well, have a great weekend, everyone!

That nun may have almost driven into me multiple times, but I got COTD so all worth it.

I think being in ‘the 2000s’ messed up my perception of time, so like 80s was 20 years ago, 90s was 10 years ago.

Probably cause I didn’t know what to call the first 10 years, so just called them the 2000s, but we’re still in the 2000s. Do we call this the 20s? Should I be doing the Charleston?

I’m 41 and I love using terms like “back around the turn of the century” and “1900s internet was so slow” etc, it annoys my 12 year old boy haha

I keep being shocked when I see some rock star type who I haven’t thought of for years and they’re “suddenly” ancient and decrepit.

Or its corollary, that the Rolling Stones are somehow still going.

I really wish everyone had standardized on “the aughts.”

I call them the naughties, then teens, twenties, etc. As VanGuy said it should probably be the Naughts but it’s more fun to say the naughties. It also helps that those were my college years…
