    Ford can do an amazing job on specialty (read spendy) cars but they still sell crap in general.

    I've always been impressed with the Ford GTs

    But I have to wonder about things like the rust buckets I see running around here in Northern California. Just seems like you let a Ford age a little and it goes bad.

    And I thought this was going to be a funny thread...the thing isn't even pink. :thongue2:

    I agree! People confuse me with being a Ford fan because that's what I ended up renting (only option) when I was going to a school last fall. I had a great time breaking the axle on that car that had 17 miles on it when I rented it. I do like the professional rally version of the Focus though! Although....I think I'd like any professional rally car!!! :love:

    Yeah, funny how rally cars are usually the brands I can't stand in day-to-day life but are friggin' sweet in that situation. Guessing they're just cheaper to modify the crap out of and no guilt about breaking them. :chair: :happy:

    ok so even up the odds...a track neither of you have seen, in a car neither of you have driven!!!....

    they throw you the keys and say 3 laps each....see what the best time is! haha...i'd like to see that

    see the difference between a paid stig and an un paid stig!

    Looks great but my last Ford experience left a bad taste in my mouth.

    im not a ford fan either i just like renting them and jumping them!!!!
    the only thing i accually like about the regular focus is its suspention setup. very sturdy!!!
    just like in the vid its easy to get it up on 3 wheels

    like my mustang its probally seen maybe 60mi of asphalt in the time ive had it the rest of the time has been on dirt.
    i enjoy jumping that 3700lb bucket of rust. lots of close calls when on 2 wheels :grin:
