a good wheel lift wreaker driver > a poor flatbed wreaker driver.

90% of wreaker drivers dont know how to properly tow a car. the flatbed gives you guys a false sense of security. the truck really doesnt matter, its the operator.

my friends and I bought a 91 sho to mess around with, if it were to break down near my house it would probably have to be towed back with a tow strap, just wondering how/if i should go about it

btw, what a ridiculous car, i can't believe ford would make something like it



the other two slicers are in the trunk

My son has one 200,000+ miles and runs like a champ. But it will need sho 60,000 mile service. Timing belt and valve adjustment. his is an automatic. I understand the standard had clutch problems. Nice car fun to drive.

dont tow it with a tow strap, its not a good idea at all. i have owned 2 SHOs, very cool cars. i actually just sold my 90 sho to buy my mark viii. but if it runs, i really doubt it will brake down on you. just dont do burnouts with it, the diffs like to explode if you do.
