4,153 | i saw this posted and it brings an interesting event to mind .....
a few weeks ago i was in the DMV with ken. i was standing in a mile long
line waiting for some really bored looking person to fleece a bunch of
people from some dough. ken was sitting on a chair next to our helmets
wondering why everybody there looked to be about the social calibur of
people you would find at a laundromat when some young woman walked in who
required our conferring attentions. he came over and stood in line with me
while we watched her fill out some forms and then we noticed a little kid
about 4 years old reach over the bench and touch our helmets, one at a time.
i didn't particularly mind, and neither did ken (that the kid was touching
our helmets that is). but the helmets weren't on the most stable of
platforms, so ken scooted over there to resettle them and as soon as he
touched the helmets, mother of said child started shrieking at her kid "YOU
STAY AWAY FROM THOSE YOU SHIT!" and whopped the tyke brutally about the head
and shoulders. | 6 |

Automatic revocation of your license for a year. I'm not sure it's the
"toughtest" law around, but NC has absolutely no sense of humor with
respect to driving laws, anyway. I think they put you in jail and sell
your first child into slavery for passing a school bus...
A bill breezed through the NC House to lower the intoxification level
from .1 to .08. It faces stiff opposition in the Senate. Recently,
the Highway Patrol took a few of the opposition Senators out and gave
them some shots, and when they hit .07, put them on a course dodging
cones. They failed, and will probably change their votes as a result.
For some bizarre reason, NC is the only state where the governer has no
veto power over legislation coming out of the state Congress, so his
opinion on the matter is moot.

3,330 | Just a quick, simple question really...
How many wheels are affected by the emergency brake on an '86 Nissan
Maxima. I've heard that all four are affected, but this would seem unusual
to me. I thought the emergency brake on most cars only affected the rear
wheels. Also, how powerful is the emergency brake usually? Enough to lock
wheels at 30mph? Hmmmm... I just have to wonder about some of the things I
hear... | 6 |

I think the Blue Book is the NADA handbook for used car prices, no?
Is the Blue Book value given the retail or wholesale value??? The
Blue Book value isn't set in stone, though. Low milage, extra addons
and stuff like that there can increase the resale price of the car, you
may want to head on over to the local library or borrow your friends
Blue Book and read up on that sort of stuff. I paid ~$400 under BB
(retail) for my '87 Civic in 1990, and it was in perfect condition and
had only ~14.5K miles on it. The guy was desparate to sell, new kid on
the way, etc., but it was a good price. Remeber, both you and the
buyer, if he has any sort of brains at all, are using the Blue Book, so
you should pick a fair price.

662 | My Kawasaki KZ 750 L4 has 2-3 millimetres of play on the gearchange
pedal axle, in other words, I can move the axle sideways & up-and-down
for few millimetres to each direction. This doesn't bother me when
riding, but I guess fixing it wouldn't hurt. Last summer I took the
bike to a shop to have the valves adjusted, and the mechanic mentioned
that it should be an easy job. All I would have to do is to remove the
front sprocket cover and replace a bushing or a seal that I would find
there. Well, upon a closer inspection I discovered that the gearchange
axle doesn't even run through the sprocket cover. It seems that, in
addition to removing the cover, I would have at least to remove the
sprocket and then the cover that is behind the sprocket.
Question : Would removing this small cover from the left side of the
engine enable me to lay my hands on that bushing/seal (Don't know the
exact term in english, sorry) ?
Question : Has anybody done this disassembly job for this or some
other purpose ? Does the oil, for example, stay inside the engine ?
Thanks ! | 6 |
2,791 | I have both an '84 and an '86 Camry, each with manual 5-speed transmissions.
The '84 has about 105,000 miles on it and the '86 about 83,000 miles. ABout
a year ago I found that the master cylinder on the clutch in the '84 was
leaking fluid around the piston seal, leading to air in the system and fluid
back into the passenger compartment of the car. I pulled the plunger and
got a rebuild kit (new plunger, seal, etc.) and thought I had the problem
licked. Much to my surprise, the same problem developed several months
later! This time I looked carefully at the master cylinder to make sure
there were no scratches, burrs, or other obvious causes of the problem. I
didn't find any. Ever since I have been periodically feeding the clutch
hydraulins additional fluid and bleeding air from the system. I knew I
would be selling the car and didn't want to go all the way to solving the
problem.
I should add that the clutch is original, and that I've had to adjust the
pedal to allow maximum extension of the piston into the master cylinder in
order to actuate the clutch.
My hypothesis is that this means that when fully depressing the clutch pedal,
the angle of the piston rod (attached to the pedal) is off the axix of the
cylinder, thus cocking the piston and seal and perhaps deforming it.
What do you think of that as an explanation? Can you suggest a possible fix
short of replacing the master cylinder and getting a new clutch put in?
Now the '86: same problem, except that the above diagnosis doesn't explain
why all of the fluid leaked out (by way of the master cylinder, into the
passenger compartment) while I was on vacation for 10 days, during which
the clutch pedal was not depressed or otherwise caused to distort. What
can you suggest here?
Many thanks. Let's hope I don't end up going to Click and Clack on this... | 6 |

