Just drive this car for a DD, your not going to be tracking it or going to a car show with it. Enjoy it.

Actually, about that... There's this Website called FocusFanatics that I recently joined, just because I figured they could help me out and stuff, and apparently there is an annual "FocusFest" that attracts hundreds of people and is broken down regionally for an easy commute. There's racing and shows, and it's nearly dirt-cheap. So yeah, I will be doing that. :P Also, a lot of cars over there have those projector headlights, and I didn't think so either, but they look really good when they're actually on the car.

Yeah, he is. I should have made that clearer though. Although it's nothing to be jealous of, as this was the best selling car in the world for a few years in a row, so they're extremely common and cheap.

he fixed those.... the car cost him nothing, probably cost my parents about $1000.. he spent i'd say well over $6000.. and now the car is gone, he still misses it sure, but he learned a lesson to not mod it if it's not needed, sure he'll go chip it and boost is and what not, but at least he'll do it carefully this time, IMO dont do anything, even if you end up getting this car, just leave it alone, and start saving up...... and go buy yourself something newer.. THEN start doing wahtever the hell you wanna do with it

I understand exactly what you mean, but different people love different things in different ways... Personally, I like things that I no longer have best of all. When I have my second car or later, I'd rather be able to say "I had a Focus tuned just my style and then it just killed itself and left me" than "I had a Focus. I sold it."

Don't worry about the haters just do whatever you can afford to do...

Actually, I'm not paying my dad anything... I'm not even paying for insurance. If I didn't get any modifications, I'd only pay for gas and maintenance.
You can call me spoiled, but I prefer "lucky".
And that last line is what everyone should go by.
I actually have more respect for full-on ricers than traditional dragsters and drifters and whatnot, because they simply do what they want and are happy with it.
