[Shotimes] SHOs are totally UNIQUE!!!!!!!

I think that my withdrawl would be worse than yours.

The clutch (the T/O bearing and/or the release fingers) in the '95MTX went
out out over the last couple of weeks, so I just had to buy another.  During
this process, I went back to the '93MTX, much to the dismay of my #4
daughter, who has been using this on a part-time basis.

Last Saturday/Sunday I picked up another NICE '95MTX from none other than
Mr. David Bonds!  Drove it back 1150 miles from Houston, Texas.

This SHO has a 5 disk CD hooked up to a good radio, but I only just made it
through the 5 cd's that I loaded before I left Texas.  I had Count Basie,
Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, etc. loaded in the system, but the SHO sounds
usually came out on top.

You are right, it is hard to explain the "magic" of these SHOs, but at least
I will be happy for the next 2-3 years with this '95MTX, even though
everybody around me thinks I am nuts, with 3 green SHOs!

Thinking of selling the '95MTX with a bad clutch, but what should I ask?

Valparaiso, Indiana
'95 MTX - 279k - lots of mods (and a bad clutch)
'93 MTX - 284k - few mods and starting to rust (still runs good)
'95 MTX - 126k - lots of mods (just got, from David Bonds)
