Okay this will sound weird, but there is a John Belushi movie called K9 that features a chase scene with a bunch of black w124's; it was that scene that sent me on my 124 Mercedes obsession - I'm scared to re-watch it, in case it's shit. I was about 8, so it likely was pretty shit. :)

I wanted one of these sooooooo bad. Wound up back in Volvo territory though, as regrettably I couldn't find "the right one" on the used car market. I test drove two and both had been trashed :(

I think they got a lot right with the design, the front proportions and stance is aggressive yet still friendly. I found the seating position of Falcons to be too tall for my liking, I always felt like I was up too high or the seating was too "sensible" when I preferred to be in gokart mode

My Grandfather had one of these in '88(?), it had a digital speedometer which to an 8 year old was a wiiiiild bit of tech. I got to sit in the front passenger seat and felt like a million bucks. Also, I've never noticed the squished read doors before, now I can't un-see it 😅

I never really noticed it before, but the Taurus is strikingly similar to the EL Ford Falcon that was built and sold in Australia. Makes sense that it is, but never really noticed it.
