[/begin rant]
I was on my lunch break and i was talking with a friend who just purchased a '02 Focus ZTS, awesome car btw!!! Then we got on the topic of my car and what i wanted. I told my friend i drove a contour and i wanted to get an SVT. Well a guy was standing next to me and asked why i wanted a POS like that. Well i told him all the specs that i know and he said why don't you get this or why don't you get that. I felt like jumping up and smacking the guy around a bit. I didn't i gathered my senses and asked what he drove. He said he drove nothing and was saving up for a car. I asked what he heard about the contour and he said heard nothing. Then started talking about pimping this and that. I told him i wanted the car because i like the looks and the performance of the car. He looked at me and called me a loser. I looked at him and said well thats your oppinion and said talk to me when you get a car! Then i went on and started to talk to my friend as normal. I asked how come he didn't get the svt and he said he didn't like the look and that it reminded him of honda. Oh well, i got him looking at different webpages and forums for after market products for the Focus.
BTW [/end rant]

yep - thats the beauty of the SVT- nobody and their grandma knows what a joy it really is- it is a very capable car that is a such an awsome car to own- possibly one of the best FWD cars of all time!

i think he was actually driving a Mirage for a while. He was a complete moron when talking to me about the cars. Boy i'm glad i have you guys to talk me through this. Tell me is a 98.5 worth 11,000? it has 56,000 miles looks in awesome shape. I talked to the owner and he asked if i knew anything about them and was suprised when i told him yes. plus he said he would bend on the price to!

Give the owner head and buy it for $9k  That isn't a bad price, but I am sure you could find some ppl here that would like to unload their car on you too
Every time I come online I wonder if the forums will be up
