Compliments on your Fiesta.

[ORANGEST]

Two kids working drive-thru windows have asked me to rev it, so of course I had to make the exhaust pop... Have gotten "cute car" before... Have gotten the "nice Focus!" before...

You mentioning these has reminded me a few other times I've had similar situations. Drive-thru guys asking asking what kind of car it is and some random people(eastern NC) saying "let me hear that two step" and me free revving it to 7000rpms and hearing the loud ass fuel cut-off....good times. I'm 42 yrs old and still love the obnoxiousness of this car.

I've had a couple. One guy really got excited at a Chik Fila. He saw the FMIC and was like "Whoah, is that turbo? I didn't know those came turbo! As I backed up the car he yells; "BOV sounds awesome!" He was maybe 19. With the stock turbo you can hear the BOV just backing out of a parking space. Lol

For a lllloooonnnngggg time I had driven an older beat up looking (but mechanically well maintained) car. So initially there were lots of compliments with the FiST.

HA!
One time when parked at the main ski lodge headquarters for NEFR (New England Forest Rally) in Newry, Maine, a FoRS owner got out of his car (parked right next to mine no less, so he could see the differences!) and thought my ride was a FoST.

In the last few years, most who even bother to notice (with an opportunity to comment) around here seem to know the difference between the FoST and FiST. They're all young cats... not the 30+ crowd.

Most of the general populace is so SUV oriented, and unaware of anything else, that they do not even know what a Fiesta is, let alone our ST version.

Dude, I was two sentences away from arguing with the parts guy, who was insisting that my ST wasn't a turbo.
