This poor guy. He chose the wrong place to park.

I don't think the pontiac was his, he was just walking around taking photos. I believe he drove up in a pimped civic.

Looks like plates are not required in this state ... so why the eff is this still on the car!?! Thats the first thing I did to my car.

they are required, just not really enforced.

there was a bill being put forth to stop the requirement, but I can't find the outcome,

If your not using it, there is no reason to have it on. Just ruins the look of whatever its covering, in this case the grill.

Love that. I actually prefer my silver wheels to black. But man, that color. And transmission...

Yeah I love the color, almost the same color as my Fiesta.

The guy owned it was very nice, brought his 7 year old. After coffee they went grocery shopping. Hero

Dude! Screw the V Wagon! Tell us about the ST! I haven't even seen one on the road yet.

It's amazing. Had a slight hiccup the second day of ownership but at this point we've had it for 1 week and hit 500 miles and its been smooth sailing. Its absolutely awesome.

He's got a sweet-sounding exhaust too.

Fun to drive? Have you driven the Focus ST for comparison? Is it fast? DOES IT HANDLE?! I guess I need to just drive one...

Super fun to drive. Never got to drive the Focus ST. Its very fast, and handles great. Keep in mind this is my first car, so I don't have much to judge it by, but from what my dad and some of his friends have said is that its the best handling FWD car they've driven. I had a 200hp limit for first car so although I wanted the Focus it was never going to happen. It also sounds great. It has very short gearing though so if you shift at the recommended rpm (2000) for the best mileage, your cruising at 20mph 2000rpm in 4th gear. Because its still being broken in I haven't really driven it hard yet, and also my dad probably wouldn't be happy. The suspension is apparently harsh, but the only other car i've driven at length is my dads older S4 avant, which had a pretty harsh suspension as well, so i'm used to it.

Long story short it is epic.

That's awesome. I really appreciate the insight. My advice is don't drive the Focus because you'll probably feel like you're missing out! The Fiesta sounds great, though - you're the first person I know who has one!

Well by telling me it will feel like i'm missing out now I feel like i'm missing out.

Noticed the plate was from Ohio...Where/when is this event? Also yes that is a beautiful wagon. And a manual!!

It is in Cleveland Every 1st and 3rd Saturday morning 830-1030. The one 2 weeks from now is the last of the year. This was actually the first one I had been too as I just found out about it. Will do a photodump later.

Thank you! Im in Cincinnati so thats a little far. If you're ever down here though look up Fuel Coffee on Facebook. They do a meet every Saturday and some Wednesdays. A few weeks ago a guy came with a yellow CGT and white RS 4.0 that were both his!

sounds sweet. We didn't have anything quite so exotic today but we had some really cool stuff.

Hahaha - only in the sense that it's faster. I bet the Fiesta is just as good in virtually every other way. They're both awesome performance versions with cool subtle bodykits.

You're missing out on a heavier car. Don't sweat the Focus; the Fiesta ST is SweeT.

If those were the stipulations of your first car, you did well, Noah! You are going to love that car, though I haven't tried the Fiesta ST yet. I had a rental Fiesta SEL, which brought me to buy the Focus ST a few weeks ago. Don't worry. You weren't able to get the Focus with the family rules anyway. The Focus is just bigger, quieter, smoother and a smidge faster. I like the looks of the Fiesta better, but am pissed you can't get it with the HID lights and LED runners. The stereo is more powerful in the Focus as well, but don't sweat it. You're going to have a blast with it. I almost hope nobody finds out how great the Ford ST line is so I don't see a ton of other ones out on the road. Yours will also get better mileage than the Focus.

BTW, I specifically saw that you don't have to break these cars in. It's not in my manual that I have to, and believe it might actually state you don't have to break it in. Though, it is a good idea to do so. I have about 1,000 miles on mine and will start opening it up more. I'm like 26 mpg city, 31-32 highway. About 28 mpg overall. It's almost silly to get that kind of gas mileage for that performance. (As long as you keep your foot out of it.)
