[Shotimes] SHO Leather (WAS the next Taurus SHO)

[Carl Prochilo]

I'll add a specific set of photos to my website so you can see what
206xxx mile SHO leather seats look like.  It could be a lot worse. 
One problem I see is that the leather surface itself is very thin so
it is easy to crack and separate.  My rear seats are also cracking
but those are due to excess exposure to sunlight.

The seats on my son's 95 which are split cloth leather on a car that
had only 60K miles were in a lot worse shape with tears than my 92.
