**Ataru** · 01-28-2008, 08:28 PM

Name change needed?

Glad you're okay. Details on what happened?

**Broke_Two_Foci** · 01-28-2008, 08:33 PM

I don't know about a name change.

I have seen what has happened to those who have asked.

I was on my way to work last Thursday morning. going straight through an intersection. one driver made a left in front of me. I almost hit them. then the person behind them just followed them. I t-boned the second vehicle. I was not cited for the wreck. the other driver was cited for failure to yield.

**MattZTS** · 01-28-2008, 08:54 PM

i like the new front bumper,hood and fender mod lol. i kid.

glad your ok. i hate when people do that. i have had many close calls from stuff like that. the one person turns left the guy behind figures if i go fast enough i can make it. no you cant make it douche ****ing wait till its clear.

**ptunezx3** · 01-28-2008, 09:02 PM

**ZX3guy182** · 01-28-2008, 09:41 PM

That sucks dude. What kind of wheels are those?

**elderfeces** · 01-28-2008, 09:43 PM

Now it's Broke_Three_Foci

And I recognize that mountain in the background there Mike. LOL

...Like I said before, glad you're okay buddy.

**PCP_TwilightZX3** · 01-28-2008, 11:21 PM

so are we gonna try again. don't give up on the focus you will regret it. hell the brief time i had my rx8 all i could do was point out the things the focus had that were better and other than acceleration and backfiring. was everything

**Broke_Two_Foci** · 01-28-2008, 11:31 PM

you know, I have given a lot of thought to purchasing another focus. they are great little cars. but I have been driving these cars for 8 years now. my life has taken another direction. I think I am done for now. who knows I may get another one. someday.

**MrBirdman330** · 01-28-2008, 11:35 PM

Thats how I am with the late Ford Tempo, wrecked the only one I loved and said no more after that. Focus is a great car, when I first test drove one it blew me out of the water. I'm glad to be a proud owner of one and hope you get another some day. Given thought of what you want to purchase now?

**Broke_Two_Foci** · 01-28-2008, 11:35 PM

I am actually thinking of an Explorer Sport trac. should be able to handle a lot more of what my life is involved with these days.

the wheels are made by a company called SportMaxR. the model number is 050. with a bronze coating.

**lil_silver_rocket** · 01-29-2008, 12:47 AM

Did insurance call it totalled?

**Lifeguardjoe** · 01-29-2008, 02:56 AM

LOL, you can see the other persons hub cap in your grill area.

**BLUE_02_ZX3** · 01-29-2008, 03:31 AM

Sorry that happened man, howd it happen?

I dont mean to be an ass, but how much for the drivers side fender if its still okay?

Looks from the pic though, its already out of your hands.

once again, sorry, I had this happen on a much smaller scale just a month or so ago. Good thing the lady who hit me had insurance.

Are you gonna get reimbursed for it?

Sport trac, good choice, I would get a Rubicon for that money though, but thats just me. though if I was getting a 4x4, 4door, I would probably get a tacoma.

**zetecgt** · 01-29-2008, 07:16 AM

ouch! Hate to see another Focus go to heaven.

Good luck on the Sport-Trac!

dave.

**MrBirdman330** · 01-29-2008, 10:50 AM

Just don't try to tow any U-Haul trailers since Explorers are banned.

**tallguy2.3** · 01-29-2008, 03:03 PM

This really stinks bro but I'm just glad you are ok.

**LamarWH** · 01-29-2008, 03:55 PM

salvage that HID.....wiring harness

**MrBirdman330** · 01-29-2008, 07:23 PM

When these cars take a hit they take a hit and its hard to get them repaired. It would probably cost way more than the car is fully worth to fix. I'm on my third back bumper because I keep getting smacked in the rear. Salvage as much as you can because you never know when you might need the parts.

sorry had to bust on that, your new and dont know the boards yet

Welcome.

That must have been a hell of a hit.

**lunarc** · 01-29-2008, 10:16 PM

I know the feeling, I had the very same situation where I loved my car so much but there is no way I could get back into another Focus. Glad to hear your Ok.

**boostedzx3** · 01-29-2008, 10:21 PM

Is that a trim ring off a wheel between your bumpercover and under the hood?

**Broke_Two_Foci** · 01-29-2008, 10:22 PM

yep from the truck that pulled out infront of me
