    May ROTM 2008 - wht95scort

    I'm excited to announce the winner for this month's ROTM is Mike is his perfectly pieced together escort gt. Mike is a master at metal work, and everywhere you look on this car, you can see that he has spent many hours measuring, taking notes, testing, and re-doing it all other again and again until it is perfect.

    I'd like to be the first to congratulate him on his car that I'm sure many people on here would kill for to have.

    About the owner

    I found the car by accident. I was looking for a beater car and saw a 97 ford contour at a local dealer. When I got there it had already been sold. I saw the escort sitting in the lot and it seemed nice. After some haggling on the price I took her home. After a few months went by a friend and I were at the track watching. We saw a lot of turbo 'd cars that night and gave us the idea to turbo the escort. After hours of searching I came upon some options and this great forum. A lot of questions were asked and answered and the build took off. Overall I'm very happy with how it's turned out. Thanks again for a great forum!!

    I've decided that my car is a girl, she's picky as hell, won't listen to me, always wants to fight me, and when i give her presents it's never good enough and she always wants more.

      congratz on the ROTM. You deserve it
      I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.
