New Taurus SHO. The majority of my life I have been a Honda/Acura man. But I went to an auto show and gazed upon the new SHO. I have to admit that car is nice; expensive, but nice. In a short time since it was introduced, there have been many high-HP kits that have showed up. Couple a 465HP kit with three pedals,…

@madtube: Sorry about the low quality.

My father has one of these. His sports the L-82 engine, 4-speed manual, and only 20K original miles.

So, as a former resident of the Mountain State, where are you located, Diandra? I am just curious because of the massive increase in mining for natural gas and other resources in my former neck of the woods in WV.

The sad thing is, I may have to agree with you Matt. One of my best friends lists the IROC-Z as his Eleanor. As far as the demograph, you hit the nail right on the head.

When I saw the picture for this article, I did a double take. I knew that pic from somewhere. As I read, it was mentioned about an issue of Discover from the 80's. I went downstairs and checked my archives and found the exact issue. I kept it all these years for another article in the issue. But that pic took me…

As of this article, I have built now 10 computers. They have been across the board as far as all the options. The lowest would be the 6 year old Dell I re-purposed as a Ubuntu Linux media center that my sister uses in the kitchen to stream Pandora, watch Hulu, look up recipes, and various other things.

@therealmusashi: Yeah, the whole situation really chapped my arse. In the end, I got my Montezuma's Revenge of sorts. I traded my Cavalier for my Acura TL that we are still driving to this day. Last summer, I bought a manual Accord for my wife. But she became enamored with the TL and it is now her daily driver. …

So my story stretches the limits of today's question, but the implications are no doubt in tune with the QOTD.

@SynthOno: I can totally sympathize with the situation you stated.

Fantastic. I can see it now. The BMW guy parks his car over the cross at the center of 4 parking spaces in true asshat fashion. He then claims his fuel pump caused him to park there.

@SLRSpeedshop: You. Are. Awesome. :)-

@SLRSpeedshop: Or over the cross at the center of 4 spaces like I see here in New Jersey all too often.

Asshat.

Well maybe that is the justification for the raping we get on the toll roads. For me to go to Philly, it costs $10 in tolls. For an hour trip. Glad to see they are keeping their pockets lined.

As a master technician, I am siding with the owner. If he was hooning it, they should pay the price.

So THAT is why the Ancients put Atlantis there. It all makes sense now.

When I read this, my thoughts immediately turned to a movie I remember seeing when I was in my early teens on HBO. The movie was "Moontrap" and it starred Walter Koenig. It was not a high grade movie, but it achieved cult status for me. If you can find it, watch it.

There has one thing that Mark Sheppard has done that I found interesting. His father is W. Morgan Sheppard. You may have seen him as a Vulcan elder in the most recent "Star Trek", the computer program from the first season of "seaQuest", and as the grandfather of Shia LeBeouf's character in the first "Transformers"…
