Paddle Shift : Ford Taurus

Its been a long weekend, July 4th, American Independence Day and we set out to see fireworks @ Savannah
This time we got the mean machine, Ford Taurus SEL version.



It has got all the electronic gizmos that you expect a bit more. Yeah Paddle shift baby !!.  Oh if you dont know about paddle shift read about it here.  


If you see the pic the two levers projecting from the steering does the job.  Put the gear in M mode. Drive off u can do up-shift with either of two levers. When u slow down down shift is done automatically. Well this is not as fun  to drive as fully manual but better than Automatic transmission. At-least u can rev her up.
