Conan O’Brien has shown a number of rather interesting cars, ranging from a rickety old Trabant to a BMW i8 on the Autobahn, not to mention the Bugatti Veyron -Muis. But perhaps his most famous ride is his Ford Taurus Sho from 1992, which he bought new and still possesses today. In a recent episode of his podcast, “Conan O’Brien needs a friend“He spoke about his desire to” have it rehabilitated and reduced. “
O’Brien’s Taurus has become one of his current jokes over the years. “It would often come up with celebrities where they would say:” I just have a new Ferrari or something, what do you drive, Conan? ” And I say: “1992 Ford Taurus Sho, super high output!” And the SHO would be laughing.
The Taurus Sho appeared regularly over the years, with O’Brien Leaning hard in it is a cool car That is really not (although it is real). He tried to impress Lisa Kudrow with that, and completely failed. In one segment, he tried to get it insured As one of his most appreciated assets. In another he joked around it give to Brad PittHe started to expel and, according to the podcast, confused his coupling. “Brad Pitt F *** ED on my Ford Taurus. And who can say that?”
Years of neglect
Apart from Brad Pitt, O’Brien’s Taurus Sho has unfortunately been neglected for years. This “60 minutes” segment from 2010 shows it covered with dust that is so thick that people have written messages in it. (O’Brien says it is better than Window Tint because it is free.) It still had its original Massachusetts inspector from 1992 when he bought it. Not visible in the clip the holes were left by Squibs who simulated a shootout for a “Tonight Show” segment, as O’Brien explains on the podcast.
It seems that he has lost sight of the Taurus over the years, but he is still the owner of it and recently found it in a Warner Bros parking garage. He was surprised that it had not been towed away. Now he wants to return the car and restore it in his former glory. The Leno law may not have been adopted, but the Taurus Sho is now a somewhat rare classic that would fit perfectly with Radwood. I personally hope that he can retain the Massachusetts inspection sticker from 1992, and not just because it is part of the heritage of the car. My first car also had a Massachusetts inspection sticker from 1992, and I would like to think that someone like Conan O’Brien and I have at least one thing in common.
