I think you forgot it's a car, let alone a FOCUS, let alone an AWD FOCUS.

 

Cars are meant to be driven.

 

Everything I have and will ever own will be driven in all seasons...

I didn't forget, I'm just pissed I don't have a 40k winter beater.

Come on Kelso, rack up another burn.

Not sure if serious, or hit head hard enough to become retarded.

Fixed for you Jones.

I mean. Maybe its a price point thing. Maybe I'm just poor, but I would be pissed if someone wrecked my shit and I had to keep a car that someone else ruined for me.

Nah, I just forgot what CR really is. Feels good though.

I think a lot of you guys are missing the point of the RS when comparing it to a Mustang GT350. This is an all-purpose daily driver that can be used at the track on the weekend and then take the owner to work on Monday. Plus, you'll have your AWD to contend with the snow that will be coming in a few months. It's going to be the commuter that hauls ass, like an STI or a Golf R. I doubt you'll see many GT350s, or even GTs for that matter, sitting in rush hour on 270 when it's snowing.

Only a potato would take their 40k Focus out for snowy/icy winter traffic in Columbus.

Also, At what power level does the AWD system become equally sketchy in snow? Yah yah yah, AWD is the king dick of snow driving. If you don't drive responsibly, it will just be that much more dangerous. Just sayin, when all 4 wheels are spinning, you change lanes that much quicker.

I live near Tega Cay, right off the I-77 and Gold Hill Rd exit just south of Charlotte.

Oh neat, I was expecting you to say somewhere further south. :thumbup: I live out just north of 160 out by 521, pretty much Ballantyne/Fort Mill/Indian Land. The only thing I have never liked about Gold Hill is the traffic that backs up during peak hours.

all I can say is I REALLY hope they didn't cut corners on the quality control side of this, because on the automotive side its just rediculius on all the issues they're having

Honestly I use the harbor freight ones or the ones the snap on sockets come in

 

The harbor freight ones do break over time but they work great.

 

Wrenches I use Cornwell wrench organizers they slip In and out easier than others I've tried.

+1, my snap on sockets stay in their magnetic bases, sizes I need often get flipped over for easy selecting. Common adapters and sockets without a home go on a strong magnetic strip (kind of strong where you wont get it off a flat magnetic surface without a prybar).

I have been getting a great deal on the magnetic strips that I have, because my snap on dealer has tons of them laying around. They are off their old truck, the strips that hold tools to the ceiling.

I absolutely love my 3/8 impact swivels, select sizes of magnetic sockets and my milwaukee 1/4 inch electric ratchet.

Some people have gotten blocks, some have gotten just rings.

Being on the actual physically involved side, I am well aware. I meant for your vehicle. Just thought I might be able to give you insight on what to expect.

If you think thats bad check out the 08-10 V6 VCM misfire lawsuit... Supposedly fixed for my 2011 but I'm keeping an eye on it.

My mom just had her 2007 civic block replaced for free due to a crack leaking coolant. They fought with her.

 

Her very next service lindsay honda said she needs

 

Coolant flush (obviously was just replaced

Valve cover gasket (was just removed to pull head, when I said something the service writer said they removed the engine from the bottom and never removed the valve cover)

 

Also hit her with a brake fluid flush because it's causing uneven pad wear.

Shit has a floating cylinder head, yo.

The best way to stop doing something is to stop doing it.

Get out of here with your logical thinking.

:thumbup:

Did you see the 500 round test they did with it? They blast through the mag as fast as possible at the end and it looks just like any other gun to me.

No, and to be honest I'm not going to watch it based on the first 5 shots of hand held firing. It's a neat show piece at this point, but who is going to buy a gun that needs firing 500+ times to have a smooth operation.

Now maybe they are trying to prove a point by testing it and braking it in like they have. Maybe they will finesse the parts before retailing them.

You know others were thinking it.

The Action of this weapon is smooth and consistent. :jerkit:

Fuck it, I am literally going to quote my post from last night in the kitchen music thread. I had not seen this thread down here in pics and vids.:ninja:

I really did not like some of their heavier dub/bro step songs until I watched the Krewlife series.

hipster alert

I am not even sure of the definition of 'hipster', therefor I cannot determine the percentage of truth in your reply.

Sick burn...

And if he doesn't try to run over the cops he doesn't get shot.

Hear lights and sirens knowing that you've done nothing 'wrong' (not giving any reason for police attention), pull over, either get arrested or released into parent custody equals still alive.