If everything I've read is correct, Ford is doing nothing but "re-

And the pictures I've seen indicate they didn't do a very good job
of it.

They changed the lights and slope of the hood, along with the new
grille. Otherwise, it is unchanged.
Interestingly, their lack of wood and lack of a grille was a BIG
design statement... they tried to defy conventional wisdom and carve
their own niche ... unfortunately, sales were only half those of the
LEXUS and hence, they now join the pack. I still wonder if much of
the problem wasn't the slow start from the initial AD campaign.
Personally, I like the Q without the Grille. | 6 |

Do I pay Albany tax or Saratoga tax ? (the difference is a whole $50)

Rich,
First of all you might want to join the VetteNet (vettes@chiller.compaq
.com) during your search/acquisition of the 67. $20k sounds about
right for a wrong engine, condition 3 car. This means that the car may
not have significant investment value but could be an excellent driver
and or hobby car. You will also want to get a copy of the Corvette
Black Book immediately. Don't leave home (to look at Vettes) without it.
Since you are contemplating spending >$20k, you might want to invest a
few hours in reading the "Corvette Buyer's Guide" and purchase Noland
Adams' tape "How to Buy a Corvette." The tape shows you how to check
for damage, etc.. There are many many factors that will affect the
value, road worthiness, and repair expense of your proposed 67. The
list is much too long to go into here. Join the VetteNet where
there are over 100 current Corvette owners (many with 60s vintage
vettes) that are available to help you. The pubs I mentioned above
are available from Mid-America Designs (800) 637-5533 and several
other Corvette parts sources. Good luck!!! | 6 |

I'm not sure how far standardisation went, but on two of my bikes (the

Oh horse puckey. Without their cop partner in attendance, they are less likely
to be controllable *without* the use of force which would kill the dog.
O.k. so you've disabled the dog's mouth, and given up use of your arm to do
so. How `bout them front and read paws, and the fact that to plug up that
mouth you've given the dog the advantage of balance...
Have you ever tried to snap leg or crush the skull of a dog without use of
hardened instruments such as a baseball bat? Without the use of both arms and
full cooperation of the beastie involved, it's not *that* easy. Oh, but wait,
you've got your arm shoved in the dogs mouth. You lose....

