    good ol' redgreen show.....

    funny thing with this is there's a show that's on Netflix.... garage wars? that was a competition between different shops that had them make different unique cars.... one episode was to make a push/pull car that then could spilit apart and drive on their own.... one of the teams picked two Taurus to do it with

    So all you need now is another taurus...

    If you knew how hard it is to find a Taurus SHO you would know why he wants that price for it, a SHO engine trans combo with the harness to the right person is probably worth what he is asking. My only question is why cut it in half unless the back half was totaled any he was hoping to find another one that had a good back half.

    I have no idea why though, I mean SHO does stand for "Slow Heavy and Overrated"
