[Shotimes] Should I destroy a 91+??

[Midwest SHO Specialists SHOtimes]

I think it's a tough line to draw.  I'm of the opinion that if you are a SHO
enthusiast you can not part out the few remaining SHOs in the name of making
a buck.  By this time you have to know what you can get for them.  If you
can't sell them don't buy them.  Let someone else enjoy the SHO for the
first time. A kid will buy a SHO and stupidly put all his money into to fix
it up, for the love of the car.  Hell, I have put $7000 into a 1995 GL.

I don't want to sound mean, but something about having 50 SHOs on hand and
very few for sale scares me.  I haven't sent you hate mail, nor would I, but
I can definetly see where those people are coming from.

See, now I'm sorry, but this particular car I asked you about.  I wanted it,
but I didn't want to bid on it and drive the price up for you so I let it
go.  By just not bidding on it at all, someone who wanted to fix up a rare
car of which there are only 700 (in that color) could have had it for what
you paid and the car would have never been in danger of being stripped.  Now
you buy it, mark it up for a significant amount, even though you haven't
done anything to it, and we all know it's not going to pull $1500, so off to
the shredder it goes.  It seems a little planned to me and I'm getting
pissed off typing this email out right now so here it stops.
