Just to add: This advice might seem daunting. Think<br>baby steps though. If you really want to keep the car,<br>find someone from the list in the area who is<br>knowledgeable and seek their guidance and help. That's<br>what I did.<br><br>When I joined this list in 1999 I didn't know how to<br>remove a wheel by myself. I met a lot of great people<br>(some who I consider my closest friends now) and we<br>helped eachother out. In January of this year I<br>finished installing an engine that I built. A lot of<br>us have come a long way with the help and support of<br>this group.<br><br>The SHO does have high maintenance periods that can be<br>a heartache and a financial strain. This can be a<br>crossroads for many. If I had known this when I bought<br>my first SHO I never would've gotten into them.<br>However, I don't regret SHO ownership because of what<br>I have learned and the friendships that I've formed<br>over the years. For me, it's not even about the car<br>anymore; it's 
this community. <br><br>Ian<br><br>--- clubairth@bellsouth.net wrote:<br><br>> Maury:<br>>  If you are going to keep the SHO, just plan on<br>> doing the work yourself.
