Ford owners look out

in europe, the escort and focus are actually badass cars. the cosworth escort was a beast, and the focus ST and RS are nice cars. plus now ford is offering a nice diesel focus in europe. no clue why Ford never offered these cars in the states.
 
time to let my preferences outta the closet......

chevy trucks.....cheap parts if needed, almost available at the damn grocery store

and VOLKSWAGEN cars, i've had 6 of them 2 GTI's, a scirroco with 285,000 miles, a fox, and 2 jettas, one with 185,000 on it, and my fav being the GLI 2.0 16v model < it would smoke every naturally aspirated civic, accord, and neon it ran, ford didnt even make anything i remember even closely hangin with me during them days,
wait was that an escort disappearing in my rearveiw ??

i beat the living piss outta every one of them cars, and sold them all still running strong
german engineering for me !!!!!!!!
 
i personally have a 93 acura integra. 170,000 miles as of right now and still running beautifully. and i get 33mpg. i bought it with 150,000 miles on it, and since i've had it, it's seen the rev limiter many many times. and haven't had a problem with it yet. that little b18 is taking my abuse like a champ
 
I liked my beetle when i had it.. VW is all about options.... I drive a lexus now..and parts are cheap as all hell from japan..... but like i say.. i have drove a lot of trucks.. all makes and models in all lifestages..anything 5 years and newer basically... and the backseat of a limited tundra is like a limo... I love that truck... you guys should drive one and tell me its not a nice ride....
