welll guys...time has come to get rid of the ol' girl....i finally came to a conclusion that the focus for is nothing more than a money pit that keeps on eating my green...so now i should hopefully be picking up a Honda Del sol by the end of the week and will probably be putting my foci up for sale/ parting it out if i don't trade it into ford..so i just figured i'd give you guys the heads up that if i don't trade it in, i'll most likely be parting things out...and i will keep up with this site...even tho i'll feel like an outsider :(

the funny thing to me is that you'd be spending far more on an older Del Sol then you would your Focus.... mainly because you can't guarentee when to stop on modding an honda like some people who spend over $20,000+ on a 93 civic... and they are easier to steal then a focus.
but yeah it's your choice.... umm good luck with that. :iono:

You've gotta do what you've gotta do. Keep a real close eye on the Del Sol for rust and other up-and-coming issues.
Age doesn't care how popular a car is to mod or how deep the community is, it just regulates what breaks, where it breaks and how often it'll break.
Good luck Brian!

Well good luck with the Del Sol, altho it is sad your going to be driving a Honduh :lol: But just remember this, cars are the worst investment in the world, no matter what you put into it you'll never see that money back. Keep that in mind.

Aren't you a rather large man, like many of us on here, myself included?
That can't be a pretty site seeing you squished into a two seater Del Sol.

You haven't seen the new hatch either, eh? I'll have to get Oscar over sometime when you're here for a mini-meet.

You never know what's out there, but, enjoy your Honda, they look like fun.
P.S. I have a white ZTS, without a spoiler, so if your looking at parting out the car, let me know...
