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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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