Hoping to find a decent F series with a 5.8 and minimal rust and suspension lift.

1992 Ford Explorer Sport 4x4 5spd. 307000kms on the body, 60000kms on engine, rocker panels rusted out, runs like a champ!

I work from home so dont really need a winter car, we have the Explorer if I really need to go out and if doing anything for work I will just rent a car

'03 Focus ZX3. 2.0 DOHC, 5-speed man., one option (A/C). Manual seats, manual mirrors, manual locks, no keyless entry, no tilt steering, no center console, no cruise control. Just A/C. :headbang:

02 escort zx2, it doesnt even have A/C^^^, but i used to use my old 95 gt, all it took was some $800 tires and she turned into a snow bunny!...maybe a snow puma....

Seems like we have one of these threads every once in a while, at any rate I'll play...

2004 Lexus IS 300, currently 30k and change. It's more like a daily driver than a winter beater as I drive it year-round.

Stock:

With the winter wheels/tires:

More Daily Driver than Winter Beater... of course winters aren't bad here so it doesn't make much difference.

05 SRT4

thanks bro.

Its modded very little. Big intercooler, a cheapo cold air intake, and a non-working BOV which is got to be changed asap. Its quick and boost is really addictive. I like it. It doesn't feel as fast as the Mustang but I know it is a CRAPTON faster. I love it.
