i wanted to get another one, and i actually did got one exactly liek i wanted, a black lx, just liek my previous, just auto matic. but i got it for FREE!... as it sat.. i realized i wanted to try something else, but i loved the platform and knew so much about it. So i got me a escort GT.. everyone hates escorts.. but the potential for the GT is jsut as high as any car. It all pays off when u get it how u want... and u get bombarded with questions..and questions. and u actually do something noone has ever done before..

and OWN A CAR THAT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE ANYONE ELSES, BUT PEFORMS BETTER!!!

i think the problem is originality today, which is killing the "tuner" culture. People tend to want to do waht other people do, and are afraid to be original. Its almost sickening to how many evos/stis/240's grace car magazines.. i know everyone is tired of seeing these cars. There all the same. i dont knock people for messing with popular cars, but alot of them are just following trends.
PICS OF BOTH NOW I LOVE THOSE CARS
