    Uhhhhhh no. I want this... dlacentra_med_hr.jpeg

    But needing a cheap daily driver with airbags and is also too slow to get me in trouble but still absolutely fun to drive built this for under 3500 bucks including the price of the car. image000000_18-03.jpeg

    I just wish we'd gotten every focus RS that Europe got. They were better than the SVTs. Luckily we got the mk3 version.

    Yep. Grew up right in the middle of the muscle car era. Started with a nice 65' Mercury Comet Caliente, then to a 1967 Ford Fairlane GTA with a 390cid, then went to a 1968 Mercury Cougar with a 427cid w-390hp and then to a 1967 Ford Mustang GTA with a 390cid. Nothing like a rumble of a big block and a dad that knew how to mod them. Unfortunately the gas crisis came along and it time to go economical for college so I went to a little VW bug (modified, lol). Thankfully the custom Van craze came along and went in that direction with a couple of Vans that were customized and in some Truck and Van shows, but always miss that muscle car era.

    I had a new focus.. for a few weeks until i traded it in for the crv. I couldnt fit comfortably in it. Mostly issues with just being too low to the ground and getting in and out was hard. We are both big guys. How do you fit in it comfortably? Did you mod out?

    I work from home about 3 days/week. Love being home when my kids get home. As many hours as I work, I love having a flexible schedule that allows me to handle my shit from home. If I had to be to office everyday, with the hours I work, I’d never see my kids.

    When I give a speech about the gig economy / solopreneurship, this is my opening line:

    "When you work from home, there is good news and bad news. The good news is - you see your kids a lot. The bad news is, you see your kids a lot!"

    My daughter graduated Seattle U last year. This year she is tutoring Chinese elementary students in English via Skype. Pays very well, but odd, very later night hours.

    I have short legs for my height. The headroom is great and there is very little center console so my legs don't rub up against it.

    The Recaro seats are the best seats I've ever sat in. Even being bigger than they were designed for they're still awesome. Most recaros or seats like them are too small.
