Ford Focus/Chevy Truck 3-way bling bling

I was coming home from work last night and i was on my way to pick up a few friends..I was going pretty fast around 75-80ish and i hurd a huge waaaaaaaaahhhh coming up beside me..I look beside me and a tannish Ford Focus sedan with no hub caps blows by me...Iam like "oh hell no"..I floor it and iam right behind him in no time...I was beggining to switch over to the left lane to pass him and the bastard swerved into my lane causing me to make a blind cut-over to the leftmost lane nearly cutting off a Chevy Truck.....The Truck was now involved and blew by totally blowing the doors off the Focus...The bastid in the Focus slowed down leaving me alone to fight off the truck that he almost made me hit..The truck was tailgating me even though i was going well over 100+plus and finally switched lanes and passed me...surprisingly he didnt flip me the bird and strangely the driver smiled at me as he flew by me???

Pat notes:
Ghetto Focus trys to show me up,resulting in me chasing him down and attempts to take me down with him by nearly killing me
pisses off a Chevrolet Truck.....Truck kills the Focus....and flys by me going at least 110MPH and smiles at me??........talkin about two birds one stone

Re: Ford Focus/Chevy Truck 3-way bling bling

Meh, good death. I've lost to a few trucks in my area. Not to mention my buddy Dustins Ford. Things a beast, and it doesn't take much to eek out the torque and hp on the newer trucks these days.

As for the Focus, I can't stand them. Quite a few in my area that think they own an SVT focus. Then ya kill em' and put em in their place. Meh....anyway. L8...

Re: Ford Focus/Chevy Truck 3-way bling bling

SVT Focus's arent much faster then the standard ZX3. In other words...its dud.

BTW, how do you race so many people? I know, If i see a Mustang I think to myself "Wow, I wanna race that", then I get closer and see its a V6, and i'm like "nevermind.." Even with my straight pipes, and lowered stance, it still doesnt provoke even the ricers. I cant get anyone to try to race me.

The new Saleen N20 Focus does the 1/4 in 14.6 with nitrous...the SVTs are corner carvers, not all out fast cars. Even then, I dunno, I'd rather take an SRT4 to go corner carving if I had to have a FWD.

Same way I do in a stock 325i. Just be ready for anything.

Re: Ford Focus/Chevy Truck 3-way bling bling

Why does a SVT Focus that comes with stock 17" wheels not hub caps on? The Focus is pretty fast for a small car, but mostly about handling.

The Focus didn't make you do anything, you're the one who decided to race. Just be thankful the guy was what seemed to be a fairly good sport and only beat you in racing than beat your ass.

I know if I had a truck, I'd mash the gas if I saw somebody like you swerve into my lane. Let's see how you do against a 6100lb diesel powered truck. G'bye rear quarter panels.

Thats how I do it in my dads truck Some one cuts me off I just get realy close to em to make them little nervous. Like one time in a parking lot a 1500 Hemi Ram comes flying down the lane opposite direction I am and starts to cut in front of me to get a parking spot I was trying to leave the parking lot and he thinks hes gong to get it before me. I wanted till the last second to hit the breaks as I watch his eyes get really big as he realizes I got a good 1500lbs on him in a F-250 crewcab, longbed Diesel. Fun times
