I washed my car the other day and thought I'd better get a picture of it while it was still clean.

My station wagon photographed at the local reservoir. The rims are not stock items, they're aftermarket wheels I added from a 1996 Volvo brick.

I finally got my car back out of the shop this past Thursday and it runs really good now.

A quick picture of my 1996 Mercury Sable LS station wagon from this past Sunday, just after I had washed it.

I got my new wheels and tires put on today. They were from a 1996 Volvo station wagon. I think they look much better than the factory wheels that came on it - those were some of the ugliest wheels I've ever seen.

Another angle of my new car. This shows the worst spot on the body - a crack in my plastic bumper. I wish cars had real bumpers again.

Here's my new station wagon all polished up on the outside. Next to tackle that filthy interior!

My new car - it's a 1996 Mercury Sable LS wagon. It's the sister car of my 1996 Ford Taurus GL wagon, although the better dressed sister of the two. My Ford is the base model and this Mercury is the top model. I still haven't had much time to look it over as it was almost dark when I got it home and then my neighbors had a bonfire cookout afterward. But, tomorrow, I'm going to start looking it over and clean it up on the inside and outside.

A great looking Mercury Sable station wagon, the sister car to the Ford Taurus. It looks to be a 1996 model.
