Newbie Here!

Hello all. I'm new to the 4th generation ford taurus SHO. I have always had a love for them, and I was able to purchase one. I currently own a ruby red metallic 2015 Non-PP SHO. 117k not abused miles i am also the 3rd owner. Its very very clean but has had an unfortunate accident prior to my ownership. It was since repaired but the paint match between the bumper cover and LF fender is a slightly darker shade. Doesn't bother me, as the car looks absolutely gorgeous from 10ft away! It has every option available for the year including suede & leather seats! 20inch flower SHO rims and an aftermarket black gloss mesh grill up front. Has 5% tint as well. These are a few pics I've taken! Enjoy!

Yes! Took my time and read through all of it. Funny because I've spent the last 3 weeks or so just educating myself on the ecoboost engines, PTU & fluid change, water pump and timing chain replacement, when to go ahead and get those replaced and about the PP SHOs. Very interesting but very solid with the knowledge I've learned about this platform and its been amazing! To speak for my car, its been nothing short of amazing, smooth, gets tons of compliments, and surprises people except normal everyday traffic, people move over or they slow down and stay in my blind spot as they think I'm an undercover cop since my car is heavily tinted!

You read through the whole thing? That is dedication, esp when the dude that wrote it is a tool.

Tradesies straight up for the benzo?

I dont know if you want that life. I cost me $2800 to replace the windshield......

already cracked the windshield? ugh

AZ is the broken windshield capital of the US. I have full glass coverage. When I was driving 20K miles a year, I was putting a windshield in my Focus every 4 to 6 months. I was fixing rock chips every couple. Between replacement and chip repair......I probably have 50 claims between all of my vehicles over the 14 years of my USAA policy. I have owned my Santa Fe for 6 months and it already needs a windshield replacement too.

i a now thinking it through and get why... lots and lots of rocks.

I was in the Orlando last week. I really enjoyed the area. How are windshield claims out there?