On the subject of the upcoming new Mustang:
The car magazines have printed a lot of information about the new Mustang
and the consensus about what to believe in my "car circle" is that the
suspension pieces and tuning will be almost identical to the current
Cobra, but on a stiffer body structure which will improve its behavior.
After the MN12 (Thunderbird) cost and weight debacle, Ford decided
independent rear suspension with rear wheel drive won't be tried again in
a volume car.
The current 4.9l V-8 will soldier on for about two years. A version of
the 32 valve modular V-8 in the Mark VIII could be offered then. Ford
is spending big money tooling up for 2.5l and 3.5l V-6 engines which will
power most of their cars in the immediate future, and therefore probably
do not consider volume production of 300 hp V-8 engines a priority.
Undisguised, the car looks OK, but not nearly as exciting as the new
Camaro/Firebird, IMO.
I suspect Ford will produce their car with higher quality than GM will
achieve with the Camaro/ Firebird. The way GM loses money, the temptation
to "just get them out the door" for the sake of positive cash flow will be
great once demand really takes off. | 6 |

Having driven both, and having owned an SC300 for 14 months now, all I can
say is "it depends". They're both great cars. In fact, my wife and I
are saving our pennies so we can get her the 300ZX convertible in a year.
The 300ZX handles like a dream, while the SC300 rides like a dream.
Fit and finish on both are excellent, but the Lexus gets the nod in
customer satisfaction. They're both very attractive, and hideously
expensive. The resale value of the SC is better than the ZX. The
300ZX isn't available with traction control, which makes it a handful
on slippery surfaces. | 6 |

Ford aimed for 75% US content when they designed the new Probe. In actual
practice it came out to 77% US content. If my '89 is any example the 23%
that is imported may be the engine and brakes, at least the '89 had
Missybitchy brakes.

light conditions. Consequently their colour vision is almost non-existant. I

"traction control" as far as the optional feature that one buys with
cars is not the same thing at all as a torque sensing differential.
a torque sensing differential is a type of LSD, but not all LSD's
are torque sensing. viscous coupled differentials (as opposed to
viscous couplings) are rotational sensing, not torque sensing.
for that matter, so are "traction control" systems that use ABS
sensors and pulse braking.
then there are the older posi-tracs and whatever which i am not
familiar with the workings.

The clutch on my '92 Honda Civic EX-V (EX in the U.S.) does this too.
It's annoying. Now that I think about, it _is_ worse when the humidity is

a "self-adjusting hydraulic design". Yeah, right.

which flat 4 engines have I4 style cranks?
i am 99.99% sure that subaru (and porsche) use the boxer configuration
and not the inline 4 crank that you analyzed and compared. would you
care to re-evaluate the other case of a flat four? i think that this
configuration is perfectly balanced as far as primary, secondary
forces and couples are concerned. i have an article in front of me
that says so.
the flat four is also shorter than an inline 4, so even if it is mounted
longitudinally it will not take up lots of length.. and a longitudinal
placement is easier for a 4 wheel drive drivetrain.
i think that subaru's ads hold water. in practice, their flat fours
are noticeably smoother than inline 4s and completely buzz free,
though some may not like its peculiar note. but as alfa has shown, a
boxer four can produce a spine tingling scream that only the likes of
recent hondas can approach.

534 | Hello everyone,
I have an insurance question.
Allstate insurance
SITUATION: Person wrecks car. Car is drivable to dealer. Person
reports accident (no other cars involved). Driver estimates damage cost
exceedes cost of car. Insurance people claim car is "totalled" because of
exceeding repair costs.
Person says "WWHHHAATTTT!!!! But I drove the car here!" and takes it to
another place. Other place estimates 2,101.00 in damage. 2,000 less than the
dealer.
One more hitch... The car is registered in Florida but the accident occurred
in Pennsyvania.
QUESTION: Should the insurance recognize and pay for the damages of this,
now fixable, car even though they prematurly declared totalled?
Please respond via E-Mail if you think you know anything about this sort of
thing.

4,715 | I purchased a used 1988 Nissan 300ZX (non-turbo) last year. I had a
question on gear/rpm ratios. Right now in 5th @65mph I'm at
2600-2700 rpms. @70mph I'm at about 2900rpms. Is this about the
norm? I'm an auto neophyte so I'm just wondering if these are
the proper ranges? Somehow the rpm figures seem high. A friend of mine
just told me he can hit 60mph in 3rd on his 88 Chevy Beretta (2.8l V6.)
Also, anyone know the top speed attainable (@redline???) for this model Z?
(Not that I would try it but it would be an interesting factoid. :)
Thanx!

