[Shotimes] Should I destroy a 91+??

I have to agree with the crowd on this one. I am very, very fortunate to 
have two SHO's identical to mine in local scrapyards (color and year!). I 
dunno where I would be without those parts... and my SHO is immaculate, 
like near showroom quality, partly because of these junkers. I sleep better 
at night knowing that I have a source for parts if I get rear-ended tomorrow.

People like Al Fitz keep a viable stream of parts for the other 75% of SHOs 
out there.

Keep in mind, also, that a lot of people at auto auctions probably have NO 
CLUE as to what an SHO really is, for that matter most people wouldn't be 
able to distinguish one from a regular Taurus. Many probably think it's 
just a tricked out GL, when in fact we know it is much, much more.

And I don't see anyone in the after market making OEM bumpers, EATC units, 
fenders, seats, consoles, etc. etc. ad nauseam. We are lucky to have 
suppliers for headlights, and that is only because they are ford parts bin 
from the Sable!!!

So basically without "parts" SHO's and people like Al, we'd be in a pinch.

And if I were running a "business" like Midwest SHO Specialists, I'd be a 
LOT more careful before slandering one of the most liked people on this 
list. That's just plain poor business sense, considering a large portion of 
sales must come from here.
