Maybe he just reads and doesn't reply much.

 

Yeah I'm just saying it's weird that he posts a goodbye thread if he just reads.

 

Just because you sold your Focus there isn't any need to leave FJ since some others have traded out of theirs and still remain active on the board including myself plus some have never even owned a Focus.Remember FJ is much more then just talking about the Focus,it is a full community.

 

I traded my Focus for a Silverado, and stayed on here still. At least you stayed in the Ford family

I agree.

 

I have a Ranger now..im not going anywhere.

oh well

I just read....i never post ever....

plus i drive a protege 5 ....and im still here.....by far the best board on earth is this one(and i have visited many).

DONT LEAVE

 

I know of at least one member here that has never (too my knowledge) has had a Focus.
So just because you got rid of yours doesn't seem like a reason to leave.

Which reminds me, I need to see whats going on over at the Ranger Station.

 

SOLONG

I know, it was still funny to me.

 

THIS IS MY LAST POST. JUST TRADED MY ZX3 FOR A ESCAPE. THE FOCUS WAS A GOOD CAR AS LONG AS IT WAS OUT OF THE SHOP. 4 RECALLS, RACK AND PINON REPLACED, TWO SETS OF SWAY BAR END LINKS, AND CONSTANT NOICE FROM THE REAR END. I DECEIVED IT WAS TIME TO CUT MY LOSES. LATER ...

Why do some people feel the need to make these morose announcements?

If you're involved in this site, you'd never really want to leave even if a Ford Focus was no longer in the driveway.

QuickSilverZX3, you are more than welcome to continue posting here; I believe the only real guideline is an interest in the Focus, not actual ownership.


Having said that, I must take exception to parts of your LAST POST...

I haven't looked for any info on which model year Focus you had, but it sounds like a 2000 or 2001 which suffered some build-quality issues. Hence the recalls...

As far as having the steering rack replaced, unless that was also a recall or a TSB (though steering parts should be recalled if defective), then it may have suffered some abuse at the hands of a previous owner.

Swaybar endlinks? I don't know, those are some pretty simple parts to install and inspect; I suspect someone with not much mechanical aptitude was responsible for that one.

Noise from the rear end? Endlinks, shock absorber mounting points, loose control arm bolt, worn bushings, etc...take your pick; all relatively easy to diagnose and repair.

I think you said that you deceived or were deceived?

About what? Disappointed, maybe. But deceived?

He meant "decided."

Hooked On Phonics DID NOT work for him.

BUT THE CAPS LOCK KEY SURE DID.

Seriously I don't care if 100% of the people that makes these posts ever come back. If they really feel this way than sucks for them. I'm sure we'll be missing a world of intelligent, informative posts.

Good riddance.

I agree. I sold my ZX3 and bought a BMW last October and I'm still here. It's the people, not the cars, that give you a reason to stay.

 

Lose the CAPS, not the Jet! Priorities!

Didn't we have the same thing with a guy that "upgraded" to an Impala. Only had 20 posts or so.

Anyway, have fun with the Escape. Too bad the Focus wasn't good to you.

J.

 

The only Focus I have is on hot chicks and beer.

 

I don't have a Focus, but the interface of the forums are easy to read and the people on here are entertaining and the information in invaluable. Alot of the aspects on this forum are directly applicable to other cars as well.
