A newbie fo SHO

SMITHN10SHO · November 20, 2014, 12:48:00 PM

Hey,

My name is Noah and a new owner of a 2013 SHO PP. I am in the US Air Force living overseas. I cam across a great deal on my sho which is a story for a different time, and have only had the car for about 3 weeks. I very new to the DIY performance modding, but have some knowledge of how cars work. I look forward to meeting everyone. I have tons of questions which led me to this forum. I feel lucky to be a member since it really feels like a community and not a bashing party. Thanks and hope to talk to you soon!

Welcome,

I to am a new member and also purchased a 13 PP SHO. So far the guys/gals on the forum have been very helpful and I haven't seen any bashing.

I was pulled to this forum for that reason, everyone seems to really focus on knowledge and improvement.

Welcome to the forums. Nice to see other veterans in the ecoboost community. Even if they are from the US Chair Force. Hehe ex-Navy here. I gotta ask. Does the airforce bases have a car shop that u rent for $1/hr where they provide u with a lift and all the tools you need? That was the best part on the Navy bases.

Lol i'm also ex NAVY. Now I work with Chair Force personnel all day on an airforce base. I do work with Marines, NAVY, UK, and Netherlands also though.

lol
I haven't been called a member of the "Chair Force" in quite some time. Yeah we get a free auto hobby shop to use, but the issue is I live so far from the MOB that it's hard to get to. I am in a very small unit on a host nation base. I also have worked with multiple different countries within the last few weeks. Nothing like it!

I liked mixing it up at night with the big rigs

SMITHN10SHO · November 20, 2014, 02:20:33 PM

How long were you in Germany?

SHOdded · November 20, 2014, 03:34:41 PM

Only about a week, on business. Had a rental (Merkur, I think?). Pegged top speed and then some. Had to be way more careful on city roads & at traffic lights.
