It's been a long time.

Just thought I would say hi as I may be poking my head in and out after purchasing my new 2013 Ford Focus Smile

Curious how many of the originals are still here? For those who don't know me, I am Jason and I was the original owner of this site before DarkPuppet took it over.

I started off with a 2003 Ford Focus and regret ever getting rid of it. Anyway, thought I post a little time line of what I had before getting back into the Focus. I have to say, I enjoy the Focus the most. Living out of town and seeing that 600km/tank display on the dash is also a sweet bonus compared to the G8 GT that was using 16-17L/100km.

My old ZX3

Then the G8 GT. This thing was a beast and fun to drive but expensive on tires and gas. As fun as it was though, I enjoy the Focus more though.

Since the photo, I got the windows tinted and put on mud flaps. That's about it for a while.

I hear the G8's with a turbo can get in the low 10's...impressive for what looks like a boat of a car.

Thanks guys! Good to see some of the originals still here to.

The Sky was sweet. Wish I didn't have to get rid of it but not having a backseat and much of a trunk made work very difficult so I got rid of it for the G8.
