Car was paid off last month, went and had the title switched from my moms name into mine and got my new plates. It's a good feeling knowing for once the car is all mine [cheers]
With this little piece of paper I officially own my car [headbang]
![Image]()
The day I bought it, looking all innocent, not aware of the coming mods, some good, some terrible (I was young!)
![Image]()
![Image]()
After a few months I got bored of stock, so I bought some things...
![Image]()
Rear seats are for chumps!
![Image]()
The switch was for neons, yes neons. I had undercar neons for like a month. Please don't hurt me.

Eibach Prokit springs (and a terrible attempt at a custom grill)

First winter! Didn't see to much snow.
![Image]()
I wish I wouldn't have painted these [hatchet]
![Image]()
First G2G
![Image]()
And then one glorious summer afternoon, my car woke up and found a supercharger slapped on (this was at 55K miles) as well as a Spec clutch and Fidanza flywheel and some other bits.

This is still probably my favorite pic of my car.

Then along came a boost upgrade and some custom tuning courtesy of our former friend Wayne at HIA as well as traded another used for some EAP wheels and a euro grill. This was probably my car at it's prime.

![Image]()
Later I traded the same kid my euro grill for a CF hood, that didn't stay to long.
![Image]()
A year or two of hard times went by with no money for extra mods so we'll skip ahead. Oh look, that [
][][][][][][] hood is gone and I found some winter wheels!
![Image]()
Had my famous dual exhaust tip setup fabbed up somewhere along the lines, my photobucket is all out of order. It's gone now but will hopefully be resurrected soon!!!
![Image]()
Skip a year..
Another winter!
![Image]()
Summer came and my EAP got powder coated black, new suspension and my valve cover got painted blue.
![Image]()
![Image]()
![Image]()
That summer I stole my brothers camera ALOT. I'm sure some people got tired of seeing pictures of my car that year.

New headlights!

Oh look! Someone decided I need weight reduction and kindly took my amps out of me.
![Image]()
And then my throttle cable mount broke
![Image]()
Oh and awhile back my transmission blew up too, and I had about 6 months of a hell of a lot of problems which is why to this day, Lildisco thinks my car won't drive 8ft without breaking down [slap]
...another winter

Spring cleaning...

2008 maybe?
![Image]()
2009ish some things happened, I drove alot, I fixed some things.
![Image]()
![Image]()
![Image]()
![Image]()
Also moved in with the GF which gave me and the car access to a nice garage!!
![Image]()
2010 and I got bored once again and had my EAP painted gold. No I'm not trying to be a Subaru, it just looks cool.

And basically that leads us to today. The car is mine, it had alittle over 142K miles and no plans to get rid of it. Plans for a daily drive are in the works so the Focus can rest a bit more and shed some weight and romp on it alittle harder but nothing major. Just keeping the wheels moving. Thanks for looking.
