But yes... there is just something awesome about driving a turbo, haha.

No one knows what kind of the fuel the car will use yet. Kia has 2.0 DI injected turbocharges inline four that makes 270HP while running on 87. HP rumors are around 180 for the 1.6 which is possible on regular gas.

This guy will seriously have to impress me for me to even consider buying a ford.

You're 33, tells the sales person to piss off and will you call them over when you want to go for a test drive. They give a rats ass which car is actually better for you they just want a sale. Do not relay on them on for any information, heck you're better off searching google for an answer than asking a salesmen.

So,..... I went to the ford dealer this morning. I set up an appointment to amuse myself. Just to see what they could do for me. I really didnt think anything was going to happen. Well,... I am friggin impressed. First,... I sat inside the new focus hatchback. Its like being inside the cockpit of a spaceship! The first words out of my mouth was,... holy shit. Swear. There was such much coolness there I could barely contain myself. A color LCD between the cool looking tach and speedo. The my touch screen with all the other colorful buttons and shit I have no idea what they all do. It looks damn cool!

Anyways,... this guy found me the very car I wanted. He got me a bangin apr and monthly payment as well. Everything I wanted, no problems. I cant believe it went that well and that easy.

Im getting a black titanium focus,.... with EVERYTHING. Everything. It has so much shit I dont even know all of it off the top of my head. Im as happy as a fat rat. They will have the car on the lot this monday. But toyota wont be giving my check till thursday Hopefully by that friday the check will clear my account. Fingers crossed.
