    New from MA

    Hi all, my name's Matt and I'm from Tyngsboro, MA. It's good to see there's an active local forum for this area! I'd never heard of this place until I saw a post about the upcoming Kanc Cruise on another forum that I frequent. I'm not quite sure whether or not I'll be able to make it just yet. I'd really like to do some work on my car before I take it on any spirited runs.

    I have a '94 Taurus SHO for a daily driver. It's a 5-speed with about 163k miles on the clock. The struts are in pretty rough shape, so I ordered a set of Koni inserts to go with some aftermarket springs that I recently picked up. It should feel like a new car once I get everything installed. Can't wait.

    Anyway, I look forward to exploring this place some more. With any luck, I'll be able to meet some of you at the cruise. I'll do my best to get the car ready in time.

            Thanks for the warm welcome(s)!

            Here are a couple pictures taken by a buddy of mine this past weekend -

            (No seats because I removed them to make room for cargo. This was at a swap meet.)




            And an action shot from NHMS last year -

            Nice. What made you decide to get rid of it?

              LOL, I ask that about many cars that I've owned..... I've owned over 50 cars in 18 years of driving. I've had some serious car A-D-D previously. Seeing how clean your SHO is I love it!!!

                    YES YOU TRACK IT, SHO's are too good not to race lol

                    sexy car man, you really should come on the cruise...if you car isnt 100% you can just take it easy and stay towards the back, and by-pass the only real "hard" driving alot of members do.

                              Thanks for the compliments!

                              And yeah, I almost went with a different picture because of the "facepalm", but I just like this one too much. That's me in the background. I was adjusting my sunglasses as the picture was taken. I think. I dunno, the beer was flowing at that point so who knows what the hell I was doing...
