I bet that turbo Focus is actually pretty fast if they did it right. Of course I can do without the APC stuff on it, ugh!

How can you see the gauges on the eclipse on the other door? That just doesn't make sense

True. I think the guy that did that eclipse rode the short buss or something.

As far as the focus goes, I agree. But they could probably shave a good 2 or 3 seconds off of it by removing all the CRAP. Can we say "too damn heavy"?
