We're proud to unveil Ford's new vision for the future of automobiles in this country. An innovative concept that fits the needs of all Americans. I present to you the car for the modern age, the 1993 Ford Taurus. With a 3.1-liter V6 engine, a functioning exhaust system, and a working battery, the 1993 Ford Taurus is a car for everyone who can come up with $65 The '93 Taurus was designed by talking directly to American themselves. They told us, "We don't need all the bells and whistles, we want a car that can take us from our mother-in-law's house to the unemployment office and back." But you don't have to take my word for it. Let's hear from some of the drivers who have already pre-ordered their '93 Taurus. Basically, I just need a car and the '93 Taurus is one. I like that it has heat and air conditioning, so my family can live in it year-round. Buyers can also customize their Taurus to fit their life-style, with optional upgrades like working break lights, or a rear-view mirror, seatbelts, and doors that lock. Each '93 Taurus also comes standard with Primus, instead of just a cassette tape of their hit album, Sailing the Seas of Cheese, and plenty of space in the glove compartment for cans of tuna, and cup-of-noodle to eat. Here's a sneak preview of the ad that will be running during this season's Super Bowl. 1993 Ford Taurus 4-Door 5 Speed Stick Shift High Miles but Still Works! !!! $65 Call Greg at Ford 1-8 We encourage everyone to come down to their local Ford dealership today to check out the '93 Ford Taurus. Remember, the dealerships are heated in the winter, have clean bathrooms, and there is a bowl of free candy at the front. Thank you. Still Ahead: Embarrassed Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-MI) calls Speaker Pelosi 'Mom'.

Edited one line to make it bettar.
