Stolen car

[surprise_i'm_armed]

"My apartment was broken into.

They stole everything I owned....

and replaced it with exact duplicates."

Your insurance will be going up, even before the first ticket.

Yip, a whopping $7 every month,

I too would be very upset that they left me with an underpowered and unamerican car. I would be glad they took the last one with them. I suggest you push it out in to the street if it will not start and leave the keys hanging in the door. Also write in big letters on the glass "PLEASE BRING ME A FORD"

but thats just my opinion.

now that I have bashed on the import. They are fun little cars to drive.

Underpowered?

I can't leave the keys in the door, with keyless start and all

I've owned a few fords in my day, and the acronym "Found On Road Dead" matches them to a T... or an F for that matter.

This actually scared me for half a second before I realized you were just kidding....being that we're neighbors and all.
congrats

I didn't mean to scare ya. Hopefully the bantids strike your place too, with whatever you have your eye on

I am confused. Isn't MazdaSpeed an oxymoron?

exactly...like "Built Ford Tough" and "Dodge Ram".

I had a friend in high school who rammed his Dodge into a tree.

I like imports, but I like V8's too. Motorcycles make me happy as well. Wouldn't mind an SRT10 either. Just wish I had more money for such things.

Ford has it's paws in some of the stuff, and I don't know about the 2.0 or 2.5, but the 2.3 Turbocharged in mine I'm 99% sure is japanese mazda.

Doesn't Ford own Mazda? Or didn't they use to?

I'm not sure what became of that merger, but it did happen. The Ford Probe had a mazda engine and they seemed to "share" parts between the companies around the same time.

The Mazda B2000 pickup truck and the Ford Courier were pretty much one and the same. I had a little underpowered Courier back in the 80s and that sucker ran forever.

Ford owned part of mazda, not the whole company. So like the above poser said, they shared some parts/engines but mazda is still it's own company.

either way, the speed3s are pretty slick little cars. Congrats on the new go fast toy.

posTer, them t's are sneaky.

all kidding aside. The speed 3 is a neat little ride. I almost bought one for my wife. She opted for a mustang.
As a Ford tech I am forced to say buy a ford.