The accelerating from a stop shouldn't be "doggy" because of the light
weight of the car.
Don't pull the topto make it reach the snaps, I pulled a couple out of
the top doing that. Replacing the spanps usually doesn't work. Let it
sit in th e sun, open on the car for a couple hours, the try, GENTLY!!!!
I continually blew up the #4 connecting rod bearing, be sure your not
buring too much oil.
Don't expect too much of a smooth ride. The lever arm shocks hold the
road, and your bladder. The are ultra-expensive. Supposedly the can be

I had to rebuid boththe brake and clutch master cylinder, in addition to
the clutch slave. This work made a world of changes.
Be sure the carb is the original type replacement. My 1970 had dual

Ask if the clutch has ever been replaced. To replace the engine and

A dealer will make money off you in three ways, if you let him:
1) New car markup over his cost (remember his hold-back),
2) Arranging financing through the dealership, and
3) Screwing you on the trade.
Keep the deal with the dealer simple by eliminating 2 & 3. Buying a car at
"dealer's cost" is meaningless if he makes $1000 on the trade and/or gets a
kickback from the bank.
Blue book (you need to know if you're talking average wholesale or average
retail) is a good guide to value for a car. If you are selling it yourself,
try to get average retail, and chances are you'll have done ok.
Be careful selling to acquaintances if you ever want them to become friends. | 6 |

Sigh. That's music to my ears, after all the complaining Lois did
about the seat on my BMW...
I've found that the phrase "sack of potatoes" works pretty well in
describing to a passenger how s/he should act.
On a long ride with my ex-girlfriend Nancy, I would notice her
drifting off every so often (we were droning down highway 101 to LA).
I probably wouldn't have been aware of this if she hadn't been in the
habit of squeezing my butt with her knees to hold on. Good advice.

In many of our cities, there are traffic signals every 100 feet (unsynchronised,
of course (well here in Ottawa anyway)) and the roads are so congested that
shifting manually is a real pain in the left foot. Also, most Canadians are
too stupid to learn how to shift manually (gee, I gotta co-ordinate my two
feet on the clutch, brake _and_ accelerator, and I gotta steer, shift _and_
operate the signals (optional) and radio with my two hands... duh... it
can't be done). Also, most North American made cars come with the automatic
as standard equipment, so why bother with a manual when the car can shift
for you for no addition money.

They bein' themfolk who tend to compose fair piece of the population;
bein the ones that regard bikers as a loud, irresponsible, irreverent,
reprobate rabble.
Sure you didn't rape and pillage-- It's a relief to know that you were
such gentlemen-- but because you were not completely out-of-hand you
justify your lesser indescretions? Some pretty distorted thinking, I
should say.
Oh-- I'm sorry, I just noticed that you left mucho bucks (as in MONEY)...
Nevermind my criticism, I was out of line. I forgot that when one leaves
mucho bucks (as in MONEY) their behavior is permissable, perhaps even
justified.
Keep in mind that "themfolks" are the ones that could give a %$#@! when
a biker gets killed, when *their* elected officials institute further
draconian legislation (helmet laws, gun controls, etc.), the ones that don't
respect our rights on the roads because we do not respect theirs all "the
rest of the time..."
Need I continue?
So continue to wear your stigma as a badge, but the next time you are
whining about "them" and the effect of their values on yours, remember
that it was probably the behavior of self-righteous wusses like myself
that kept "them" at bay for this long.

I'll pick up that PM and have a look -- maybe the picture in there is not
the actual car, but a prototype?
I saw the Mach III and was not all that impressed -- it looked WAY too
Japanese for me... the tear drop headlights reminded me of a Nissan NX...
Glad I didn't hold out for the '94 and bought a '93. Maybe they'll work on
the design a little bit, listen to consumers and come out with nice-looking
'95 or '96. It always takes a while to work out the kinks in a new design,
e.g. the F-body Camaro/Firebirds (btw, the new Camaros look like shit too).

