Hey guys whatsup? Im Mike from Poughkeepsie. I know i dont have anywhere near the fastes car out there, but im working on it lol. I have a black 2008 Focus coupe 5 speed. Only things i have done to it right now are CFM Short shifter, FSWERKS Cold air intake, and a FSWERKS engine cover. I dont have any recent pics, but heres a couple i do have:

If anyone was at Ultimate Street last year at Dutchess Airport, yea, i was in the black focus running haha. Like i said, i know its not fast, i just have fun with it.

I've seen a few of you guys around at shows(most memorable is the punisher 6, saw it last year the K104 show, and my jaw dropped), and hopefully in a few years, my car will be worthy of being shown. This year, i hope to have the FSWERKS exhaust, tint, and the ford racing suspension kit.

Il be out at Dunkin often because im pretty good friends with CRX Jay, if anyone knows him.
