What's Up!

HEY!!!

Okay, my post for the week! 

I will try and post pictures this Saturday, but I'm going to a birthday party. 

I'm going to be changing the name of my blog! I'm super excited about it. 

I think it's kinda long right now, so it will be something shorter. 

Here's my question for you!

What would you do if  you had to move from everything you knew, to your Great Aunt and Uncles, and they had no running water, pluming, power, WiFi, internet, or cars, because your house burned down and your parents couldn't afford to feed and clothe you? 

CAR OF THE DAY!

The Ford Focus!

 Most people don't like Fords, and I am one of them. but I promise that I will not be biased, and just give the facts. After the facts I might give my opinion though. I'm totally open for discussion in the comments!

The Ford Focus was produced in 1998, so it's not to old. There are four different generations: The first generation was from 1998-2004, second 2004-2011, third 2011-2018, and the fourth generation 2018-present. This car was  the replacement for the Ford Escort. there are different styles of the Focus, so as: the hatchback, saloon/sedan, wagon, estate, and the coupe.

THE FIRST GENERATION---

 "Ford of North America began marketing the Focus in September 1999 for the 2000 model year, with some changes from the European version. The car was launched as a three-door hatchback, four-door saloon, and five-door wagon; a five-door hatchback debuted in 2001."-Wikipedia.  

  The first generation looks like this:

THE SECOND GENERATION---

"The Focus Mk 2 is larger and considerably heavier than its predecessor: it has a 25 mm (0.98 in) increase in wheelbase, and is 168 mm (6.6 in) longer, 8 mm (0.31 in) taller, and 138 mm (5.4 in) wider. As a result, the interior and boot space have increased. New technologies include a KeyFree system, a solar-reflect windshield, adaptive front lighting, Bluetooth hands-free phones and voice control for audio, telephone, and climate control systems. Since debuting at the 2007 North American International Auto Show, the restyled 2008–2011 generation was available as a two-door coupe and four-door saloon; the hatchbacks and wagon were discontinued. The interior was redesigned, including new seats, a new dashboard design with message center on top of the dashboard, ambient lighting, dashboard panels that simulate brushed aluminum, and Ford's voice-controlled Sync audio/Bluetooth system. Also included in the redesign was a support beam behind the dashboard for extra structural rigidity." -Wikipedia.

THIRD GENERATION---

" Ford previewed the third generation facelifted model at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.^[15] The updated version features a new redesigned front end design, incorporating Ford's new family grille and slimline headlights. The sporty ST and an RS model (now sold globally)—which features an upgraded version of the 2.3-litre engine from the Ford Mustang—will continue Ford's performance range. The RS now has all-wheel drive."-Wikipedia

THE FOURTH GENERTAION---

"On April 10, 2018, Ford unveiled the European and Asian-market versions of the fourth-generation Focus, to mark the brand's 20th anniversary. As in the previous generation, the model is available with sedan, hatchback and estate bodystyles.

The exterior features a sportier design, while Ford described its interior as being simpler. The company also emphasized technology featured in the new model, including the Sync 3 infotainment system, FordPass Connect, and the CoPilot360 driver assistance suite."-Wikipedia
