Scott Weldon's Wreck

New 8/15/06

We bash Ford often enough over the cam issue, but there is a great deal to like about the SHO, another V8SHO gives its life to keep loved ones unharmed. And this is not the first or second time SHO owners walked away from a horrific crash.

V8 SHO, First in War, First in Peace; we will miss you old friend.

Buford

Hello guys…

I just wanted to say thank you for all the info you guys have given over the years. I have not been an active member of the v8sho list as some people would prefer but I have used a lot of the information that has gone back and forth over the past several years. My 98 SHO was welded back a few years ago by Mr. K out in Spencer, MA…and I appreciate all the work he did for me to keep my car going. I bought my car back in 2001 on one of our country’s most infamous Days…September 11th. Well this past Sunday it gave its life to protect my family and did a good job. I will be Unsubscribing from the group as well seeing how I do not and will not ever see my favorite car again. Once again thank you for all your help…here are some pictures of my car after a person cut my wife off taking a left in front of her at the last second and it was just about a head on collision with a 2006 Malibu which was in worse shape than this. One of the big differences was that my car caught on FIRE!!!

My wife and daughter are fine…my daughter was in the back seat and had her seatbelt on and it held up perfectly and gave her a bruise on her neck. My wife is sore from the air bag in the face and her knee hit the dash and her seatbelt bruised her pretty good…but all in all it could have been a lot worse for them.

Thank you,

Scott Weldon

Don't be a stranger Scott, need help finding another V8SHO?

Buford

Hey Scott - If I were You, I'd go out and get ANOTHER ONE. I Hear they are cheap now due to some phony engine problem.

Nothing I'd rather My Family be in when Fate turns Crummy.

Scott,

So very sorry about your SHO. So very glad and thankful your family is OK. I've heard several stories about how these wonderful cars have held up enough to save people's lives.

Warm regards, Estella

Damn! Thank God everyone is OK after that.

Looks like the FSTB held up!

glad they were OK after that....could have been much worse...

Newmy

Amen to that.

The safety of this vehicle has been proven over and over, and that's the one thing I'll be sad to see go when I retire this ride. Good news is I am going to have physics on my side with the next ride.

JMP

Scott, glad to here they survived okay. But I would reconsider putting them in something less. I feel honored as should Eric that after showing my usually skeptical and always argumentative, at least with me or most other carbon based life forms ex-wife a picture of Eric's Garage Queen post-bridge pillar, she went right out and got her own Taurus. Now my youngest son owns a '98, which considering his driving habits (chip off the old block) and his impending relocation tomorrow to Knoxville to further his education I can rest easier knowing he'll be in one.

Must have been pretty hot under there, where did the intake and runners go?

Carter Fuji

They are there. Just look behind the EGR Valve.

Eric

Looks like a tranny fluid fire maybe.

Paul

Looks like the lower half of the runners are missing though.
