Default Focus Epitaph: The photo story of my Focus (56k Warning)
I guess you could call me one of those weirdos that just loved their car, now it's time to recap the story of my Focus from purchase to fire.
--------------------------------------------------------
Fall 2002, purchased the 2000 Focus ZTS.

--------------------------------------------------------
Spring/Summer 2003, purchased the Euro '02 headlights and installed clear corners and fog lights.



--------------------------------------------------------
Spring 2004, Spring Break @ Destin, FL. Yeah, he's rowing my car.

--------------------------------------------------------
Fall 2004, the Focus has a 'date' with a pre-production Ford GT test mule.



--------------------------------------------------------
Fall 2006, car reaches 100,000 miles. Celebrate with a photo shoot.. little did I know these would be the last photos of my car.



--------------------------------------------------------
December 2006. Electrical fire.. totals her.


What a good car she was.. replaced by a 2007 Mazda 3s.

Well, mine was parked for several minutes before the fire started. I believe the cause to be an improperly done recall (There was a recall for the wiring that runs between the engine block and the air box).. but I don't think I will ever know the real cause.
