Beauty and the Beast - Focaljet

**BowDown** · 02-22-2008, 07:49 AM

While my truck was in the shop i got an 08 focus to use. Auto.

Wow it was so blah. Outside it's ugly, inside it's ok... and I hate that automatic. Seemed like whatever speed I was going in OD if I wanted to speed up at all it popped out.

Only thing I liked was how nimble it was (like my focus).

Just thought I'd share.

well, you just cleared one of my options about a car to reserve tomorrow for rent... i was thinking about the 08' focus but now, not so much...

Post up more pics of your headlights. Are those ST170s painted body match color?

Ya.. if it had a stick i think I could overlook some of the shortcomings looks wise..

The auto tint rear view mirror didn't work at all in mine. Don't know if it was user error or not.. i ended up tilting it up and not being able to see behind me in the dark.

Ya, shes been through alot. The first pic is how it looks now. I still have the hood, and I have different wheels for the spring..

I'm kinda out of the game now. I have had the car since nov 2001. Dumped about 35k into it over the past 7yrs.. not a whole lot to show for it today, but its been stripped to the shell twice.

**ridindirtyzx3** · 02-22-2008, 03:29 PM

**Revo** · 02-22-2008, 03:50 PM

what happened to the wrc front?!?

that look was BAMF

**BowDown** · 02-22-2008, 04:07 PM

I had it stored last winter (among some other parts) in my parents garage.. and the garage collapsed. The bumper was a total loss

.

Got a great deal on this one.. the blue stock bumper I was sporting annoyed me.

**BowDown** · 03-13-2008, 03:14 PM

Car is going to become my daily driver again soon. Truck is being sold

. Not sure what to think about it.
