dcmoose Posted July 10, 2004 Report Posted July 10, 2004 at three in the morning i was coming home last night, i made the left into my devlopment, and my car just stop turning and started screeching and then the passenger side droped down and the car stoped. I got out of the car only to find out that the front right tire fell off and was rolling down a bigg ass hill. i was so pist. I had to run after in and then pull it out of the woods which was covered in sticker bushes. I carried the tire up the hill, got back to my car and seen that ALL FIVE STUDS we ripped off completly. At this point i am 250 ft from my house and i was so close but yet so far so i ran home and grabed the floor jack and a sissor jack. I finally got the floor jack under the control arm. Then i pushed the car, while my brother guided the floor jack. We got it over to the side of my street. I finally got done fixing it a little while ago with my buddy. And now the front wheel bearings are shot, and i am sure that the alignment has to be off too. I only drove the car up the street to my house, becasue it is a death trap and i will never drive it again. Which is sad becasue it is my first car, and it has so much personal value to me. Plus it was unique. Now i have to drive one of the other cars to work and then they get all dirty and thats gonna piss me off. Its like the gift that keeps on giving, but its not a gift. Quote

sredish Posted July 11, 2004 Report Posted July 11, 2004 hey you got ne pics of tha show ppost em... and how much u want for it if ur selling it There in Images, just can't remember for sure which thread, but I think his "Toys" thread. Quote
dcmoose Posted July 11, 2004 Author Report Posted July 11, 2004 here is a pic...front right fender and front bumper are a little fucked up but can be fixed. the car definitly is going soon...problly for about 700 bucks or BO. The car has been in a accident in the front, a fire under the hood, tires blown out, and much more. Its had its fair share of abuse. As for the GM guys. I have owned my fair share of Chevys. I like them too. In fact i want to buy a S10. I am a american man so i drive american, thats the way I figure it. We shouldn't be saying Ford is better or Dodge, or Chevy. We should be saying american is better. Quote
tree shooter Posted July 11, 2004 Report Posted July 11, 2004 well actually chevy is made in canada and dodge is made in mexico. ford and toyota are the only true american made cars. i love my tacoma, i put that thing though hell and it just keeps goin. Quote
Otis Posted July 11, 2004 Report Posted July 11, 2004 I remember the SHO from way back when, but what made it different, other taurus'? Did it have a 5.0 ltr? Quote

sredish Posted July 11, 2004 Report Posted July 11, 2004 ford and toyota are the only true american made cars. i love my tacoma, i put that thing though hell and it just keeps goin. there are a lot of parts from Ford that are made in Mexico. In fact, some joke that the only American influence to the SuperDuty is the assembly, a lot of the stuff is built in Mexico then shipped by train to USofA and assembled. Don't believe me, the first and easiest place to see this is on the leaf springs. They should have a Made in Mexico stamp. I bet 75% of the parts are made there for the good ol' Super Duty. Quote
Motoman991 Posted July 11, 2004 Report Posted July 11, 2004 my family has a sho, its a 96, thats when the v8's were put in them. its a pretty fast car for being a 4 door, i have kicked the shit out of hondas in it with no problem Quote
dcmoose Posted July 11, 2004 Author Report Posted July 11, 2004 the sho has a 3.0ltr DOHC. The motor was made by yamaha actually. they made it for a two seater, but it never got built and ford already ordered the motors. So they shoved it into tauras and put a five speed in it. Quick car. Yes i am trying to sell it, but i can't sell this car without telling all becasue i would feel terrible. This car is in pretty bad shape but, if its fixed right it could be a nice car. car runs great, everything is just falling apart around it. Quote
Motoman991 Posted July 11, 2004 Report Posted July 11, 2004 the sho's had 3.0 dohc v6, 3.2 dohc v6, and a 3.4 v8 dohc Quote
dcmoose Posted July 11, 2004 Author Report Posted July 11, 2004 from what i understand the 3.2s were only in the autos...I think somthing to do with getting the autos a little more pep on the low end...But both motors made 220hp. Quote
