He's been busy. He moved into a house in North Carolina with his girlfriend. His dad has an uber clean '95 SHO with a blown tranny (seriously, you can't even hear the motor running). If your interested, he wants $1k for it.

Hey guy's, Thanks for the thread.

Here's what I've been up to.

After 3 years of my Air Force career of living in the Dorms I am FINALLY in a house. It's a 3 bed 2 bath on 3 acres of land. I'm living here with my girlfriend Ashley.

I had to put a new clutch in my car, As the old just wore out. Once I got that going I started Autocrossing:

I've gotten pretty good at it and have come away with a few First place finishes in my class. The car is damned competitive, I'm going to try to dial in the car some more and go for a regional title.

Here is how the car sits today with its "new" Carbon Fiber hood.

I've also thrown some Nitrous in it for shits and giggles, I'm only running a 55 shot but that will nearly double on the next bottle.

As far as my dads SHO, Well - I think after owning a SHO for 15 years straight he's about done. He has a 1995 Automatic car with 230,000 Miles on it. It runs beautifully, Has probably the quietest motor I have ever heard in a SHO, Just ran so great. However, It being an Automatic and a Ford, The transmission let go this week. It's really not worth putting 2,000 Dollars in a Taurus that's worth well...2,000 and since it's not a 5 speed he really didn't get to attached to this car like he has with all of his other SHO's. The good news is that the previous owner who absolutely loved that car and didn't want to sell it is buying it back. So at least it's going to a good home. Here's a picture of it. Not a bad looking car for having 230k, Eh?

For the most, I've just been super busy between Moving stuff in, Work (I have a 1 hour commute now), Sleeping, Playing with the car and other things. Sorry I have not posted as much but I certainly will more often.

I'm going to the Carlisle all Ford Nationals this weekend in PA. It's the east coast equivalent to Knotts. I'll be there all weekend showing my car with about 60 other SHO's, Should be fun! They are also paying homage to the 20th aniv. of the SHO and ford will be there with a couple of new ones. I hope all of you are doing well and as stated, I'll be around more often. :banana::banana::banana:
