Hello,

Due to work getting hellaciously busy, I was unable to put some  
pictures online and let the car sit.  Well, things have normalized  
again for the time, so I'd like to re-open this offer.

The date I'd like to make a decision by is Saturday September 23, two  
weeks from now.

Also, here are pictures of her:
"Low" Res: http://209.7.241.208/~admin/Taurus_SHO_33pct/
High Res: http://209.7.241.208/~admin/Taurus_SHO_orig/

Please send me an email if you're interested!

Thanks,
Michael

> Hello SHOTimers,

> I am open to any offers (including free), however anyone

> This offer is open until 8/18.  The highest offer, if any, at or
> over $500 will be accepted by the 11th, otherwise the best offer
> by the 18th gets the car. After that, if nobody has claimed her,
> I'm going to resign myself to taking her to the junk yard. :-(
