My '98 ZX2!!!!
I tried to move to Detroit with it, but some dolt pulled a u-turn in front of me, and I swerved and whacked a tree. It did $7000 worth of damage to my car, and she says, get this ,"I'm sorry!" If my car would have moved, I would have driven it into her car, while she stood by, and said, "I'm REALLY, REALLY, sorry..." It wouldn't have proven anything, but I would have felt better. It only had 6000 miles on the odometer. But I got it fixed, and it still runs pretty good. And it's still pretty..ehehehe
Ford replaced the Escort line with the Focus, so I'm not sure how much longer they will produce the ZX2, but I hope they don't scratch it. It's a great car to drive, and it looks good to top it all off.
As soon as I get pictures of my '99, I'll be posting them here, so be sure to check back.
