FW: [Shotimes] (OT) SHO replacement

[Ron Porter]

For me, daily drivers are always cars that need gas and an occasional oil
change to keep going. Doing maintenance on a "play" car is fine, as it can
sit for weeks until I get to it. SHOs are no longer in that realm, for me,
anyway. Most of the nice SHOs out there are not daily drivers for the
owners. Right now, I have enough other cars scattered about my house. I will
eventually get back to a SHO, but it will be strictly a "play" car with no
need to be reliable for my daily driving needs. SHOs are great cars....for
their day. The technology and level of refinement has been surpassed by many
cars years ago. 

Same with my 911. In 1984, it was the quickest and fastest car out there,
except for maybe the Countach. Time has passed it by, but it doesn't mean
that it still isn't a nice car in it's own right.

Buy why would you WANT to replace the SHO?

Go to ebay and buy a couple more and keep on going.
