[Shotimes] Re: (OT) How to avoid the pitfalls of pricing Former Porsche boss: There's no 'right price' for a car

Uhhh....no, I don't. I'm sorry if my posts don't describe it as 
"The-greatest-car-ever-produced-by-anybody-at-an-incredibly-cheap-price",
but I make no apologies.

And excuse me for thinking that, having bought new SHOs in '89 and '99,
which I view as a far greater support for the SHO than 99.99% of the people
out here, plus having driven them for 15 years, that I don't have SHO
credentials, or know my ass from a hole in the ground. Those folks can kiss
it. Yes, I tend to have no sympathy for folks who bought used SHOs and
lament it's loss.....look n the f-in mirror.

I am a realist, and I've never owned rose-colored glasses. I'm sorry (well,
no I'm not) if people cannot conduct a constructive opinion of the car.

I have had the same view of every car I have owned. Like my 911, the Z28s,
the Corvettes, the Mustangs, etc, etc, they all had their place in time.
Doesn't mean that they still can't be fun, but time and car technology have
moved on. Enjoy them for what they are, and appreciate what they were in the
past.

As I have stated MANY times, these SHO lists are "unique" in the regard of
many of the owners, and their refusal to accept current reality. I don't see
it on any other car lists I've been on, or the ones I'm on today.

Dave,

At some point, I get tired of the constant comments about how overpriced 
the SHO was, how is doesn't compare to todays cars.  etc etc.  Yes, Ron 
does put the SHO down a lot.  I defend the SHO a lot. 

But guess what?  These are lists about the SHO, and FOR the SHO.
