If anyone was ever confused about why Ford is having financial problems, let me help you understand. My new car was in a very minor but unfortunate altercation with a certain GMC Yukon. While having it fixed, I've had the luxury of renting a white lawnmower disguised as a Ford Focus. The car is a complete piece of garbage and I think all it would take to total the car (and me!!) would be to hit a curb. Call me a snob, but I thought all cars these days came with door lock remotes. I think the last time I had to manually unlock a car door was when I drove a big brown 1983 Buick Regal in high school! On the interstate the other day I was trying to merge into traffic and almost got hit by an 18 wheeler after I floored the gas and...voila!....nothing happened. I can't believe Ford would mass produce a car as horrible as the Focus. I can't believe somebody would actually buy one. You could take the same money and buy a good used Honda or Toyota and rest assured that the car would run better, be much safer, and have neat features like...oh I don't know....a door lock remote!! Sadly, my love affair with the Ford Focus will end tomorrow when I get my real car back. ~sniff~
