[Shotimes] (OT) Do I still love my SHO?

[Kurt Metros]

Steve,

I think just looking at the Sable will make your decision easier.  If
you're still on the fence post, drive it.  Then go flog your SHO and
grin.

I'd rather have a fast rough car than a clean low mileage lethargic run
of the mill, 'oh there goes another one' car any day.  Just my .02.

Kurt
