Another $500 into my car...

Sigh... I guess my car takes some special exhaust converter which costs $400, + the $100 for the o2 sensor.
Man o man, I'm broke again and feel like I'm not going to get out of this fucking hole AND support my wife finishing her PhD. God damn it she better pull in bank when she is a doc. ARG!!!!!!!!!!!
The car is up at peak performance again and the mileage is back too. I'd rather be financially secure though.
Just venting...

Haha, the car is super sweet. I HAD to get that fixed too, it wasn't like a luxury thing. Sigh. Thanks, I feel better. I guess I'll have to buckle down and work harder...
If I hadn't of gotten it fixed my engine could have caught fire, fun, fun.

The smart cars are only for city driving, down town areas and what not. I would not go on the highway in them.

2000 focus zx3.

The 2.0 DoHC VCT engine, not the shitty 2002+ engine. 12psi intercooled SC, chip, exhaust, rims, system, blah.
I like cars.

I can take pics but I did no paint/effects work. It's just stock paint. I would rather it look stock, makes those red light races that much more fun (and I'm a cheap ass).

I absolutely love flying at 100+mph w/ good music. It's mainly the music, speed comes second.
Tell ya what I'll try to make a vid getting up to 70mph here in SLC. I can't promise the quality will be good since this would be the 1st video I have ever made...
