Well, since moving back to the USA form Japan, I fixed up the old Ranger and made it one of a kind. Engine work, body work, suspension work -- everything.

I got her done, and then I went and sold it. I got offered something I couldn't refuse while on a test drive as I was sitting at a stoplight one day, and it was gone the next with a cash deal.

With that, I went and bought a new 2006 Ford Fusion with the 221-hp 24-valve 3.0 V6 and a six-speed. It's loaded with heated leather seats, moonroof, 8-speakers, 6CD/MP3, etc etc. I painted and installed a 3dCarbon body kit as well. Just something little to make it look a little different.

I am soon to be test-developing a supercharger and underdrive pulleys with my buddy that owns Jusnes Modified. My friend Randy that has Focus-Sport has created a performance company exclusively for the Fusion, as well. That page is FSWerks

Here are pictures of the Ranger:

Here is the new Fusion:

Also, please forgive the shoddy photowork. I don't exactly know decent places in Pensacola to get some shots, so the night-time was in downtown [if you couldn't guess], and the daytime was on Corry Station. The Ranger was all shot at home in Michigan.

All I have done is the 3dCarbon kit. Missing the rear window spoiler, but that's in the mail. Tint, wheels and programmer are soon.

I would say your photowork is pretty good and it also helps to have a good looking car. You did a great job! Its pretty uplifting to look at these cars. They really catch your eye.

One comment on the pics, and all the talk about the 3dCarbon kit...hmm... Glad at least one person thought it looked nice.

[/quote]I just used the Sony DSC-F828 on a tripod. Sooner or later, I'm gonna break out the 'REAL' camera, and get out the Canon dSLR. Thanks for the comments!

Well, since people really had nothing much to say on this after 80 something views, here's an attempt at another topic.

Great Pictures, Great Color for a Fusion. Can't say enough about the 3D Carbon Kit, I Love It.
