Yeah a brand new one none the less. I wanted to whip my car around and run his vette off the road. Idiots

You are probably the only one there with a true car. Lol

beats the hell out of me..found them years ago on partsforyourcar.com after i bought the GA when i was looking for crap to do with it.

iirc the ones on PFYC were more expensive like in the 65-70 range. considering the whole front bra is only like $90 your getting screwed..

[Kayaus]

So sanding by hand royally sucks

[sleepyalero]

Yeah agreed.

And must be nice to be outside with decent weather.

[Kayaus]

Not my ideal weather, it was supposed to snow, but thankfully didn't today, just some drizzle.



Have to call it quits for today, I'll try to bust it out next weekend when I have paint and everything together.

[sleepyalero]

Wow. Just wow. We have a "bonus" room (half attic is finished) and 1800 sq ft w/out basement/attic, 1/4 acre, and we got it for 60 and taxes are 1400 a year.

Holy cow. But our house was built in '03.... Nineteen 03

I don't think the GA is much bigger then the Focus , I think what you're trying to say is that you would rather have a coupe. Since coupes feel bigger on the inside because of 2 less doors.

Fiesta is 503 lbs lighter than the Focus, if you are comparing manual to manual. The Focus ST is 3223 lbs. Fiesta is 197hp/202ft/lbs advertised and Focus is 252hp/270ft/lbs advertised. That's 13.8 lbs per hp for the Fiesta and 12.7 lbs per hp for the Focus so it has a better power to weight ratio. Also the interior cargo space on the Focus is 23.8 cu/ft or 44.8 with the seats down. The Fiesta is only 10.1 and 25.4. Passenger volume on the Focus is 90.7 and the Fiesta is 85.1.

Those are some major differences and that's what I'm getting at. If you have to haul more than two people ever, or need room to bring stuff home in your car ever, the Fiesta is gonna be a real tight fight. It's a good deal for what you pay, but I'd rather pay the extra for a Focus personally and have more space and HP. I'm not even that big a guy but I don't fit as well in my moms car which is comparable in size. And yes, the grand am is definitely a bigger car. Interior volume is 107.3 cu/ft and 14.6 in the trunk, and if you put the rear seats down you can fit some pretty big stuff in it.

Stupid people like this really annoy me. This is what happens when 3800 and r!ce boy talk about supercharging a grand am:

Ya I understand, there also a factor about the Recaro seats, no matter the Fiesta or Focus people say they're a tight fit, no matter if you're "fit" or slender, like a try before you buy thing.

I wouldn't mind having either, I try to look at reviews and opinions and 95% love the Fiesta for DD and driveability wise. Motortrend has a whole comparison for the 0-60s, skid pad, figure 8s etc.
