exactly. or instead of 9000$, you pay 900$ and so on.

He probably could have stayed under the radar for decades. 

Yup, morons getting too excited over things and ruined it for himself like an idiot lol.

What an idiot.  Could have kept it going for a long time if he hadnt been so greedy.  Hell, make it $500 instead of $1 and I bet it’d still be going on.

These aint lasting anywhere near 500 landings...

The reception could have been epic, but for one thing.

He’s the very model of a modern major general.

That is clean enough that I kinda want it to make a proper powered GLH clone and wouldn’t feel bad about using this to do it.

COW!

HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE RIDE! HAHAHA!

As someone with two nonrunning Volvos in their yard, NP.

A Focus with TWO 2.0L ENGINES? That sounds killer! Def worth $20k then.

Do you live in a cold climate or enjoy sweating? Because this turd does not have A/C...

No no no no noooooooooooo. Focii of this era came with 2 engines, both 2.0L 4cyls. The “good” one is the DOHC Zetec engine which first showed up here on the Escort ZX2 and Contour/Mystique.

Nope - not even for that. Maybe if it had the decent Zetec motor but this is the shittacular SOHC. These things loved to grenade motors after ingesting valve seat pieces

One did, but it fell through one of the many holes and was lost.

I have but one word:

Been for sale since 1992. Yes, it’s only been available as a cutaway since MY 2015, but this design is over 3 decades old. Took a model year off in 2020 when they switched from the old V10 to the Godzilla.

Here we view this thing in its natural habitat:

Cool. COTD is back. Of course, now I’m in the greys for no reason and can’t participate, despite being an approved commentor for close to a decade and having one of the most popular COTD’s of all time.  Thanks Jalopnik!  Also, thanks for not replying to any of the emails I sent inquiring about my commenter status. …

Except... the sidewall IS really important and also tends to be a major weak point of tires. Like even with a chonky tread you can rip the sidewall on a pointy rock and it is game over.
