Fairly certain it is a ford focus. Given that the company (More likely guy in his garage) is in the U.S.

Yep,
You are right.
I admit defeat.
I saw some guy with a giant spoiler on an 03-ish Galant. It's a front wheel drive car. He also had black spray painted rims, and was lowered to where he probably couldn't go over a speed bump.

lol wtf
its a week old thread and i can clearly tell whats the picture says, and whats in the picture in the picture
I still don't know what the fuck is a diesel engine
its basically the same as a gas engine except there are no spark plugs. the piston compresses the air until its really hot, then fuel is added, so it burns, pushing the piston back down
its more technical and theres a couple of things i think i got wrong, like the fuel part, but thats basically it
i have a 20 mega hertz cpu in my ford mustang
How many people have asked me if my car is turbo'd, after running around with no front bumper and a big shiny FMIC glaring at them. [i]Really?[/i]
That they have to ask makes me wonder how they even know what a turbocharger is.
i kind of want to drive around without my front bumper to accentuate my front mount lol

At school there was a civic parked with a big intercooler up front with no hoses connected. I don't think he had the turbo [i]yet[/i].......

That thing is surging like hell. I also commented.
I know everything about cars. My car has a 25 inch chrome rims so it goes p. much faster than any other car. Also welded spindles right on to the chassis so max. stability at turns. Added a v12 sound as well so my car is now 600 hp with a turbocharger. Rate me artistic.
