This is a shot of my car getting towed. When I took the car in a month ago, it was sunny and hot. Now it has no brakes and I am towing it to a new shop down the street.

Good thing this garage is pretty generous, to be able to fit TWO Mercury Marquise. One a huge 1969 convertible, and the other a 2003 Grand Marquis LSE!

For such a big car, and trunk, there isn't as much room as you might think, because of the convertible top and full size spare tire.
