Never used a Forum before.

[SHO "NUFF"]

This is my first time using a forum.My name is Alex and I recently bought a 2010 SHO and was told to come to this website from a member on the Ford Motor Company's page on Facebook. Just wanted to introduce myself.

Well hi there! You picked a great forum to bust your forum cherry on - I'm a member of a bunch of forums, and this is by far the best one out there.

Tell us a little more about your SHO! What color? What options? How many miles do you have on it so far? Have you done any mods to it? Have you had any problems with it? There are quite a few other 2010 SHO owners on this forum that can help you out with anything you might want to do.

Again, welcome! :wave:

Well hello and

My SHO is Atlantis Green, not sure if you have seen that color. It was not in the catalog at the dealership I bought it from (Calumet City IL). Love the color almost looks like a charcoal grey but is deep green. I got it fully loaded. Every option on the car except for the Sports tires. It has the 402B package, which includes Heated/Cooled front seats, power moonroof, Sony Audio Sound system w/ 12 speakers, heated rear seats, Rear window power sunshade, blind spot monitoring system, rain sensor wipers, auto highbeam, rear view camera, adjustable pedals w/ memory, V rated tires, Heater engine block, Voice activated navigation system, multi contoured seating, and the 20" Luster Nickel Aluminum Wheels. Very cool car. My plan was to not spend so much on a car but once I test drove it I knew immediately I was going to buy her, and since I was spending so much on a car thought might as well spend a few extra grand and get everything. Very happy with her. Everyone stares at the car. Just put Tints on it yesterday and gave some spa treatment. I have 510 miles put on so far. No mods just yet, not sure what to do to her without voiding any warranties. I have one problem which is minor and the dealer has already ordered the part for me. The back passenger panel on the back window came loose and will not got back in. They are going to fix that along with a couple scratches on the chrome trim around the windows and a couple scuff marks on the pad on the driver door. All will be replaced next week.

Thanks for your response. Looking forward to this forum.

Forgot to mention that no dealer in the area had Atlantis Green available in the package I wanted. They found one in Indianapolis but wound up being a demo, and I quickly refused. After several hours of searching we found one in Sauksville WI and thats where it was shipped from.

We may have seen it once or twice. :laugh_ti:

Did you see Jake and Elroy? :woo-hoo:

 

[SHO "NUFF"]

Hahahaha! I am from Northwest Indiana, just a bit outside of Chicago. I take it you like the Blues Brothers? haha!

I wish they made the SHO in that awesome green they had lol. My friend had had one.

 

[SuperHO]

so I take it in the Gary area then? Maybe lake station?

I'm in your neck of the woods...also in a suburb of Chicago called St. Joe, MI.

Funny thing about the Blues Brothers....I had a dream the other night where I was in a country-wide scavenger hunt, driving a mid 50's Cadillac (impossibly long with big ass fins) with a drivetrain out of a bugatti veyron. The Blues Brothers were with me, and the next item on the list was Britney Spears.

I should probably talk to my doc about changing my medication....

Guilty as charged. Well, not the bottle, but getting the name wrong. It has been a while... I'm actually not sure where I got Elroy from!

Keep your eye on the plastic chrome trim around the lights and such. Lots of posts about them peeling not long after delivery.

Can't say I know much about 2010's but always glad to have another SHO fan in this neck of the woods... Welcome from the Fort!

 

[Irish Pride]

A green SHO that is hard to come by?? whodathunkit??

 

[SHO "NUFF"]

Yeah pretty close to the Gary area, place called Schererville IN. I know where St. Joe MI is, we used to go there to swim and hang out for the most part of the day.

As far as Dearborn, it's pretty short notice and I am working that day. Plainfield is a possibility. Thanks for the invite.

Thanks for the tip on the Chrome trim. I def will keep an eye on it.

 

[SuperHO]

[SHO "NUFF"]

Thanks for the heads up, I checked my windows yesterday and noticed the trim bubbling up. I took it to my Ford dealer and they are going to replace everything. Thanks again.
