[Shotimes] 96 SHO damage report

[John Phillis]

Saw on an episode of Red Green, he took a hammer and gave a ford Tempo "golf 
ball technology."

I guess it went faster. :-)


For anyone who doesn't knwo who Red Green is, then you truely don't 
understand the power of duct tape.

The Man's Creed:  "I am a man, I can change, if I have to, I guess."

Red's Motto: "Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at 
least find you handy."


just my 2 cents. :-)

Well, State Farm Insurance got to look over the "dimpled" hail damaged 96 ES 
SHO V8 of mine today.  Quick service, they wrote me a check for over $4000 
on the spot for the damage.

I am in the process of getting estimates right now and deciding if I want in 
essence a complete repaint with new "recycled" hood and trunk, or to try to 
get out most but not all of the dents with paintless techniques.

Local dealer has a nice 99 TR with Grey interior (if it was TAN i would be 
more tempted) that I will drive soon, just to see.

Nothing decided yet, but I am getting used to driving the car that looks 
like a golf ball.  Maybe it will go faster, since golf balls look like they 
do because the dimples make the ball travel faster in the air...Maybe my 96 
is now good for 150 mph?
