...as like many others on his board, my time with my focus is coming to an end. I picked her up in June 2000 and despite all the recalls, trips to the service department, poor Ford service, she was a really fun car to drive. After all the aftermarket stuff I put on her she would outhandle anything in this class. I received numerous compliments on her and no matter where I'd go people would recognize me by my ride. She also taught me almost everything I know about car parts and what little mechanic knowledge I have. Great learning car and I'll definitely be crushed to see her go. Her picture will be in the autotrader this upcoming thursday.
When she was totally done she looked like this:

Interior Looked like this:

Had the stereo in the back that looked like this:

But my favourite shot had to be this one:

Meford: No it's not a 3 series
Residentdud: yes I've seen the pics. They look better on your car than on mine because they stand out more.
As far as the new car I'll post some pics when I pick it up from the dealership at the beginning of June after I get back from Europe.
