Anyone near Pittsburgh?

Coupe2.0 · 11-07-2009, 02:06 AM

Hello everyone! I currently drive a 2009 Vista Blue Focus Coupe SES (with a failmatic) and am looking for some people who wouldn't mind getting together for a weekend drive. I'm near the Pittsburgh Internationl Airport (Oakdale to be exact) and although it's almost winter, it's not to late to still have fun. If anyone's interested, let me know, or if anyone has any advice, that would be appreciated also.

There are other members from the Pburg area, I just can't think of their names right now.

If you leave now, you'll make it for the Reading meet today.

Oh, BTW I have an ATX too. Mine's not a failmatic.

I'd like to go to the meet in Reading, but money is a lil tight atm. I didn't mean for the failmatic to be a bash against the auto trans for the focus, it's just that I didn't wait for a manual coupe from the dealership when I bought the car.

We call them Autotragics around here, lol, not because they're automatics, they just don't do well when power is put to them. Still good cars, don't let anyone fool you.

And I'd be up for a Pittsburg run next year, right now I have a full plate.

Come to Reading.
Seriously,I wouldn't worry about being automatic.
Have it tuned for the aggressive shifts and just Love the Car you have.
RoosterST's Car is quick and his is stock automatic.

ATX is not weak, by any means.

I didn't think you were bashing the ATX.

Coupe2.0 · 11-07-2009, 11:08 AM

Will there be another meet after this weekend at Reading? Because I won't be able to make the one this weekend.

The completely stock ATX is weaksauce. Lets see how many ATX's have failed on here?

And Tom's ATX is by no means a Stock ATX Tranny

I just wanted to see if there were any drivers around Pittsburgh to hang with, not to start a ATX bash, besides it's all in how you drive, not what parts you have.

I guess I should have said, the ATX can be modified to be good.

Anyways....there's a few guys from the Pittsburg Area who occasionally popup. I'm sure you'll find each other some how.
