[Shotimes] I HATE my SHO, shotimes, and all of you!!!!

[James F. Ryan III]

I REALLY hate this place. I thought my engine was perfectly fine but most if
not all of you have convinced me that apparently MY engine was installed
incorrectly at the factory.  I will fix this 'problem' by mounting my V6 so
the front of the engine truly faces the front of the car.  It looks like
it'll be a ton of work, will require lots of custom fabrication, and cost a
LOT of money.  But I'll do it because you guys said so.

After finding the SHOtimes & TechSHO lists, I am now aware of all the
problems with my SHO. With all the informative responses, I, of course,
immediately try some of the proposed fixes. Unfortunately, many of my
problems are now fixed. This just made it possible for me to hear the other
noises that had been masked by the more prominent sounds. 

This place has gotten me so worked up about my SHO that I can't even listen
to my radio. I spend all my time driving trying to hear "clunks", "pops",
"bangs", and "grinding" noises. I stay awake at night wondering if tomorrow
will be the day I order my Quaife, cams, BBBs, etc.  I will probably lose my
job because I spend so much time reading SHO e-mails and looking through the
SHO websites. 

Before this place, I thought my headlights were fine. But nooooooo, I have
learned they are in fact very yellow. I purchased 15 products just to make
the lens clearer. 7 of the products were not even designed to take the
yellow out of lenses. But you guys said they would do wonders for my lights.
(They did) 

My bank account is getting depleted, what with having to change all my
fluids to synthetic. (Do they make synthetic radiator fluid and synthetic
windshield washer fluid? If so, I'm sure I'll need to get some.) I start to
wonder how I've gotten this far in life without purchasing and installing
every part manufactured/sold by Vadim and Josh. I'm on a first name basis
with the local AutoZone. NAPA now sends me birthday cards. I got invited to
an office party at Pep Boys. All because of this place. 

You people will be the death of me.  :^)
