I was coming home from work on the freeway today, 80mph, cruise on, and the car downshifted, then upshifted back into overdrive, and so on until I slowed down to 70 where it would stay in overdrive. Then I let off the gas all together and the car kept going the same speed. The only way it would slow down is if I hit the brakes. I got off the freewa...

Does anybody know if they sell spacers for the rear wing? I don't want to replace it with an aftermarket one, as I like the one that's on the car, I just want raise it up. I'm thinking maybe half an inch to an inch higher off the trunk.
If not, I guess I can fabricate some up, but I'd rather pay someone else and be lazy about it

Please pardon the lack of photo's - I'm trying to be as descriptive as possible
In our hatchbacks, there are two interior lights for the luggage area immediately behind the upper area of the back seats. Both lights are... pathetic.
Opening the lights is very easy: there's a thin slot on the front edge of the lens that can be used...

I just notice this on my Focus a couple weeks ago. The front bumper is slightly darker than the rest of the car. It's easy to see in certain lighting conditions. A buddy at works 2012 Optima has the same issue with his rear bumper. Is this something common?

As of 5/22/13:
I thought it would be a good idea to clear the air about what folks may be finding online for their MK3 2013 Focus ST.
Despite internet listings found in Europe and perhaps elsewhere, there are only 2 coilover sets currently available, the H&R height adjustable set sold by FSWERKS and the KW V3 Sold by Perfect Circle Autosport...

Has anyone else noticed this strange behavior?
On a sort of related note, is it normal for USB playba...

Hey everyone.
I've been driving a very nice '99 Ford Taurus for a couple years now, and while it's been a jack-of-all-trades, it isn't particularly fun to drive/own. It is however very inexpensive to run. That being said, One of my choice cars that I would like to own right now is the Focus SVT since I always say that if you...
