My name is Don and I live in SW Michigan. I was an army brat until 2 then moved to Downriver Detroit due to divorce. Moved to Garden City, MI (Metro Detroit) for a few years and then out to Kalamazoo MI just before finishing high school in 95.

I have been a car freak since a kid and my grandpa taught me how to drive at 12, 1970's Toyota Jeep standard H. I used to sell cars and so I normally trade up every 2-3 years. Here's the list of what I have owed, it's all over the place:

1982 Mustang v6
1987 Nissan Sentra 4dr
1989 Nissan 240sx se
1994 Pontiac Grand Am GT 2dr
2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT
1987 Nissan Maxima (winter beater)
1997 VW Jetta GL
2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GT (first modded car with SC pulley)
2002 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi (pulley and CAI)
2005 Pontiac Bonneville GXP
2008 Grand Prix GXP (tune, FWI, cat back)
2011 SHO (tune)

Plus countless demos while selling cars.

I do treasury management sales for PNC Bank. Married with a 1 yr old boy and 2 English Bulldogs.  I'm a huge Formula 1 fan and stick to my Italian roots as a Ferrari fan. Maybe one day I'll win big and be able to buy one. I have been on forums since my first modded car and I just love all the great info everybody shares. It's always nice to be able to chat with people driving similar cars. This is a very good forum with great members, I have been on some bad one before.

I look forward to learning more about the EB platform and maybe meeting some of you. I already met up with TSS1 when he got his remote start installed by a friend of mine.

Good to meet ya. Huge F1 fan here also. Sad to hear about Schumacher. I am a Vettel/Red Bull fan.
 
Wow, don't hear of too many F1 fans in the US. I've been a Ferrari fan since I started watching in the late 90's. I'm sad to see Massa go but he just never recovered from the hit in the head. This year will be interesting with all the changes. Not to mention the Alonso, Kimi match. I liked Vettel until he screwed Webber over and then went back and forth on his response to it. He has a ton of talent and will continue to be a big name and break records though.
 
I feel the same way re:Vettel/Weber. But he did screw over Weber, but dang, when you're good as Vettel is, Webber had to have known he was playing second fiddle. I really would have liked seeing Raikonnen go to RBR, but I guess you have to bring up you junior racers also. I do not have good feeling for RBR this year, as two of their guys went to Mercedes, but we shall see.
 
Hey figured id post to this section. I'm Anthony and live in northern Il. I used to work heating and air conditioning but since it was seasonal I decided to go into corporate America. I currently work now and have been working for Zebra tech for 9 years. I am in charge of training our repair facility and other repair facilities across the world on Card printers. I travel quite often for work leaving my wife and my second wife (sho) alone as I am training people in other countries. When I am not working I am going to school pursuing a degree in business administration.
 
Nice to meet you, Anthony!  Trainers, like teachers, are very important to the success of our country :thumb:
 
Thanks for sharing Anthony... great info that helps to make this a better community... One populated by people instead of avatars!
 
I am the proud owner of a Tuxedo Black 2014 SHO non PP. I traded in my MKZ for a real car:-)

The only thing done to it so far is replacing the factory air intake with the one from K&N.

I started playing with cars back when if you wanted a little more HP you tinkered with a few things. If you wanted more you you tinkered with allot of things.

My very first car was a 1972 Mustang Sport Coupe (still am not a fan of Fastbacks) it came with a 302 4v, was swapped out with a Boss 302. When my father the old time drag racer drove the Boss engine he said the car was still to big and heavy for the motor. Shortly after that I received my birthday, Christmas and Graduation present. The Boss 302 was swapped out for a 429 Cobra, my father smiled and said now the engine is bigger than the car, be careful.

Now so many years later all I need do is tinker a bit to get what i am looking for out of my SHO.
 
Welcome to EBPF, congrats on your '14 SHO!  Very true, nowadays just a bit of tinkering can make a big difference, and thankfully, Ford has left that possibility alive & well with the SHO :)  Got pics?  Any & all rides welcome ...
 
Hi fellow SHO owners I'm new to this forum and don't know if I'm even doing this correctly but here goes. I currently live in Wisconsin this is my third SHO. I had the 1st and 2nd gen loved them now 2012 red SHO with the performance package. I'm currently installed a K&N CIA. I'm doing the brake upgrades, have the 3 bar sensor, NGK plugs, catless DP, and just order my Livernois tune ready to install. Looking forward to getting to know everyone better and learning a lot about my SHO.

Welcome!  :WELCOME: :WELCOME: :WELCOME:

A long time SHO fan who already caught the modbug!

Enjoy!

Maybe you could post this in the new member intros....
 
Hi Guys,

My name is Butch. I drive a 2013 PP SHO and just bought a 2014 XSport for my wife.  I drive all day for work (industrial sales) so I put around 35K per year on my cars. Just unloaded a Pontiac GTP with 200K (fan of blowers) that was modded as well.  Love the SHO so far and have been having fun with my recent mods.  Liking the Ecoboost platform and plan to mod further on both vehicles.  Milwaukee, WI
 
Hello everyone  My name is Ken and like everyone else here enjoy cars !
  I have been into cars for years and have raced many Fords in the past. Partial to the old 427 cars.
I have however, slid off the Blue Oval and purchased other great cars in the past. But always come back to my Fords.
  Well, I just purchased a 2013 Ford Taurus SHO and I am looking forward to some Mods. My wife and I will be driving this car as a daily driver so the mods will not be too wild. Most likely looking at a cold air kit and a tune. Exhaust if not too loud. Any suggestions ?
    Some of my cars of the past:
1969 Mustang Mach I  (swapped out 428 for 427)
1969 Shelby GT350
1968 Shelby GT350 conv
1970 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler
1971 Mustang Mach I (429SJ) Auto
1972 Nova SS (350)
1972 GMC Sprint (402)
1967 GTX 440 Auto
1964 Ford Gal XL R code (427)
    Present cars:
2013 Ford Taurus SHO
1993 Ford F150 Mark III
1967 Ford Fairlane GTA
 
Welcome aboard the E.B.P.F Ken,please post some pics of the new ride and is the SHO A PP or non PP?How many miles on her?was it a CPO ? Personally have a Livernois tune and could not be happier,any questions you may you can email them at info@livernoismotorsports.com ,they might have a package deal and best of luck with the new ride.  Z    :WELCOME:
 
Welcome to EBPF, Ken, congrats on the return to the Ford family :)  Tunes can be had from Unleashed, Livernois, and also LET.  There is a rumor that there may be a couple of tuners using HPTuners for the SHO, as yet unconfirmed.  Downpipes vendors are PPE, Livernois, and Unleashed.  Catbacks (or turbobacks as I have heard them called recently) - Corsa is probably the handsdown favorite, but you can rig your own with, for example, an X pipe and mufflers.
 
Thank you ZSHO and SHOdded for your welcome !
    ZSHO, this is a non Performance package vehicle. I believe that's what you are referring to.
  I certainly will post some pictures to his site once I figure out how to upload them.
                                                    Thank you again for your welcome,                  Ken
