Very nice. Grabber blue is my favorite Ford color of all time. We bought our daughter a new 2001 Focus when she was going to school. She had it even after she got married....until my favorite (and only) so in law put it on it's roof! Like the Mark VII too.

It's a great color. My favorite next to Gotta Have It Green. We had to order the car because no dealer in a metro area of 6 million people had a Grabber Blue Mustang in stock. I want to add a cold air intake, 91 octane tune, and 3.73 gears to it. My wife doesn't want me to as she doesn't want me to modify her car. She said one modified car is enough. I beg to differ ;).

It looks a lot better in pictures. The paint under the clear coat is faded and blotchy and the lower part of the front fenders and rockers in front of the rear wheels have rust due to the aftermarket sunroof drains. The car needs a complete paint job and new front fenders.

The Focus is the odd man out being a FWD 4-door. Everything else is a RWD coupe. I live in Chicago so we need at least one small car when we go downtown. Makes finding parking a lot easier.

Once day I need to purchase some non FoMoCo automobiles :rollin:
