My 1st New Car

[FydaForte]

A Little short intro..

Im 21 and this is my first new car...

Recent Car was a 2002 focus and it dropped a valve seat!!! soooo i tossed it in the garbage! *soldit*

Heres a pic.. sorry for the wierd effects i was screwing with my phone camera!

hahaha.. I traded in my 2002 Focus for my Forte too!

Welcome!

Well Gwild... your actually lucky you sold it before it self destructed like mine did...

Dropping the valve seat @ 40mph destroys the engine...
and 8 out of 10 those lil ford 2.0's go at one point... those engines are garbage and VERY expensive due to high demands... i found a used 90k engine for about $1300 by me??? and i wasnt gonna spend that much on an engine that blew up on me in the first place lol... anywhoo after my rant... i LOVE the forte...

hey Fyda, congrats on the new ride man! looks EXACTLY like mine, except mine's Spicy Red

Thanks man... mines silver if you cant tell in the picture...

Bought it straight off the truck.. when i saw it it was wrapped in plastic and dust and foam protection.. it took about an hour to detail it.. im the 1st to drive it which is cool... my 1st car so i love it..

Plans are to tint it, blck out the tail lights, get some black rims later!

Well that was the main reason I got rid of mine.. It was just shedding parts... I can't believe after only 150K this car was completely destroyed..

I guess the newer focus's have worked the kinks out... but NO THANKS!!! LOL

kida scares me with the forte's tho... the 02 focus was a 1st generation in which they worked out kinks too... same with the forte! uh oh?

its the same 2.0 out of the spectra, and the same 2.4 as the optima, so all kinks should be worked out

I dont want the "First of its kind" to be the last!

dont worry- they've been ironing out kinks for about 10 years with our 2.0's
