This headlight/grill combo from this perspective should have been the front end of the Focus RS.

Plastic impact skirts?

My interest rate was actually less on a 72 month loan than a 48 month loan that was common years ago.

A few years ago at the Detroit Autoshow there was a BYD in the basement. It was a “Hybrid” with 4 marine deep cycle batteries in the trunk.

Wow, butthurt much? People have more money, are more successful and more attractive than you. Get over it.

Mechanical fuel injection that they’re talking about is CIS. Not injection pump driven like in a diesel. CIS had a plate mass air flow sensor which directly opened valves to control fuel flow to each injector.

It’s significantly harder to get financing for a used car. Plus you have the full factory warranty behind you. That’s enough for most people. The Mirage is as simple as a new car gets.

14k, hell no, they’re 10 or under. I got my Fiesta 1 liter for $14,300

The Mirage can be had for under 10k. That’s early 2000’s pricing again. I’d spend the 12-14 on the Fiesta but if your budget is tight it’s still a new car.

There is very limited head room back here.

Syphilis will make you do strange things.

I suppose maintenance and insurance would be less but at 100k why not buy a used Z06, and get the street cred and the performance?

Why would you not just spend another 50k on the real thing?

If I’m buying the car (not leasing) does that percentage factor in also?

Did you negotiate price then opt for euro delivery or do they know that going in?

Looks way better than the bar of soap which is the Model S.

They could be special cars from the factory or add ons after the fact.

You bought a premium car. That model of business does not work for every Fiesta you slide off the lot.

How long did it take to get the car back stateside after your trip? Did they have plates and tags waiting for you?

Very very little soot, the injection pump was far from stock to produce the advance required. I never dyno’d the car but several people have a similar tune, I’ll see if I can dig one up.
