Thanks everyone!

Ya, she's single...and 17. :) She'll NEVER get the Cobra. I don't think she could disengage the clutch. I yanked the ebrake the other day, and she couldn't undo it. She's spoiled alright. Mom paid half and I paid half.

We got a great deal on the lil zoomie... but MY first car was a 65 Buick. $50...and *I* paid for it by cutting lawns. She gets to pay her own insurance and gas though.

The Focus has Eibach Sport springs... 2" in front 2.25" in back (I think). It's low enough to crush the headers, I know that. [:(]

BlackOut -

The Cobra has a K&N filter and some cool mats. It's got 9K miles on it. The SVTf has the springs, the tires and a new clutch cylinder (45K miles). If there is anything else, I don't know about it (yet). I kind've dig the "all original" thing. I like to redo old motorcycles and say "all original!", but I like to mess with them too. It's a slippery slope, isn't it?

9K Miles on the clock WOW [80?]... That's nice. Is is a re-built engine?

Yeah the All original look is pretty awesome ... wish someone would have slapped that on me earlier before the mod bug bite ...

Oh well nice rides. [thumb]

What a coincidence! I'm 17!
I bought my first car by myself ($6000) and pay gas and repairs and mods. If you've got the money great, go buy your kids a car, but my parents didn't so I waited a year and worked all the time between school to afford it.

Hopefully she drives good and doesn't get in any accidents for sure. I got a friend whose parents gave him his car and he doesn't care about it: he's had like 4 accidents and 3 speeding tix.

I think I'm just slowly going to make my car into an svt look a like cause when the time comes for me to get rid of it it will be worth like 1k cause I will have so many miles on it. In a year I've added like 15k or 16k. Back on topic of the cars how many miles on the 02 focus?
