and you let him drive away like that? I would have been tempted to rip the sticker off of his car.

Yeah, they sell those stupid VTEC RACING stickers, I see them all the time. They used to sell GT-R badges but I haven't seen one of those on a car in a while.

Hey now...Ford has done a great job in the new generation styling of the focus. Yes, it has fake fender vents (like thousands of people put on their cars to "look fast"), but look what it came from. They got a little "sportier" with it, and I think they pulled it off pretty well.

I think thats what he was refering to, the fake vents that people can buy at the same time and the same place as they buy said VTEC stickers

No I was alluding to the cheap tacky god awful vents that they put on at the factory. They look stupid.

Ford has announced they are gone in 09.

They shoudl ahve just brought over the European styled Focus. That one looks good, the North American one is just plain FUGLY!

It took me a while to actually realize that the vents are F's. Who in the hell puts big chrome letters on cars? USDM Ford is absolutely retarded, I don't understand how in the world the EDM Ford lineup can be so fantastic and the USDM can be so horrible.

because if Ford released some of the US models in EDM, the europeans would spit in their face and egg the cars on the lot for insulting them. . . they just have higher standards up there, it might also be that their 'domestic' manufacturers are making such better cars that they have to compete, thats my take on it. . . Americans are just to eager to jump into a POS because its cheap, go to the EDM, you can have good quality and cheap together, im sure a Renault or a Peugot would beat the shit out of this USDM focus in all categories of comfort, style, and everything else in between

Fake = Sporty? if Ford is so obsessed with names that begin with F (freestyle, focus, five hundred, &c) maybe they should name something the Ford failure. I'm sure it would fit right in with their lineup of cars- they could add fake vents, and *gasp* a novel idea- a fake engine!

the new focus = FAIL.

Honestly the best thing to do when u see something like that. i to wait for the owner to walk towards the car, point to the VTEC sticker asking "what is that on there for", and before he has a chance to reply..... just punch the living **** out of that guy, and leave him for someone else to find. hell maybe just piss on him after beating his ass. definately what a dumb **** like that needs done. And to whoever says the focus looks good.... man, smoke another one. id rather drive ur grandma to work than drive that thing there. u are the one with ur FOCUS way off.

Dude... Seriously? I mean, being a ricer means that you should get knocked out and covered in urine?
