Jhonda has a little shameless behaviour in the past
My svt focus vs 2002 SI, 90 somethin jetta turbo




I went to the mountains today and on the way up there there were to cars who tried to race me,
The first one was a late 90s model getta turbo with a exhaust of some kind think it was a thermal...but anyways we went from a role at about 60mph to about 120mph with me constantly pulling on him by the end of the race I had about 3 car lengths on him.
Now on the way back from the mountains the there was a 2002 civic SI with blue tint and cleared out lights and sidemarkers...etc So I rev next to him and he jumps behind me even with him in my draft I still pulled about 4 or 5 car lengths on him from 50 to about 110mph. It was fun.

But I was really amazed at the way my car handled through the mountains I had alot of fun

Yes our side markers are clear. The lenses on our headlights are clear too. Just an amber bulb inside.

Hmm... SVT Focus vs those cars? Did they think they had much of a chance? I've actually thought about getting an RS Focus every time I drive past a Ford dealer.
