I think I need to stop driving the Speed 3

I bought my speed3 to replace my beater... but with gas prices the way they are and the Focus still a useful car, I'm thinking of keeping it as well. I beat the piss out of that car and it never does me wrong. Also nice to not care about door dings (had em when I bought it) or scratches from throwing stuff in the hatch. It's ALWAYS nice to have a decent car that you don't care much about so you can have that run gauntlets of shitting pigeons, shopping carts, and drunks leaving the bars.
 
I definitely do NOT plan to drive the MS3 in another winter, but 8 months out of the year it will be my daily driver.

The CAI sounds so good I'm driving the car every chance I get now! Last week I used 1/4 tank in a 38-mile trip. Flying down the empty highway at 1 AM. Damn this car is fun.
 
mine is a daily driver ! still get abotu the same gas milage as my escort did. maybee a little less. and i drive noce. and play once in a awhile. The scort i ran hard all the time!
But the scort is a paid off car! wasnt worth trading in. Just waiting for funds to have fun with it. its the play car (when its doen it will be faster than the speed3 lol thats the goal! )

but for now drive speed 3!

Exactly. I try to drive nicely...but hard in that car. Yeah my bank account is feeling the $3.27 a gallon right now.
only 3.27??!! im paying 4.01$!!! plus with the intake on it, it doesnt make it easy to drive..lol
 
LIFE'S SHORT! Drive the little beastie! (burnout) I mean when you're on your death bed, will you regret that extra mile or 2 in the boring beater or regret not zoomin in your 3?
Way better Mileage than my Rotaries, more carry room and stealthier than my track car all stickered up! Problem is the wife's a bit possesive of the Speed3... go figure.. comfy practical, decent mileage and can embarass Barvarian Money Wagons and Porsches w/o tryin... or my loud, uncomfortable, blatant street legal (sorta) race car. Girlz,(lol) so hard to figure out!

i just bought my ms3 the gas is killing me but i dont know how ill ever get back in that grand am of mine beacuse it was ment to be primary car and then have ms3 for weekend and any day i need a turbo indused smile
 
I was thinking about getting a moped after i got my speed3. Just to drive to and from work.. then hit the streets at night with my speed3. I live in hawaii and the drive to and from work isn't very far, the moped would just save me the traffic bump and grind gas. Plus it would be moderately amusing to drive.

Premium gas in Hawaii = $3.50... on a good day.

Aren't you lucky, I pay almost $3.80. Chicago really does have the highest has prices around when Hawaii is $3.50!
