[Shotimes] Mid-engine, SHOgun type Q's

[Ron Nottingham]

It was either that, or the POS Tempo, or the POS Escort :-)  I don't think
Ford would have put it in the Probe, since it was to be the Mustang
replacement.  Gee, just think if the Probe DID replace the Mustang?  We
wouldn't have the AWESOME 03 Cobra!
