They are all belong to Focus owners and Focaljet members. I think that is something that a lof of us have forgotten. We are all Focus owners that have come to this board to share our enjoyment with these vehicles.
The one thing that makes all of us different is the way we express ourselves with our cars. Focaljet is NOT just for Focus owners who drag race or road race their cars. Focaljet is for ALL Focus owners no matter how they wish to express themselves through their vehicle.
Be it through drag racing (Tobyboom), dedicated track racing ('68 Touring Car), show cars (Tribal), euro Focus inspired (ZX3 Canuck), low-rider (sit’n’on chrome), autocross (MichaelXi), wagons (Railman), 05's (Back'N'Focus) or even bone stock sedans (blackcat521), we are all here for one reason: We love the cars we drive and want to share that with other enthusiasts.
We have 13,000 registered members of Focaljet. Because we have so many members and everyone has a different idea of what should be done with the Focus, you are going to have people disagree with the different approaches to Focus customization. That is fine. Autocrossers might not like the low-rider style, while drag racers might not like the show car style and so forth. If every car was liked by everyone then customizing our cars would be boring.
The one thing we must remember though is that we should all at least respect what other members have done with their vehicles……..even if you don’t agree with their approach. You might not like a vehicle, you might even completely despise it for what the member did, but that does NOT mean that his car or his approach is any less important than what you are doing to your car.
If you don’t like someone’s car, either use constructive criticism and explain why you are not a fan of it and what you would like to see different, or simply keep your opinion to yourself. There has been too much bashing going on lately simply because of the clashing of the styles. Lets try to embrace all Focus owners and Focaljet members in an attempt to expand the Focus community instead of segregating it.
The Focus and Focaljet community was tight knit when the Focus came out. Everyone was happy to see an owner do anything different to their vehicle because it was something new and different. Lately we have lost that initial feel of community. We have lost focus. Lets try to get back to why we are all here to begin with: Our enjoyment in owning and customizing our cars, the Ford Focus.
Thanks everyone,
