Since insuring a car in Baghdad is likely cheaper than insuring a car in Detroit I decided to sell my commuter car Focus ZX3 and downgrade to an older model that I can cover with liability only.
After checking out a bunch of junky Probes, escorts, and cavaliers I found an Escort ZX2 S/R. I was surprised to learn that these cars have some toys added from the factory such as; iceman intake, B&M shifter, Borla muffler and tip, centerforce dual friction clutch, eibach springs, suspension pieces made by energy suspension, Tokico struts and rear disc brakes, along with a 6 disc cd changer and 150mph guage cluster. Also, for some weird reason ford decided to paint the intake and valve cover blue. Supposedly there were only 3000 S/R's made and only 500 black ones. The car is actually fun to drive and gets great mileage, slow by todays standards, but zippy nonetheless, here are some pics of a similar car.