[Much discussion about economics of safety deleted]
This is a very simplistic view of safety. Assuming that you are in a collision
(less likely with a more agile smaller car), then the important factor
is how well does the car sacrifice itself to save you. This is why a thousand
pound F1 car can hit a wall at 200 and the driver walks out and why
everybody dies when a Suburban hits a wall at 35 (as I recall for the last
generation Suburban HIC numbers).
As an aside, just what is the point of an airbag? It seems to me that
seatbelts with pretensioners (Audi et al), or a good tight 5 point belt
will prevent you every moving far enough to hit the airbag. You might be
saved from some flyign glass? Or is an airbag just a lowest common denominator
safety device that is of some use in a head on collision when you are
wearing no seat belt? | 6 |

No, it is the stock setup. Someone really ought to put an end
to the confusion regarding BMW's chain drive boxers. Didn't
someone post the FAQ on this some time ago? In essence, it
describes the problem BMW is having with their decision to
settle down to a shaft drive as a standard. They vacilate
and persist in reintroducing the chain drive in various
models. (R/C) Gosh. Well, on with the crusade! | 6 |

There might be a wee problem with this. If you use both filaments at the

Possibly enough to shorten it's life span. My Honda CRX cage [a cage that
really wanted to be a bike] had wimpy stock lights. So we used to run
around with both beams on. Made a mucho big difference - until both low
beam filaments died nearly simultaneously! This was two weeks after
finding out how nice it was to use both beams. I replaced the lights with
quartz-halogen lights and that ended the problem. | 6 |

