is gonna be a good day.

Saw two Fiesta STs, Performance Blue and Tuxedo Black, on the way to work and noticed that there's a used Tuxedo Black Focus ST for sale at the Toyota dealer near me. Might have to go check that last one out after work tomorrow... No SR20, because I was driving and there was a cop behind me the whole way in to work.

Here's another FiST to make you Green with Envy, like I currently am.

In addition to that, the N64 controllers I bought on Amazon came in and are waiting at the post office, and the two games I ordered (Ocarina of Time and Gauntlet Legacy) should arrive today too!

Every time I see a Fiesta ST I strongly consider trading in my Kia... That I still owe payments on.

CrzRsn brought one home last night! Really fun little car, but I'd have to get used to such touchy brakes.

Yeah I saw that post! Pretty awesome. I'm still debating between the FoST and FiST... and maybe an FR-S. lol

I haven't driven a FoST or an FR-S, but he says he likes the FiST better than FoST.

I've heard that from a few other people too. My main considerations for the FoST are that there's more space and I can likely get a '13 for cheaper than a FiST. We will see though.

I've never been in a FiST, but I got my FoST for space considerations. I have a kid to haul around. I was also able to get in a '14 ST1 for less (I did find one dealer with the same price) than a FiST. There are deals to be had.

I want an ST3, mainly for the seats. The seats are pretty much the only feature I care about honestly. A sunroof would be nice, but it's not necessary. I get X-Plan pricing, but I will probably buy a used FoST if I get one just to save money. I don't have any kids to haul but I do go fishing/camping a lot, so the extra space would be nice.

I commute though a place with a lot odd new cars on the road, and I've NEVER seen a Fiesta ST in the wild. Just the one I'm in.

This was the first time for me! I stopped at the gas station to grab an iced tea on the way in to work and the Performance Blue one pulled up next to me. We left at the same time so I got to follow it all the way to my turn off, and then saw the Tuxedo Black one driving the opposite direction about 2 miles before my turn off. I was thrilled when I saw the first one at the gas station, and then when I saw the 2nd I knew it was gonna be a good day. lol

On the way home you'll see two 918s and LaFerrari at this rate!

That would be pretty awesome! However, my spotting of rare/super cars has significantly decreased since moving to a state plagued by this thing called "winter." haha

I've been living with that plague my entire life, but this summer internship helps with the supercar sightings. The Maserati dealer I pass everyday once had an F40, and now has a 458 and Scuderia.

Took me about a month to get used to the brakes and stop bobble heading everyone in the car.

I wish summer was still a thing for me. lol

Very nice! Before moving to the northern suburbs of Chicago I lived in Scottsdale, AZ, the land of rich people with super nice cars. lol Although I did see a Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera in downtown Chicago in the middle of winter, that was pretty sweet. I'm sure that was an interesting drive through the slippery snow covered streets. haha

FoST would be nice, but that clutch feel kills it entirely. FiST is just perfect.

Having driven all 3 of those (BRZ instead of FR-S), FiST no questions asked.

I will have to go test drive both soon. Just need these damn medical bills to get figured out so I can determine how much of my savings is left for a down payment. lol

How loud is the Green Envy? I'm debating whether or not I want to go full on boyracer status or keep it a bit more reserved/professional w/ Tuxedo Black, Ingot Silver, or Oxford White...

Green Envy is the same exact paint code as my Gotta Have it Green Mustang. It is very loud, and I absolutely love it. Wouldn't trade it for any other color.

But if thats not your cup of tea, I'd say check out the Molten Orange. Its a very nice color without being too 'boy racer'

I do like that color. I just REALLY wish the FiST came in Grabber Blue. There would be no debate for me if it did.

Funny enough, for as much as I like bright exiting colors, I've never liked Grabber Blue. Chrysler's B5 Blue is way better IMO

I like the Grabber Blue because it's more of an electric blue, which is awesome IMO. However, Mitsubishi still wins the best name for a shade of blue with their Blue By You on the Evo.
