The shitty cars of Englewood #8. 1989 Mercury Sable GS Wagon
Welcome to the Shitty Cars of Englewood #8
Within only blocks of the concrete bunker we find some of the junkiest jalopies in all of Colorado. It’s not like us to keep this bounty to ourselves. Oh, no. We want to share it with you, our loyal readers.
This amazing Mercury Sable wagon is a vehicle we have spotted on numerous occasions – but, until now we had not had the opportunity to photograph it. It’s most often in use, turning heads as it fetches groceries in true hotrod style.
It’s owner is clearly very proud to pilot such an awe-inspiring incredible vehicle. He has taken the time and spent the money to fit the Sable with awesome mags and race-rated tires for ultimate control and high-speed cornering. He probably drives it with the ferocity of the late Dale Earnhart, to whom tribute is paid by the #8 decal that decorates the rear window glass.
Superior underpinnings are only one brilliant feature of this amazing Sable wagon. The flat black and white race-inspired paint job gives the car a custom look and was obviously applied by the dedicated motorist who calls the Sable his own. It’s offset by tasteful pinstriping which graces the hood and rear hatch door. Some of the flat black paint has begun to fall off – but you can bet that the Krylon King will rattle-can those blemishes away soon.
Notice that, draped from the rear bumper, there is a placard of some kind which includes the phrase “WT IZ IT?” or “what is it?”. We know what it is. It’s a shitty car of Englewood. And it’s glorious.
