MAY RIDE OF THE MONTH(2007)

Member name: MOFOCUS
Location: Rockwall, Texas
Model: ZX3
Color: Pitch Black


Why he loves his Focus:
"its dependable, its different, its fun to drive and fun to tear down and put back together, the boost aint so bad either."

His future plans:
"Future plans are small for now, the supercharger pretty much put me where i wanted to be, above the bolt on class but not into the complete money pit piston slinging range. id like to get the car running more efficiently, and fine tune it, delete the AC, install the race seats ive got sitting in my room, and relocate the battery. Alittle more power here and there maybe alittle more boost down the road if money and time permit. NEW MIRRORS, cant forget those, and of course fix all the dents and dings (thanks[rolleyes] walmart )"

JUNE RIDE OF THE MONTH(2007)

Member name: TIRESMOKER
Location: Youngstown, Ohio
Model: ST (w/SAP)
Color: Pitch Black


Why he loves his Focus:
"I bought my 2006 ST On November 7th, 2005. She was a beauty. It brought a tear to my eye to see her all shined up and waiting for delivery for me at the dealership. On that day I drove off the lot with the intention of keeping her stock for my dd, boy was I wrong. The modding bug had bit me hard and as I grew closer to completing my ZX3, something hit. It all started out with some wheels, just something to complete the look of the car. But as the days grew I urned for more power. Then it finally let loose, and now my ST has become my second generation track monkey.

In short, I love my focus because it's the car you never saw coming. I love that compliments I get for it and the smiles on little kids faces as I drive through neighborhoods. It has earned me new friends drawn together by a community after the same goal, the love of these cars. I've been to many gatherings and met great people because of these cars, I've gained new friends that I wouldn't have met otherwise, and seen sights I wouldn't have seen without the Focus. It may sound corny, but these cars have become a major part of my life and have helped me grow as a individual."

His future plans:
"My future plans for the car included forged internals, and a Cosworth intake manifold. One of these days I'll get around to installing the clutch and flywheel, but I'm trying to get the most I can out of the stocker for now.

Also get some R-compounds for autocrossing and take 1st in SM."

Gotta go Local![woot][woot]

man what a choice to make, all amazing fofo's i was hoping it didnt come down to these 3, i told myself it take a long while to figure out which one is the best, all amazing, all boosted, all gorgeous cars, but i had to go with mofocus, overall it appeals to me more then the other 2, but whoever wins deserves it a lot of time was put into each one of these foci
 
#20 ·
man...a hard choice. ima hafta go with tom cause he has a boosted auto focus. not many of those around. tiresmoker comes in a VERY close second. and mofocus....sweet ass ride man. looks amazing and im sure she scoots along nicely. all 3 are winners in my book though.

CWCZX3!

Oh wait.......he didn't make it into the final 3. [scratch] Amazing a car that has a highly modded Exterior / Interior / Engine / and Suspension that all works together so well doesn't make it into the final 3.

Nothing against these three in the final (I've even met tiresmoker at Jetfest and he's a hell of a guy!), but something seems fishy that these three cars made it into the final.
haha yea I was surprised not to see him in here... his car is pure sex!
 
#24 ·
If you guys check CWCZX3 made 4th place. He missed being in the final by , I beleive, 2 votes. And yes, I"ve seen his car in person. Sweet ride, too. But nothing fishy here, gotta pic one of these 3! It was a tough choice for me,too.
 
#25 ·
i for sure thought he would be up here and not me, but the ppl voted

please dont turn this whole thread into a "why not CWCZX3?" thread

if it had been 3 guys up there w/ graphics and "ICE" i would be hot myself abt him not making it
 
#26 ·
not saying ur car isnt sexy as hell either greg, just figured he'd be up here cuz of all the work he's put in... <------- [offtopic]

ok, now VOTE PPL VOTE!!!! It's ROTY and we're tired of seeing Massive's car... lol [joke]
