Well its a pain in my @ss to fold myself in half to get into it. I have to buy some closed cell foam to make pads were my leggs hit the console and the door or they would rub them raw. The wifey hasn't talked about gettin her license since we bought it home. And I hard wired a line for my passport radar detector altought I've never been above 60mph with it. Had to buy winter tires for it as it came with summer only tires. $1200 for winter tires and rims with the TPMS installed. Luckly Discount tire have a sell last week and I got $280 off with rebates. Other than that the car is wonderful
. how the hell are you Scottie.
. how the hell are you Scottie.Wow that surprises me about the Focus. I am not exactly a small guy and I have plenty of room. It is quite, rides great and in getting 37 mpg going to work. I also read last week where the 12' Focus is going to take over the highest sold car worldwide from the Camary. I love mine.

Alittle over a 1,000 miles of city and hi-way driving and I'm at 28/29 mpg, but I do like the gas fill up price. focus $40 and the Raptor $90

Ok you don't want my big tires, now about the stockers 235/50/18. They are just setting in my shed. If you need them they are yours. I could probably even delivery them if you still live over by my in-laws. Oh 1 of them has been plugged but was holding air when I took them off 3 yrs ago.

yea I called AM they said the tune should be good but sent me another one anyway. I have the headers and high flow cats that I can't/dont want to change back to stock. I will install it and take it to a local station to see if it will pass before I take it to the state test joint. PIA bs. My other option was to transfer the car to my daughter. She lives here but I think I could use my sons address in bloomington

We had emission testing here in Clark county Ohio for over 20 years in the 80's and 90's up until 2002 I think. They closed them all down after determining we had no better air quality then surrounding counties that didn't test.

Indiana had a vechile inspection saftey check once a year back in the 70's. Any garage or fix it place could do it. They found out about 70% of the repairs the indepentant garages were doing were not needed but they were writing their own meal ticket, so the program was cancel. The little old ladies were reallyin being ripped off.
Indiana FTW!!
Everything is fine. if it was going to be windy, a north wind is best for my house. I live on the south end of a square mile of Forrest. Most of the wind gets scattered by the time it reaches my house, but the leaves are a pain!
Good out here, a few branches down but nothing unusual for a windy storm. I guess a good portion of Mentor is still out. I lost power overnight last night, but it came on sometime this afternoon while I was at work.

Everything good at this end of the state. Just a bunch of nasty weather. Heard there was a big blow going on up in South Bend yesterday and it wasn't Darrell.
