The even better way to get a good deal on a Focus RS is to wait for the hype train to run out of steam, people to realize the AWD system is gimmicky, the engines and/or trannies to start having “issues”, and enough people to sit inside them and realize, “WTF, this interior makes me want to puke.”

Pretty stark contrast between the two for sure. Mustang dude is a fucking tool. But here’s what also strikes me: the kind of people that take their kids to a cars and coffee then line the streets to watch the cars leave are almost certainly some level of enthusiast. At this point if you are into cars enough to find…

Just take your smartphone, put the video you want to share on the screen, and try to throw the phone up into a cloud.

Is Jalopnik still an automotive website?

I hope I’m not in the minority when I say this:

I thought all Cherokees were excluded from NPOCP to save David Tracy’s wallet and overfilled driveway.

I can’t think of a better reply than this:

This car is far from unique.

This is cringe worthy even without the trailer/trailer loading.

The a/c coils are completely contained within the HVAC housing and not exposed to the engine bay or road grime.

“Present your ports peasants. I have a new dongle to plug in.”

Want to replace the vacuum pump (no.20), that’ll cost you $1440!!

I would imagine that the powertrain would be the least of your worries. A powertrain is a powertrain. I say NP if I had a whatever you call someone who specializes in repairing automotive interior accessories, because this car would be tacky as all heck if all the back seat amenities were broken, and I’m sure…

Congratulations. As a token, accept this:

Because the article above said the front brakes had locked up

French performance car, aftermarket tuned, plenty of unobtainium parts, and a restore candidate to boot. Shouldwe set the truckload of money on fire now? At least we would get warmth from the fire instead of intense seething hatred for this car a few months post purchase.

“Oh yeah, that...I was...uh...loose, yeah - that’s it! Loose 2/3 of the way down the nearly flat front straight and just couldn’t gather it up in time. Oh well. I’m retiring. I also killed a guy one time so this really wasn’t that bad at all.”

What is the cardinal rule “never buy another person’s project”. This car epitomizes that statement. Overheats you say? Can’t figure it out you say? What unseen damage has been wrought in the attempt to cure the overheating issue? CP Just spend the 48K on a nice used C5 or C6.

If only those stupid scientists had thought to build the earth’s cycles into their models. Idiots.