1,815 | Review of 1989 Ford Taurus SHO -- By Gene Kim
=============================================
Background:
Last week, I bought a 1989 Ford Taurus SHO, moving up from driving
a 1987 Toyota Celica ST and a 1975 Oldsmobile Cutlass. I have been
interested in buying a SHO for about five months and have been combing
the classifieds in Denver and Chicago every week. I bought a
remarkably clean maroon/red SHO with 92K miles on it for $6800.
As far as I can tell, this is about $2000 under Blue Book and I still
have another 8000 miles before the Extended Service Plan runs out.
As one should with any pre-1991 SHOs, I made sure that the car was
already refit with the upgraded clutch and pressure plate, as well as
having been recalled for upgraded rotors and seatbelt attachments.
However, my SHO does not have the newer rod shifter -- I understand I
can get this for $230 from any Ford service center. In addition, the
car received the full tune-up at 60K miles, receiving new platinum
plugs and valve adjustment.
For a car with 92K miles on it, the car was virtually immaculate.
The clearcoat paint job was devoid of any large chips or dents,
although the front air-dam/molding was covered with lots of small
scratches -- not surprising since most of the miles were spent on the
highway.
Having driven a smaller two-door coupe for so long, I was a bit
concerned about whether I could get used to driving a larger car. To
my surprise, the size of the car doesn't bother me at all -- it seems
just as nimble as my Celica! (No comparisons with my Oldsmobile. :-)
Visibility from the driver's seat is excellent, helped mostly by of
the small the quarter-windows, aft of the back-seat door windows and
in front of the C-pillar and rear window. Parallel parking is a bit
more difficult, but other than that, I love the size.
In fact, I'm starting to appreciate the large trunk as I pack up
for a 14-hour drive to Washington, DC for the summer. More on the
ride later in this review.
Engine:
As with anyone even slightly interested in SHOs, I was very
interested in the 24-valve 3.0L Yamaha "Shogun" engine. I was not
disappointed. Base performance of the engine under 4000 rpms is
good. You can even do reasonable launches from second gear, although
I don't make a practice of this. The engine revs smoothly and eagerly
-- tooling around town does not require many shifts. This is good
since the shifter is definitely one of the weakest points of the car.
(More on this later.)
While the performance of the engine under 4000 rpms may be
unremarkable, it undergoes a Jekyll/Hyde transformation once you hit
higher revs. At 4500 rpms, a butterfly valve opens and you can
literally hear and feel the geometry of the engine changing as twelve
more valves open up. The engine soars to its 7000 rpm redline, and
you are treated to, in my opinion, the sweetest sounding V6 around.
The engine inexplicably sounds OVERJOYED to be at 6500 rpm!
I've noticed that when I drive around town, I constantly watch the
tach to see how far below 4000 rpm I am. To go from 2000 rpm to 4000,
you may have to punch the accelerator -- while torque is more than
adequate, it doesn't come fully online until those other 12 valves
are used.
Transmission:
When _Car and Driver_ first reviewed the car in 1988, they
marvelled at how Ford had put such a wimpy clutch and balky shifter
into the car. I remember driving a friend's parent's SHO in 1990, and
remember thinking about whether I had the leg strength to drive the
car in traffic -- the clutch was that stiff. That was back then.
The entire clutch assembly on my SHO has been replaced under a
Ford recall in 1991. The clutch on the SHO feels no stiffer than the
one on my Toyota Celica. In fact, the friction point seems a bit
larger and more forgiving.
When playing with the shifter with the car parked, the shifter
felt very reasonable. The 1-2 and 3-4 gates were where you'd expect
it to be, and the shifting action was smooth. On the road, it's
much the same -- but you have to shift SLOWLY! Make no mistake, it's
a clumsy shifter.
When hurrying shifts, like when I was initially trying to impress
friends, I consistently miss the 1-2 shift, often grope clumsily for
the 2-3 shift, and sometimes even muff the 3-4 shift. I find this
pretty amazing in a car like this.
It also took me several days to realize that you get the smoothest
shifts when you take your time. Seems obvious, but compared to my
Toyota and my friend's Honda, this seems atrocious and clumsy.
Someone on rec.autos noted that CRXs should blow SHOs off-the-line
because of the incredibly clumsy shifter.
I now shift much more sedately, and the shifter seems more
reasonable. When you play within these bounds, the shifter works
smoothly with no surprises. I don't know whether the rod shifter
upgrade would help at all.
Along these same lines, I initially had trouble shifting gears
smoothly. Again, slowing down the shifts and taking more care to
match revs when letting out the clutch helped immensely. This took
several days for me to get the hang of. (I think some of my problems
were because I've never had a car with enough power to balk at bad
shifts in higher gears.)
Occasionally, I have trouble shifting into reverse. The shifter
refuses to enter the gate, and I often grind the synchros trying to
