A little mad the intro didn’t say “Let’s get this SHO on the road”

[deathcheater]

Love my SHO on the highway. I don’t need mirrors to see who’s behind me, because I know that everyone is behind me.

The Ford Taurus was also in NASCAR as a official race car from 1998 to 2005

First car was a 93 Taurus GL. Loved it, had fun with it and miss it.

Now 10 years later, I just acquired a 14 SHO. What an amazing car!

My first car - '95 Taurus GL. My second car - '94 SHO. When released in 1989, the SHO was the second fastest 4 door car in the world behind only the M5.

I was in Air Force Security Forces, got out as a Staff Sergeant. Loved my Ford Taurus Interceptor. Got one up to 110 mph responding from one side of the base to the other. Always gassed it up, vacuumed it, and washed it at the end of the shift. An absolutely gorgeous vehicle by military standards.

The man that brought performance to Ford by way of the Mustang.

LOVED my '94 ... HATED my '99 Taurus. (I cannot stress the word "Hate" here. But I gave the car away for $500 in '03 and haven't bought a Ford since).

"With Mercury in retrograde"
I suspect all Ford brands were "in retrograde" at the time.

I remember when I moved to the states in 2002 a neighbor of mine had the second generation sho model and I thought it was the coolest American car I had ever seen. It still is.
