Took my FIST to an alignment shop. (I just had Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires fitted and I wanted to be sure everything was up to spec.) Just as I was parking, one of the shop employees walked by. He stopped, looked at my car, and asked, “Is that some kind of Honda?” When I told him it was a Ford, he just looked puzzled and walked on. Soon after, a tech came out to drive my car onto the lift and do the alignment. He circled my car and then with a confused look said, “What IS this?” (In fairness, I did partially debadge by removing the Fiesta logo.) After I told him Ford Fiesta ST, it was all good. Apparently, our cars are a pretty rare sight and virtually invisible to most people (which is just fine with me). I was reminded of the old SNL sketch with Steve Martin and Bill Murray. “What the hell is that?” Too funny!