get it into gear. I'll be watching this carefully in the next couple
of months.
A quirk: When I upshift and the engine drops back to 1000-2500
rpm, I hear a whirring and then a grinding noise coming from the the
engine compartment. Not terribly loud, but the passenger can
definitely hear it. I asked about it when I was looking at the car,
as do all my passengers. Apparently, this is a definitely a "SHO
sound" and is the gearbox -- apparently called "gear rollover".
Replies to my queries on rec.autos are at the end of this review.
Exterior:
As I mentioned before, I am astounded by how well the body of this
SHO has stood up. Paint chipping on the front bumper and grille are
virtually non-existent. Looking at how older Tauri sometimes
don't age so gracefully, I wonder what the guys at Ford did
differently to the SHO bodies.
The body, in my opinion, is extremely attractive with matching
color body moldings than the stock Tauri. For some odd reason, the
SHO seems different enough from vanilla Tauri to get stares at
stoplights -- of course, this could be my overactive imagination.
:-) SHOs get fog lights, a more open grille, a completely
monochromatic exterior, and a deeper ground skirt in the back with
"SHO" stenciled in relief. I've seen a couple SHOs whose owners have
colored these in with florescent colors or in black. Yuck.
I don't think the car is flashy. I like it that way. I feel
almost anonymous with all those Tauri out there, but different and
distinctive enough to those of us who care. :-)
Interior:
The interior is what really makes me feel like I don't deserve the
car. The seats are grey leather, the steering wheel and shifter are
covered with black leather, and the entire instrument panel is done in
a black/grey/metallic scheme.
The instrumentation is stock Taurus, except for the 140 mph speedo
and 8000 rpm tach. You get a center console with two cupholders, a
large compartment under the radio (great for a CD player), an armrest
that contains yet another compartment, three appropriately sized coin
holders for tollways (I think), and a compartment for holding
cassette tapes. There's map-holders in the doors, and an oddly small
glove compartment.
I spilled a whole can of Coke in the cupholder and was delighted
to find that the entire rubber holder can be removed and washed in a
sink. Hey, I'm really impressed with the ergonomics and
thoughtfulness that went into its design. And it's a 1989, before the
interior was upgraded!
The backseat is bigger than any car I've had. Why do they need so
much space? :-) (No smart-ass comments, please. :-)
The driver and passenger seat have lumbar and side bolsters. From
what I hear, it's not uncommon for the side bolsters to show wear.
Mine is no exception. The left side bolster on the driver's has
cracked and I'm not convinced the right bolster is inflating all the
way.
A big surprise for me: I forgot that SHOs don't have a normal
hand parking brake. Instead, they have the regular parking brake that
you press with your left foot. Too bad. Again, I'm getting used to
it, but it seems a bit anachronistic to me.
Ride:
The suspension is nice and stiff. Too stiff? It's stiffer than
any car I've had. A friend's new 1993 Toyota Celica ST seems tauter
and is still able to soak up bumps better. The SHO seems stiffer with
less ability to soak up bumps. Driving over railroad tracks is a
noisy and jarring affair. On the other hand, taking turns feels
wonderful because the body is so rigid and doesn't flex at all -- I
listened for that before I bought the car.
On the highway, the ride is great. When I drove the car from
Chicago back to Purdue, I had trouble keeping under 85 mph, let alone
from trying to see what 100 mph really feels like. It's a relatively
quiet ride, but the sunroof rattles. I've tried to find out what
exactly makes all the noise up there, but it seems to be the window
that rests on the rails. No easy way to get rid of it, I think.
Over the past three days, I've oscillated between thinking the
suspension is wonderful and perfect and thinking that the ride is way
too rough. (Not for me, mind you. But I wonder whether I would
advise my dad to buy one for himself.) But, I've discovered, as with
the shifter, if you take your time with shifts, you'll have no reason
to complain. Let me explain...
The ride is worst when turning and applying lots of power to the
wheels. I feel the wheels scrabbling for traction and torque steer
making the car skitter left and right. After I understood this, I
avoid the limits of traction -- and I'm a happy camper again.
It's not body rigidity, but the composure of the car.
As if matching the suspension, the steering feel is quite heavy.
My first impression of driving my SHO was how hard you had to turn the
wheel at highway speeds. It tracks straight as an arrow, but when
driving around a parking lot, the high-effort steering didn't seem so
useful. However, it's reasonable, but it doesn't communicate the road
to the driver as well as a 1993 Ford Probe GT. IMHO, it's much better
than the steering on my Celica ST.
I wonder how bad this car is during winter?
Miscellaneous notes:
GRIPES:
The rattles from the sunroof is intermittent -- some days it rattles
loudly, other days I look up wondering where all the noise went.
