[Shotimes] (OT) Aspires...was: Re: Almost lost it, aka death by phone

[Midwest SHO Specialists SHOtimes]

Noah, I'm not sure where in the country you are located, but a local yard
has a 96' Aspire that they want $500 for.  It looks to be in great condition
with no rust and a very minor dent on the right quarter panel.  We were
going to buy it for the same reasons as you, but my associate wants to stay
true to the SHOgun theme.  Let me know if you want details on it.
