[Shotimes] SHO f***ing hates me, was Re: what's next

[Mark Nunnally]

Parkway Ford is in Calhoun, a litte south of Rome off I-75.  They are a big
SVT/FRPP dealer, I know the manager of the performance parts division.
Don't know much about the service dept but I imagine they are somewhat
decent.

Otherwise, FPS is another choice, but much farther away
