wants to fondle your manboobs
I got to drive our company's 200x Ford Focus (1st generation AFAIK), complete with rollup windows, k7 player, broken windscreen and blinkers that go way faster than when it left the factory thanks to some electrical glitches. Oh and, surprisingly, a manual transmission
Not sure which engine it had but it was quite fun to drive and brought back some good old memories from when I learned to drive in one (albeit a EU version).
The most noticeable difference I could notice from the one we had (apart from the k7 player and the rollup windows, obviously) was the shift light, telling you to shift up at about 2000rpm!
But you know the worst part about that light? It actually worked... I was in slow traffic in some street in Vancouver and found myself changing up each time the light came on... Mind you, that didn't make much of a difference to the performance of the car in that kind of traffic!
Other than that, the car had 118.000km on the clock and felt quite good!
It's been more than two years since I really got to drive a proper manual gearbox but surprisingly I haven't lost that much skill in my left foot :-d And fuck it feels good! I can't imagine buying a car with an automatic gearbox, ever...
