I've come back for more. :D

No more Integra for me, caused too many problems near the end and became too unreliable. I ended up buying a brand new car, a 2005 Focus. I'm enjoying warranty and free road-side assistance.

Just a few mods so far, but I hope to pay off this first binge of parts to go for a second for next season. :)

Why a 1990 Honda Civic HB?? Does it matter? :dunno:

Welcome Back Calarina

[calarina]

Hahaha, has no one here ever called a Focus, a Fucus instead? Just like calling an Integra a Teg, or a Civic by it's chassis code. :D

I got a Focus because I needed a vehicle since my Integra kept breaking. I work for a Ford dealership, and had $2000 free Ford cash for being an employee, so it was the easiest thing to get with next to no established credit. Also, dealer cost on a vehicle is bonus. :)

The 2005's are a new generation this year. Different front end, different interior, and a 'DURATEC' engine instead of the old ZETEC. Suspension, brakes, and exterior from the firewall back have essentially stayed the same.

hey Calarina seen you a few times at the HUsly on Mcloed but never botherd to say hullo... that and your never on msn anymore.. congrats on the new car

[calarina]

Hahaha, well then, next time you should, because I'm not sure if I remember what you look like. It's been so long since I've seen most people on here, and so long since I've been to a meet...over a year I'm sure.

[403Gemini]

Sorry you had to get rid of your teg, sounds like same thing i ran into, just to much money goin into it.

Grats on the focus tho! nice cars! so you work at a ford dealership now hey? which one? any good mustang gt's kickin around you could get me a good deal on? :)

[calarina]

Haha, I work at Maclin, the one in the auto mall.

The new Mustang GT's can start as low as $28,000, but with no extra's. The convertibles are so much more expensive; I remember one had a sticker price of $42,000 but I don't know what options it had. I work in the service department. :)

awesome.... i may just hafta test drive one ;)

base model include power windows/doors/ac?

i have tommorow off might stop by :D

[calarina]

I believe they all come with at least power locks and windows. Because when you open the door, the window goes down slightly, and when you close it, it goes back up to help window sealing; the Thunderbirds had this technology first I believe.

The V6 is more affordable for the average person, starting around $21,000 I think. I don't know, these are questions more for the sales department to answer, haha.
