Hey, I'm the dude who had a 2002 ZX5 Focus with a Vortec centrifugal supercharger AND a 75-shot nitrous on her. I understand the appeal of a four-banger that gets 35 MPG on the highway, but will lay wood on a Camaro or Mustang when you drop the hammer and hit the bottle.
I was helping a buddy move in 30-40 degree weather (big mistake 1), lift struts were shot (mistake 2), and so I used a broomstick to prop it open (mistake 3).
I was shoving a few boxes in, accidentally knocked the broomstick, the hatch slammed shut and a shower of glass rained down. $200 later, I was good to go again since my insurance wasn't cool enough to pay for it.
That's a lot less than I would have expected... still going to try not to do it!
That was ONLY becuase one of my chick-friends knew somebody and they hooked me up. I wasn't working at the time and would hate to imagine how much it would've been retail
