Here starts build thread V2...pictures and less chatter I hope. While staying on topic.
LETS GET TO IT!!
So Betsy was bought back in February of 2012, and was the first car I owner myself. She is a 2002 Ford Focus Se and had 24,000 miles on her when I first bought her. It was a grocery getter for an old couple all it's life and have reason to believe it had never been pushed over 55 mph.
Currently there are 67,000 miles on the ol car and rising everyday! Being a college student I am a fan on MPG over Power, so my mods revolve around that concept.

When I first got the car I had no way of taking photos except for my iPod, have upgrades since then but pictures from when I first got her are few.

This car was parked outside, never been waxed, vacuumed, all around a mess. Body wise it was missing the PS mirror, but those are only $20 for motorized YES!
For about a year nothing happened, then the mod bug hit, it didn't help that I found this site as well. College started and there went my money.

Some days the tint seems dark and others can see right through. Looking back I would have been happy with 20%, but was told I had to keep it legal.
Smacked into a construction come merging I to the highway, won't get Into that. Had to replace the PS mirror....again.

Had a funny story about shooting a mouse nest out my tailpipe so decided to check the air filter, first time I had ever done that.
