George,calm down!I'm glad you sold your SHO Ron.Attitude like that Sucks.My Gen 1 was bought for the body style.It was the #1 selling point.I had no idea about the Yamaha engine,none.After the test drive I opened the hood and looked.DAMN.WOW!!!!!I didn't get into the secondaries until a week later.The look on my face and the feeling in my gut was, KICKASS!!!YEAH!6 months later I found SHO-SHO she is my '92.She was almost perfect.I bought her for the refinement in the body style.The engine was not the reason why I bought either of my SHO's.IT WAS BODY STYLE!

There's a BIG difference between the two terms, and that fact was, and still is, part of the attraction of a SHO. GM pickups and two door coupes from the 70's and 80's were POS's...the doors would fall off the bodies after a couple of years of duty as ranch trucks, even in California, with no rust. The 2 door coupes from that era were the same way.....you still see them now....Monte Carlos, Firebirds, Camaros....with doors that hang down and won't latch because the hinges are shot. I possess 5 Taurus bodies (bought 2 of them new or almost new) myself, and know of literally dozens of others, SHO and otherwise, whose doors sound the same when they are shut as they did the day they were built. The Lowrider is on its way back from the moon, and was owned by a door slamming druggie for part of its pre 100k mile life. It's still the same as new. Taurus doors are light (relatively)....my '87 Turbo Coupe, long retired, still shuts its doors exactly the way it did when new.....they're very heavy, and have 200k miles on the original hinges. When I first got the Lowrider, I noticed how light the doors were, and didn't think they'd last like they have. Anything can be mistreated, but my farmer friends did not mistreat their Chevies, and after seeing my F350 in 1988, they've had Ford trucks ever since, and love them. Watch that 'POS' label, please...... George _______________________________________________ Shotimes mailing list Shotimes@autox.team.net http://www.team.net/mailman/listinfo/shotimes
