So, low and behold, I am in & out of the house this morning, running various errands, and I come home to a front porch containing a few brown boxes.

Scrambling, I think to myself "Uh oh, what the hell did I order? What did I forget about that was scheduled to arrive today? Poop, I'm glad Wife's not home, got make quick of this".

So, I scan the shipper info, and it displays "Ford Motor Co."...... still scratching my head at this point :hmmm:

I proceed to bring the boxes inside, open them, and WOW!  :hypo:

Much to my surprise, multiple Ford Taurus SHO promotional items are enclosed.

I received the following:

1 Large, Black/White Taurus SHO Umbrella
1 Large, Black Taurus SHO Duffel/Gear Bag
1 6K White LED Taurus SHO Flashlight
1 Clear/Blue Taurus SHO Water Bottle
1 Silver/Carbon Fiber Taurus SHO Coffee Mug
1 Large White T-Shirt with Taurus SHO Logo Imprinted in Black on Front & Reverse.


How freak'n cool is that I ask?  :bow:

Now I suspect who from FMC Corporate may have sent these items to me, but I'm not 100% sure.

Since I think they may read these boards, as well as a few others, I wanted to put out there on the world wide web, that a BIG :thankyou: is in order, and that I am very appreciative of this token of gratitude.

I will use/display each item proudly.

Now, I do recall having seen these items at the Nat'l SHO Convention back in 2012, as a few of these, most notably the umbrella, were brought there to use at the auction for charity.

I really, really wanted that damn umbrella. Especially since it was black/white and went directly with the them of my car. I just didn't have enough coin on hand to outbid the highest bidder.

No worries I thought, I'll just go online, search for it, and buy one outright. Fail.

I've been trying ever since to get a hold of these items, and the umbrella, to no avail.

Can't find them anywhere. I even visited a few of the Mfg'ers websites and a whole lot of nothing.

So once again, I find myself truly truly blessed, and very very thankful for this surprise gift.

Here's a few pics:














 
Likewise, While I'm on the subject of thanking people......

I need to also put out there a big 'ol huge :thankyou: to fellow member mjhpadi for having this item below made for me:



It's a humungo sized, very soft, blanket/throw that was made with an image he selected of my SHO.

Very cool! :ok:

Thanks a bunch Mark. I am still in awe that you took the time to not only have this made, but also to have had sent it my way.

Words cannot express my thanks pal! :bow:
 
Mike, I'll trade you my very nice Coke umbrella for the SHO one. But very cool that they sent all the items, hopefully they sent you a website where we can order them.
 
I assure each of you, that I have searched the ends of the internet for months upon months, desperately looking for the items I received today....

All to no avail.

I gave up essentially. Got tired of coming up empty handed every which way I turned.

I think these items are for promotional use only, and are not available for commercial sale in any way.

Mike:
You & your car deserve all attention you are getting & cool gifts. If I went to a car show & saw your car I'd drive away with my tail between my legs. Like I said in my post on Ford's site "The Baddest of the Bad".

Thanks once again guys. Truly appreciated.

The thing that amazes me, is that I still have SO MUCH MORE planned for my SHO, that I myself only think she's only partially complete at this point.

I just really love this car & all of the friendships, partnerships, and business relations that have sprung forth from having done all that I have thus far.

Continued good times ahead.

Not only you get the car on FB but you also get goodies from FoMoCo... Quick! pick some numbers for the powerball lottery... :bow:

Congrats!...

I like the water bottle and t-shirts
 
Congrats Mike! I wasn't even aware Ford had promotional Taurus SHO stuff, but apparently its limited to probably the factory. I know our plant has stuff they give away that probably can't be gotten any where else.
 
I would love to have the SHO shirt in black with a white outline. I looked everywhere for recent SHO shirts to no avail.
 
I would imagine someone on this site has a hook up to get some SHO shirts made up in a group buy scenario...and I would be in if this every happened!
