I HIGHLY recomend that you do NOT use that car bra! I had one one my last car (mercury Sable) and the paint under the hood bubbled up like freckles!! Besides the bubbles, it also scarched the paint, DO NOT GET ONE!!! Get that 3m stuff I hear is very good!

 

Congrats! Enjoy your new ride.... Your wallet's gonna love it too

 

THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!

It’s just like the one my daughter (ZX3 SE) got except it don’t have the wheels and fog lights. I was absolutely impressed with this car. I can’t believe how loaded they are, how much room they have, and how much room in the backseat for passengers there is. The back seat is very soft and comfortable. If you haven’t tried yours out check it out, not like you will ever use it, but if you have passengers its really nice.

Congratulations…

Love the color as well…

 

Thanks! Yeah I sat in the backseat for the first time, pretty comfy! For a sec I wished somebody else would drive. lol

 

Congratulations-

The Focus is a very nice car, very well done.

Enjoy it.

Congrats again!!!

 

Congrats. Kinda hard to believe you didnt get a 150 like Johngs said.

Or did you just want to be like Joe?

 

Cool deal.

Now y'all are making me miss my Focus...




Edited to add: And I agree with TritonXLT, don't get one of those cover up bras. I had one on my '97 F250, after you put one on, you'll never want to take it off; the paint underneath where it was was still bright and good to go, but between cleanings it left a very visable line where the edge of the bra was. Get one of those 3M clear bras if you must.

 

They've added lots of neat stuff since my '03 too...steering wheel radio controls, which have spoiled me in my F150 now, the CD storage to the left of the column and best of all, the MP3 player.

 

Wow, I'm thinking there's more to the FL/LGJ thing than I first expected. She wanted a truck so bad she could taste it, but as soon as Joe trades his truck for a Focus... someone else buys one... hmmm...

Oh well, cool car...

My buddy's wife has a 4dr ZTS (I'm still trying to find a small "i" sticker for it... ) and I've driven it a few times. Pretty nice... It's an auto, but she's 5ft, and I'm about 6'2", and we can both drive it comfortably... I thought the telescoping wheel was just too cool for school...

 

Looks like an awesome car!

Seriously, I am proud of ya!

 

Thank God somebody bod an American car!
Foci are fricking awesome!

 

Now my sticker says 'Tilt wheel' but does that also mean telescoping? I couldn't find any lever for that.

I decided a Focus was more practical than a truck right now. Good mileage, good reports, good upgrades. Such a shock going from driving a 12 year old car, to a less than six months old car. Don't get me wrong, I still want a F150! Just the Focus seemed to roll better with me. It all worked out very well and was an awesome experience at the dealer. My original thought was to trade in the Focus later for a F150, but I think I'm falling too much in love with it!

I've been holding this in for about a week! I wanted to surprise you guys, hehe.

Now that I think about it, a car bra doesn't seem worth it. What do you do when it rains? It's not convenient and/or practical to take it off the car and then wipe both dry. As far as the 3M thing goes, I don't want it THAT much. I think routine polishing and waxing will cut it. And as long as I don't go driving on no dirt roads...lol.

No, Joe had no affect on me, lol. I signed up on the Focus Fanatics website but I'd rather post here first on F150 first since you guys are 'home' to me. lol

I'll have to change my sig soon.

 

hahaha, PM. Did you know, the backseats fold down? For extra storage, of course.

 

It's a really pretty car, it suits you! Love the Sonic Blue!
Here's your nanners!

 

Same here! As much driving as I'm doing, it's more economical and NEWER! Plus mine is a 5-speed! I love it.


Also, I agree FL, FocusFanatics is a great place for recources and such, but it just doesn't feel like 'home'. I find myself reading a lot there, but not really posting. They have a lot of different areas with a TON of people, so it makes it a little harder to get to know everyone. (or maybe I just don't want to change)
