HEY YOU.......was: Re: [Shotimes] get me off of your forum please

[Carl Prochilo]

Actually, I feel that the underlying Taurus platform is a fine car. 
If I didn't feel that way, I wouldn't have kept the car as long as I
have.  And furthermore decided to spend more money on the car than
it's worth to enhance it.

I bet more people feel like George (as I do) than not.  People are
here because they like their SHOs either through a recent
acquisition or original ownership.  If you don't like your SHO, why
torture yourself and incur the Wrath of Khan (um, I mean George). 
Sell it and move on.
