Weekend is over...what did you get done?

Traded in my DD today for a new DD. Signed the papers on a 2013 Focus ST. I won't take delivery until Monday as the one I wanted (performance blue in color) was in VA and had to be brought in.

Monday evening can't come soon enough!

I wonder why you would trade a Honda product for a ford. But your a smart guy so im sure there is a good reason :D

Because my Honda product was having issues at 70K that I absolutely refused to deal with. Clutch rattled like hell when it was warm, and had some other bearing noises coming from the front that I suspect were internal to the transmission as well. It was good to me during the time I had it, but time for something else. My opinion, the best engineered import of the major ones (Honda - Toyota - Nissan) is a Toyota, hands down (and i'm sure you'll agree with me there :). My gripe with the new Toyota's is...there's no style to them!

Plus i'm a Ford man at heart, and damn glad to be getting into one. My parents liked the Focus so much, they bought one yesterday with me :D

And the ST has turbo!
 
Picked up the new DD today:

More pics to come tomorrow when I get home from work. It's got a couple of paint issues that need to be corrected at the dealer, but i'm beyond excited to have it. I don't think i've stopped grinning since 4:30 today...
 
The regular ones can be had in a 2 door. The ST only comes in a 4 door and only in a hatchback.

Unless you're in Europe then you get the focus RS 2 door......:bs:
 
Jealous of that new ride UNCC-Wife won't let me get a hatchback so I settled for a Volvo S60 T5 Sedan. Great minus the hot ass leather when I park it outside.

Side note-just picked up R134a and a new battery for the XJ-Ignition cylinder on order-mine broke and I pulled the key out leaving it in on. Cell went out in the battery.
 
Hatchbacks rock! There's not many performance blue ST's around yet, so if you see one on 85 one day, chances are it's me.
 
Today was a cool day. Went and picked up Tim's mom's KJ for Cobbler Chris's sister. She was looking to upgrade from her Ford Tempo and the timing was perfect. The KJ is exactly what she wanted and needs. She was so exciting to come home from work and see it in the driveway.

I have started a paperwork process to go back to App State to finish my bachelors, aiming to restart in the spring. Also finally put a NAXJA sticker on the YJ, there is not much space to put one rear facing!
 
Last night was a sad night.

The lift, wheels, tires, winch and any modifications I'd made to the red Jeep had to come off.

All stock suspension, tires and wheels are going back on it.

Looks pretty pitiful here.
