I have a little over 256,000 on my 2014 ford focus. Knock on wood, I've never had any major problems with it. Replaced two O2 sensors on it and had to fix the wiring harness. It rubbed through and shorted two wires. The engine would randomly shut off while driving and come up with an engine...
Thanks. I might switch the wheels on that one though since it has the 20s. I'll be using it for going to work which is a 50 minute drive... I keep seeing people doing the two tone and I like that a lot too.

I'm curious about the locking/unlocking with the fob. That would be nice but it does look like a point for key there too.
Slate gave me a call this past Friday. The girl I had talked to said to be on the look out for more released information shortly. That they were on track with the demolition and such at the plant. Also that more dates for Slate to state would be released end of September, early October. I'm...
I'm sure a lot of the alignment stuff will be cleaned up on the production models. As for the markers, that's a different story. Haha There was a thread somewhere on here about changing the lenses to clear on those as well.
