Oh yeah, for serious :) I like the car a lot, but I can’t plonk down WRX money for a “sports” car that can’t pass a Toyota Sienna in the interstate, and I don’t want to have to modify my brand new car just to do so.

Huh? The stook’s dash is awesome!

Hi there, I test drove the Toyonabaru FR-Z and ended up going with an ST. If the Toyanabaru had more guts than my Echo I would have that in my garage now instead of the ST, sadly however, it doesn’t.

250/250 of turbocharged fury would do quite nicely and they would soon have a Focus ST on their lot as a trade in :) It’s a shame it didn’t come that way though, a damn shame.

Here’s a video demonstration, please reference the black Mazda 3’s driver side window.

Typically when a faster car/driver combo is behind you, you should point them by so there isn’t a traffic jam. It’s particularly frustrating when you get stuck behind someone because they think they’re faster than you buuuuuuuut they aren’t :(

The interior looks pretty cool, buuuuuut that’s about the only compliment I can give. It looks like they’ve recycled their old Celica “looks fast” edition body pieces. We want power, not rice.

Hmm, time to search for a closer teaching gig.

The question is.... Do you even need a car where you live, or is it just a convenience?

Diversify you say?

Just earn more money and you can both drive what you like, when you like, and save :)

Did someone say Pike’s Peak? :D

I’ve ridden in tons of shitbox UH-60s and Chinooks and I’d take those over an Osprey ANY day of the week.

I can’t change my mind about this “sports car” until it can pull away from a Toyota Sienna :-/

Simple, Focus ST1 :) You can/could easily find a Focus ST (ST1) for under 20k. Think of it like a Fiesta ST with more power, more room, better suspension, better acceleration, handles as well if not better (slightly better skidpad results), and for the same if not less price :D

I’ve attended Pike’s Peak now for since ‘03 or so and every year the pavement grew, so did the powersports group injuries, fatalities, race delays etc. It was so bad one year it took almost four hours to get through them all since they were just continually wrecking. It sucked so bad many of the competitors in the…

This is a publication that gets mailed to you directly from ford after you purchase a vehicle from them.

They really need to get rid of the powersports stuff.... They fly off the mountain all the time, it’s dangerous for themselves, they bring the whole event to a standstill over, and over, and over... Ugh. At the very least I’d put those guys on a different day (Maybe race on Saturday, and run the powersports on Sunday)…

1. Weird, “My Ford” magazine from Ford daid it would be 315hp!

Sounds to me like he just has good taste :) The X is a bloated pooch!
