Default WINNER of June FOTM: Auto-Tragic! - Davor!
The Competitors


The Winner:


Davor


Quote:
Wow. I really don't know what to say. I never thought I would win FOTM. Car was relatively unchanged for the last 3 years but I am still treating her with respect.

My story begins with bitter-sweet Focus experience. I bought Fort Knox Gold LX sedan day after Christmas 1999. In the first year alone car spent 104 days being repaired at local dealership after being towed due to numerous malfunctions. To add insult to injury I was not given rental car at any point. In August 2001 I decided I had enough, so I went to different Ford dealership to trade current Focus for a new one. Well this car was it. Contract gave me extended warranty and rental in case I need one. As you can see she is still in my possession and I intend on keeping her for as long as I can. I bought an auto-tragic because I never intended modifying it in any way. Little did I know one small mod would lead to new bigger one. In 2005 I bought the now-o2designs-famous wagon thinking it will be unmodified daily driver but 20 hrs later local Craigslist seller treated me with brand new Koni Yellow/H&R's for $100. One year later I am keen on modifying both Foci and for once enjoying 5-speed every day. But before things got out of hand and I ended up with two money pits I sold the wagon [now ticked by seller remorse] to one fellow who drove 3600 miles to take delivery. To me having an auto-tragic was a blessing because it saved me thousands on engine mods I live in Florida now and soon my Focus will be by my side once again; I hope that I will keep meeting new Focus owners.

Again, thanks to all who made this possible, I am one happyer Focus owner.

I'm sorry, did I slate his car??? NO!!!!! So no need to get all defensive I didn't see the reasoning on the original thread, but the point does still stand regardless.

Anyways, Davor, your car is awesome, one of the cleanest on FJ. I thought you sold it? If you want to deliver it to CA, I'll take it - trade ya for $2, nekkid pics, and a liter of cola

He was allowed to enter. If you will look in the nominations thread, I even stated that his car DID meet the requirements.

He didn't get enough nominations to make it into the top 5 for the voting, that's all.

Thanks guys. This means a lot to me. Although she lacks motor upgrades I can still easily overtake fully loaded band camp school bus.

Thanks Kris. Before I moved to FL I posted this car for sale to ease burden of carrying it with me [already had to ship my Crown Vic]. Now that I have settled I plan on bringing it to FL home.
