Hello everyone,
My name is Joe. I'm 18 years old and I'm from Detroit, Michigan. I just bought my first SHO last week and I'm very eager to get it on the road. For the past two years I have been driving a 2000 Dodge Neon, that I love but it is time to move on. Last week I was at my neighbors party and I got to talking to this old man. He told me he had a 1995 ATX SHO Taurus parked in his driveway and he asked me if I would like to purchase it. I asked him how much he wanted for the car and the man said $300.00. I figured at that point the car would be in such horrible shape it wouldn't be worth my time but out of curiosity I drove over to his house and looked at the car. Its a Green SHO, fully loaded with no rust and 130,000 miles. He told me he didn't know anything about cars so he's letting it go cheap because "it doesn't run right". I removed a spark plug and noticed it had oil on it uh oh. Then I checked the dipstick and there was so much oil in the car that it was four inches past the "fill line." Sounds like an easy fix to me, I've got my fingers crossed. I just wanted to tell my SHO story and introduce myself. Oh and the car starts and drives :dribble: $300.00 bucks I still can't believe it!

Sounds like a guy here that put 12 quarts in. I wouldn't drive if until you change the plugwell seals and oil.
