Didn't miss much man. It's not even humorous at this point. What a load of crap. It's hard to _____ about it without sounding like I'm saying she won because she's a girl... but if a duck craps on your shoe, it's hard to explain it without mentioning feathers.

Rules for Customizing a Ford Focus to win:

1) Remove any and all evidence you're working with a Ford.

Yeah it still hurts... Still payin for parts we bought for that stupid car. And I cant help but think the production crew had a something to do with the delay in all our parts, but whatever.

We saw lori at the NY auto show and she told us our car wasnt on tour... So we called Flex's office and they said we could pic up the car at some whole in the wall in the bronx. Now knowin our car doesnt have a roof, you would think they would put a car cover on it or plastic anything to maybe protect the interior a lil bit... Nope, our car was parked under a hole in the roof so the lime green leather looked like something that would come outta ur ___ after eatin a lot of broccoli lol. And if that wasnt enought the two fenders were cracked cuz they tried to turn the wheel with the airbags slamed... So I said all that to say, No! ur car will not be in the same condition it left in.

Guess we both learned a valuable lesson... If you go into another reality tv show like this where drama is more important then talent, make sure your money isnt wrapped up in any of it. Personally I will never take part in a reality show again just because of the feeling of violation you feel once your done.

Lowered vehicles... Wide tires..... played out ? That's news to me. Better tell the Germans, the Japanese, and the Italians before their sales drop...

Oh wait... They aren't dropping!

I'm skimming the shows now, just skipping to the blue team's inputs. Looks like SYNC is just a bad ripoff of OnStar.

I really don't know what Ford is thinking when they designed this car... I mean, seriously... Could I write a letter from the Scion Community ?

The Germans and Japanese Listen to there customers un-like ford that listens to there CEO's no wonder why the youth market has escaped them. Ford makes decent cars for the European market that we will never get in the states because ford thinks we want lame cars. we decided to add a little bit of a European and Japanese styling to the DT40 wile keeping the American feel; but I guess by looking at the ford adds on the focus they are aiming this car at young women so we didn't stand a chance.

WOW that sucks I guess thats what we should expect from those people. We are expecting to have to repair the car. I think the fact that they did'nt show your car is a bunch of BULL$#!T!

Not really mad about it, cuz we didnt want people to see the car after they got their hands on it... I imagine thats why they keep your windows closed where ever they go, to ensure they dont eff up ur interior too...
