I've been on the forums a bit in anticipation of me finding the right SHO.
When I went to see the her, I was a little taken back because I'm not rich, but I wanted her no matter what I had to do. "Shoffie" was a little beat up, previous boyfriend must've been a car beater. She was so beat up, as some of you know, she didn't make it home the first day because a radiator hose blew. The dealer took her back and fixed her up. This was Friday. I was a wreck all weekend. I got her back on Tuesday this week... and our relationship began. I drove her home and was overjoyed at her performance. I noticed the mufflers were not even, so I decided to go up to the ACTUAL Ford Dealership to see if I can make a new friend with one of the service guys today, and my tire pressure light wouldn't turn off. So, I met my new homie, Jerald, who put my ******* a lift and showed me exactly why the mufflers were not even and said to find a little shop who would straighten it out for me because they-him-dealership would charge an arm and a leg and want to replace the whole exhaust, can't afford that. Jerald also told me to come through and get the full service tune-up (She's Well Under 90K Though), but with the tune-up/revamp of the engine I would be ready to go. Me and Jerald made and appointment for the fix-up. (Sidenote: On The Carfax It Says "Body Serviced." What does that mean?)
I also had the "reading hard drive" media reading, so I couldn't put a cd in, switch to my phone, or listen to my music via usb or my phone... Jerald told me that he would hook it up when I bring the car by for the tune-up.
Me and my 14-year old son did the plast-dip last night. He was a huge instigator to get the SHO. I was gonna get a 2009-2012 Hyundai 4.6, but my boy and these forums convinced me to go the SHO route. I also didn't like the look of the hyundai over the SHO when it was all said and done. I like American. Anyways, I will post a picture or two here when she gets a good day and cleaning. The weather out here has been awful. Shoffie has some little scratches and a few of those little indentions that you REALLY can't see unless you stand at a certain angle on my side of the car, but she is still nice looking, tight, firm, fast, black, and mine.
Excuse the rant, but I've been driving a 2002 minivan and 2002 Trailblazer for like 2 years.. and before that it was a 2007 HHR for 2 years. (2006 Impala SS before that). I plan on taking care of Shoffie and making her a nice looking force to be reckoned with vs Charger R/T's, IS 350's, Genesis R-Spec's, Q50S', etc (Will Livernois Her When The Time Is Right).
I'm just happy to have a nice car to take care of for once.

I plasti dip myself and that stuff comes out pretty good. I cut out my ford emblem from the front grill So the haters know who made the beast maybe you should black out the fog lights on the bottom also. Been meaning to do mine but hadn't had a chance to.
sometime soon.
But once you put on a tune, you'll be wondering why you waited. More power + better shifting, and you might even get a little better mileage ...