Activating the sunroof is sometimes very noisy -- loud squealing as
it retracts on its rails. I wonder if there is a quick fix for this.
Again, other days it completely disappears. (Function of humidity?)
Once I made the connection between the sometimes awful feeling suspension
and torque steer, I've never complained about ride.
I wish the seats had more support under the thighs. Also, I wish the
side bolsters would close more tightly.
I hear that tires for this car can get really expensive. I
currently have Goodyear GT+4s that cost the previous owner $500
for four.
I used to hate the Ford stereo systems -- whose idea was it
to use a volume *paddle*? Now, to my amazement, I don't
really mind... and sometimes think it's an okay idea!!!
Pretty ridiculous, though.
Getting up to 4000 rpm sometimes seems to be a chore. But,
this is no big deal. There is more than enough torque
down low.
I often goof up the shifting when driving with friends. It
took me a couple of days before I could really shift
smoothly from 2nd to 3rd gear. (Hard to believe, isn't it?)
My car has almost 93,000 miles on it. My parents noted that
it is almost impossible to find a low-mileage SHO.
Astute observation, IMHO. I wonder how long I can make
my SHO last -- I just bought a book titled "Drive It Forever"
for tips in this department. :-)
The goofy parking brake pedal still throws me for a loop. I once
parked the car in gear, and then accidentally let out the clutch
after I started it. The car jolted forward, and bounced off
the car in front of me -- no paint damage at all, but starting the car
is a whole new ritual for me with that fangled pedal! Also, I began
to wonder how strong that brake really is. (Today, I backed out of
parking spot today and started to drive away before I noticed
the glowing brake light. Oops.)
The driver's power window creaks when closed all the way. The same
thing happens in my parents 1989 Mercury Sable. Oddly, all the
other windows work smoothly.
LIKES:
I'm liking the interior amenities more and more each day. The
cupholders are great.
I didn't expect to use the keyless entry buttons so much, but
it really is handy. You can lock all the doors by
pressing the 7/8 and 9/10 buttons together! Neat! And
you can never lock yourself out of the car.
I really feel like I don't deserve this car. I really can't
believe that I could afford it. I got this car ten years
ahead of schedule. :-)
I love this car so much that I've been telling my parents to
look into buying one. I love this car so much that I
wrote this 13K file -- I meant to write a couple of lines
and ended up with this.
If there were a J.D. Powers Survey for used car owners, I would have
an opportunity to express my incredible satisfaction of owning this
car. I don't like thinking about getting another car, but at this
point in time, I'm sure I'd buy another SHO. For under $7000, you
can't beat it. (Next time with an airbag and ABS, though.)
Insurance-wise, this car is also a big win. I pay the same premiums
as on my 1987 Toyota Celica -- despite that it has nearly twice
the horsepower.
Other Odds and Ends:
Much to my amazement, there is no SHO mailing list anywhere.
Maybe because the _SHO Registry_ publication has filled this void. I
haven't joined yet, but I've noticed that queries about SHOs still
appear on rec.autos about once a month. Owners of SHOs are always
quick to respond, and are very vocal fans of the cars. (Maybe some
of the most vocal on rec.autos. :-)
I've put together the responses to my questions about the cars, as
well as other posts with useful information on these cars. I'll be
posting this in the form of a FAQ soon.
If anyone is interested in starting a mailing list, please speak up!
I don't know if I have the resources here at Purdue to start one, but
maybe someone out there does.

Geico. Not only do they supply radar guns to the police they also want
to make radar detectors illegal. They also ask if you have a detector
(probably to put you in a high risk group or just refuse to insure you).
I know a few people who were droped by geico due to an accident that

Isn't that one of those self-evident things like, "how do you decide that
you're out of gas"?
I have never experienced wind so severe it physically precluded operation
of a motorcycle. It's more a matter of deciding whether the aggravation
is more trouble than it's worth. This of course, depends entirely on your
own particular circumstances and personal disposition.

My Ol'lady taps me on the shoulder to let me know she is
uncomfortable. I, in turn, am prepared for her to move about on the
back of the bike.
We had 1 bad crash (nail in rear tire on left hand sweeper at crest
of hill on pavement/pea-gravel road) and her actions helped lessen
the severity of it. As we were crashing, she stayed upright in the
saddle with her feet on the pegs and her hands about my waist. I was
able to get the bike slowed down 10-15mph before we were high-sided.
She got off with a fair case of road rash and I had to have the doc
remove a lot of rocks from my knee. Had she panicked we would have
probably crashed at greater speed causing greater injury.
BTW, as soon at the tire went flat, we went into VIOLENT tank-
slappers. This is what she rode out in a "normal" riding posture!
