Go down to Skyline Ford and ask for Richard Rojas. Put down a deposit on an SVT Focus. Santa will have it waiting for you.
There is soooo much hot stuff in the pipeline for that car, you'll have years of fun scalding folks.

I'm sorry, I am going to have to agree with Josh on this one.... A friend of mine just got a hell of a deal on a new prelude. Its the last year they are making them from what I understand. I suggest Honda. I have had nothing but problems with my car...granted I love the heap of ****... but if I could do it again...I would go with a prelude. I don't honestly think ford builds a quality vehicle and I do not think that the focus will be any different. Just more expensive to fix like the svt contour!

I'm putting it in the shop on monday to get the full report on what is wrong. If it is major then i will be getting a new car. Hondas are played out though, there is nothing that i can do to the car that hasn't already been done. I would get an integra but they are played out too.
