Thread: The F-150 has been replaced...

......as my daily driver!

The almost $300 a month Ive been paying in gas to get me to and from work was starting to hurt more an more so Ive been tossing around the idea of a cheap beat commuter car or truck. I originally wanted a 2wd 4 banger Ranger but to get one around here reasonably priced is tough, its like they are made of gold or something, way overpriced so reluctantly I started looking at cars, which I hate. Came across this 2003 Focus, liked the price, liked the car so I bought it. With the money I save in gas driving this I will save me about $150 monthly. My F-150 will get parked and will only come out on really crappy winter days and when I need to tow with it.

Anyways, here is my new chick car!

Spec:

2003 Focus SE
147,000 miles
2.0 4 banger
5 speed manual
4 awesome doors
some rust
previous collision repair

Oh nice. Mine will likely stay stock. I plan on doing some maintenance and just driving it. It leaks oil from the valve cover right on to the exhaust manifold so that will be fixed right away.

Ha ha yeah, I wanted a Ford. I actually wanted a 4 banger 2wd Ranger but they are going for too much coin right now. I HATE cars but it will be practical for what I need it for.
