tired of my focus thinking of getting something else.what should i get

**KonaZXIII** · 06-12-2008, 03:17 PM

1988 Hyundai Excel

**Fishflinger** · 06-12-2008, 03:18 PM

A Yugo.
Nowhere to go but up form there and you will really appreciate the Focus after that.

**Johnny_P** · 06-12-2008, 03:21 PM

Something reliable. Like a 96 F-body V6

**chaz493** · 06-12-2008, 03:21 PM

given your previous postings i can think of only one car that would fit your demeanor. a civic.

be sure to get one that has already been "modded" with some sweet APC parts and nice chrome hubcaps.

**BRZX3R** · 06-12-2008, 03:23 PM

do you hate it or just tired of it?

SRT4 Neon FTW!

**BowDown** · 06-12-2008, 03:40 PM

I heard Dodge Dynasty's were killer cars!

**thepepperman** · 06-12-2008, 03:43 PM

LOL how about a Trek?

Maybe you got beat in a street race by a Focus and that is why you keep posting this. But we do not condone street racing here.

**BRZX3R** · 06-12-2008, 03:49 PM

I heard that SVT Contours are cheap to maintain. They require no maintenance after a long left hand sweeper.

**BoomBoy** · 06-12-2008, 04:11 PM

is your focus paid for? what is your budget limit for a new car? from there we can help you better

**OmniFocus** · 06-12-2008, 04:12 PM

Nothing beats VTAK.

**jinstall** · 06-12-2008, 05:08 PM

LOL @ Lorin.

**Jibberish18** · 06-12-2008, 05:25 PM

Honda Fit for great fitment and Gas. Good styling and great interior Quality.

Mitsubishi Lancer for something sporty, not huge and not TOO heavy but gives you all teh extras you'd want (BlueTooth, GREAT RockFord Fosgate Sound System)

**AAA'S ZX4** · 06-12-2008, 05:26 PM

you could get a bike to save money.

**SVTgirliegirl** · 06-12-2008, 05:32 PM

Get a roadmaster station wagon with the woodgrain on the sides.

**MichaelXi** · 06-12-2008, 06:19 PM

As thorough as you were in describing what you don't like about the Focus and what you WANT in a new car REALLY Helps Narrow the List.
Not.

**bigted84** · 06-12-2008, 06:28 PM

i'm not actually tired of it. i'm just tired of guys younger than me having a cooler kick ass focus. ok so i'm jealous of yall!!!!. a majority of u got kick ass focus's and mine looks retarded next to some of yours. and the street racing thing i know was stupid and it was the only time i did it. I'm just worried that i won't get it to some of of your guys levels before its to old to mess with. like the paint being faded and stuff like that. i'm anal about keeping the wheels clean and it debugged. Everyone of u guys know what i'm trying to say

**bigted84** · 06-12-2008, 06:29 PM

i want a motorcycle but not allowed to have one while i live at home

**SaxManZX3** · 06-12-2008, 06:41 PM

So put a few bucks into the focus, not into a different car. Check out Zetec tuning (or whatever motor your car has) and the exterior and interior mods sections for ideas.

**bigted84** · 06-12-2008, 06:57 PM

i hope u guys see what i mean. i got the duratec and a extended warranty so any mods are out till 75000 miles or 2012

**BackNBlackSVT** · 06-12-2008, 07:07 PM

It takes time and more money and more money. I've thrown away money trying different things but thats the point that makes doing it worth it. It doesn't happen over night unless you get it that way or get yourself a credit card maxed out. Take your time and enjoy doing it,you'll get there, instead of the I want it now attitude.

**orionlion82** · 06-12-2008, 08:04 PM

a saddle and something to mow your yard underneath it.

no more mowing the lawn for dad.
no more having to beg to have the gas card reloaded.
no more paying your own insurance.

just bring a big shovel.

**2focusd** · 06-12-2008, 08:10 PM

I <3 you orion

And seriously, with all of these monotonous, cyclical posts, I just don't understand you anymore, bigted84. You have to figure out what's more important to you, keeping that warranty in-tact by keeping your car stock or voiding the warranty for the hell of it. Actually, you can do tinier mods to your car without it effecting your warranty I'd imagine, so there'd be the best middle-ground for you

**SaxManZX3** · 06-12-2008, 08:35 PM

Most of the mods that you can slap on a duratec (short of forced induction of course) will NOT void your warranty. There are laws stating that i believe as well...
