What Others Are Asking

Is a Ford Focus a good first car?
I’m finally ready to purchase my first car. But I’ll admit—I’m not really sure what I’m doing! My dad’s friend has a Ford Focus for sale on the cheap, but I’m not certain if it’s a good option for a first-time driver. Should I consider the Ford Focus as my first ride?

Can you turbo and supercharge a car?
I like having high-powered cars, and I want to get as much power to the engine as possible. I’ve heard great things about turbochargers and superchargers, so I’m curious if I could get both installed. Can you turbo and supercharge a car?
