Hello all. Well I will give a little backstory on me to get aquanted a little better. I am new to SHO's and recently purchased my 1st one last month. I got a 1997 WHITE SHO, I am told its RARE and I will tell you all why a little later 
I am far from being a noob to cars. Here is my backstory with cars.
About 10 years ago when my father passed away he left me some life insurance money, he was a car guy and so I thought I would get a nice sporty car and I had always wanted a SVT Contour so I bought one. It was BONE STOCK when I got it, and in the 7 years I owned it I modded the crap out of it, just about nothing else could be done to it without a motor swap or Boosting it.
Then about 3 years ago I got a HUGE bonus at work, so I decided I wanted another CSVT, the one listed above had and was still my DD, I wanted a track and show car. There was one that had been on the contour forums forever and it was a legend of a car so I bought it. Its a 3 liter, turbo monster of a car. I then modded it even further than it was already done, making it better looking and faster of course. I was even on the show passtime in this car, I ran a CRAPPY time cause the day before I broke "UNBREAKABLE" stage 3 axel in 3 pieces and had to run on a stock one the day of the show so I had to baby it and had severe wheel hop and spin off the line, as you all know im sure FWD with over 300whp there are traction problems. That and I couldnt run my slicks due to the stock axle.
Then my life took a HUGE change, my 10 year marriage fell apart, I decided to file for divorce and file for full custody of my 2 children. And of course in doing that I needed alot of money to retain my lawyer so I sold BOTH cars for pennies on the dollar. Well finally after 2 years of fighting that ended and I am victorious and I have primary custody and FULL LEGAL custody of both my children. I am now engaged to be married on March 26th and for my valentines day gift my fiance bought me my SHO. She knew I had always wanted one and the price was too good to pass up on this.
Well what I have been told this is a VERY rare sho. I bought it from a previous Exec from Yamaha. Its a 97 White sho with NO sunroof, NO leather, NO keyless entry pad on drivers door, NO mach audio, Its a stripped down bare model SHO, and I am told that they are VERY rare this way. I would love to find out just how rare this one is........
Well onto the pics. First my prior cars.
