Just a question,

What do you guys think about the SVT Focus?? I need another car and can get one of these on D-plan from my brother in-law who works for Ford.

Super.

I have a soft spot for the car, although I don't think I'd ever buy one. The american Focii (?) seem to be much worse then their European counterparts, as a lot of the auto trannies are blowing up around 30k miles. Don't know about the manual trannies, though. Look into some focus message boards, they should be able to give you a better understanding of the cars limitations.

If I wanted a FWD get-around car, the SVT Focus would probably be my first choice. Especially for the $14-15k he's getting it for...

I'm really liking this 8p-7a shift. I think I might ask to stay on it for good. It works with my schedule really well and gives me a fair amount of time to play in the morning after work and in the evening before work. It's been nice having people around the house to hang out with and talk to. Plus, starting at 8 means I could start coming to the meets again (only for an hour and a half though) and if we wanted I could also make sac raceway on the occasional wednesday
