I just junked my 87 Taurus MT5 wagon, four cylinder 5 speed. Serious body rusting issues 187k miles, 2nd best car I've ever owned, first was 1979 Pinto, hold the laughter. I could have continued using the 87, however the rust was extensive, I figured to be safe it had to go, I hated myself for doing it, I bought it new, now I only have three left, 93, 94 wagon, and 99 duratec wagon. Thank god Ford is keeping them going, I'm a happy man. Change the oil regularly and for god's sake, if it starts heating up toward the red zone, call a tow truck. Overheating these engines, short of running with no oil, is the absolute worst thing you can do, these are not your father's 1963 Ford engine
