[Shotimes] UPDATE: Another SHO bites the BIG ONE

[Shea Tisdale]

Well, my SHO has helped me avoid many accidents due to its' superior
handling.  Although, my new ride is far superior to even my SHO in most
all aspects...unless you count trunk space or rear seat space...  

So I have to agree with you that any "normal" vehicle would have
probably resulted in a far worse situation.  Maybe you should get the
big-brake upgrade on the next SHO...help slow the vehicle down even
more.

Just glad he's okay.

You may be right, but so far the Taurus SHO has saved his ass nicely. If
it
where an import, I don't believe he would have survived.
