goblues38 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I walked up and hit the remote start. They asked "is this your car" and were pointing at the wheels. I said "yes" the one guy starts commenting..."man, you have a bad ass car, twin turbo v6 right" "this thing hauls ass from what I have read" ..... i find it pretty cool that the youths of today could get ""geeked up"" over a ford. usually its some EVO, STI, or BMW. I guess Ford has come a long way in the past 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 4DRHTRD Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 People usually laugh when I first get to the drag strip who haven't seen me run before and then come running over in the pits once I've made a pass. The EB family of vehicles is awesome! I'd love to rent an Explorer Sport and then tune it real fast with 100 octane and see what it would do at the track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSHO Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 "Came out of the gas station to find 2 20 year old guys drooling over my car". That's what microfiber is for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopolZ Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I really wish my SHO will remain anonymous. That's why I want to totally debadge it. Owning one attention whore is enough, I really do not need 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I have to admit, I've been surprised by the guys that have noticed the SHO, several of them have been guys older then I and when talking to them, it seems that they all owned one of the earlier generation SHO's so that really spiked their interest in our cars. It seems for the most part they were all happy with their older SHO's and I got the feeling that they would have loved to try the new one.

Paulford8 Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Most around here dont know what it is, but car guys young and old who read a lot know. I have had many come up to me. One guys said "is this one Carl Edwards drives in the commercial?" It is a great car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssho Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I still get questions and just last week had someone yell from the next car over, while in traffic, that he loved my car. A few weeks earlier my wife came home after a run to the grocery store telling a story of a guy and his wife talking to her at a stoplight about how great the car looked. I also frequently get asked if my car is 'brand new', when I tell them it's two years old, they are shocked.

tss Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 The fact that the car can be so stylish , along with it's imposing size, gets a lot of attention by itself. Add in folks who have knowledge of what lies under the hood, and then they are really interested in the car. The SHO definitely gets more attention than my MKS.

MTaurusSHO Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Yea my wife drives the SHO on a daily, and she always comes home from work with stories about people asking her questions when she's filling up, or at a parking lot. I think a few even tried to race her on the freeway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblues38 Posted October 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I think a few even tried to race her on the freeway. That's why i love my wife. She has no problem giving them a run up to 90 or so if prodded. She yells at me because I dont have the 90mph limiter installed in my brain.
