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

[Ron Porter]

It sounds like a great car as a family ride and a daily driver, but this is
in addition to the SHO. Your SHO is still a 10-year-old car with a bunch of
miles, and may not be something that you want your wife and baby to rely on.
It would also be significantly cheaper than the 2001 Odyssey.

So, my dear old mother calls me today, and asks me how much I know about
Tauri and Sables.  I tell her quite a bit.  She says a friend of my
grandmother is getting a new car today and is either trading in her '96
Sable or selling it for the trade-in price the dealer quoted: $3500.

Anyway, it's a '96 with a bunch of options.  24V Duratech, 16" rims, red
with tan leather interior, EATC, moonroof, etc.  Pretty much loaded, and
it has but 49k miles.

I have been feeling a bit jealous that she found this deal.  I keep
thinking that I wish I could buy this car.  Am I cheating on my SHO?
Would I really be any happier driving around this Sable around?  I don't
know.

I just need some support right now...some people to tell me that's it's
okay that I'm still driving my old SHO around.  It is, isn't it?  I
mean, look at what my SHO could become if I dumped $3500 into it today.
A whole new paint job and some fresh black leather inside would make it
absolutely beautiful again, and far more enjoyable than some Sable.

On a brighter side, this same older couple may be selling their 2001
Odyssey with only 19k miles.  If it's anywhere as good a deal as the
Sable, my wife (with our first child on the way) may soon be an official
member of the "Soccer Mom Club".

Sorry for the interruption.
