Re: biggest waste of money ever

Are you like thread happy or something?

I thought what I was looking at was an Escort but I was trying to doubt myself cause I was hoping no one was that dumb.

Re: biggest waste of money ever

Actually I don't mind that car. Granted I'd never buy it or probably drive it, but for an escort he did a decent job. Take off that wing and maybe those graphics, and it's a cool lookin car. I think he did a great job for it being an Escort and all.

Re: biggest waste of money ever

It's all right.. for a domestic I like how the interior is all done up, but the steering wheel is still stock and sticks out so much.

Re: biggest waste of money ever

I like how on his next post he writes "do you know how hard it is to tell someone you drive an escort?" Haha, I thought that was funny. But seriously, if he took off that wing and put on a nice universal low spoiler, that'd be a sweet ride (I still wouldn't drive it though)

Re: biggest waste of money ever

My thoughts exactly. The interior is kinda tacky, but I like the body work for the most part (except that wing, not for that car).

Re: biggest waste of money ever

I'm not a ford fan by any means... but I'd have to say that is impressive. I'd also say that's the nicest Escort I've ever seen. Also, to squeeze 300hp out of it, damn... 2.0 that puts out no more than 130 stock (if it was ZX2)...

still don't know that I'd wanna drive it though...
