New guy. Picking up my ST this week

[MS67]

Hey guys, my name is Matt and I'm from FL. I don't have my FiST yet, but I'll have it this week. I've always loved these things since they came out, and being that I've owned close to 30 cars but never had a turbo car...I figured it was time.

Here are the two cars I'm getting rid of to "downsize". You guys may think I'm insane, but I have my reasons.

I'm an S2000 lover at heart. I've had three, and my ST will be parked next to a 2006 Laguna Blue Pearl example in my garage. It has an AEM V3 intake, test pipe, Gernby eTune, KW V3 coilovers, Moddiction front sway bar, Enkei PF01s 17x9 squared with 255/40 Bridgestone RE71s, and a badass 3-way active audio setup. I'll post some pics of that soon, as well as my ST when I get it.

Welcome!! Glad to see you're picking up a FiST! As a vette owner and lover, sad to see it go. But I'm sure your reasons are well worth it.

Welcome!

Beautiful Z! I got rid of my '06 C6 to get my FiST - my car buddies think I'm nuts, but I don't regret it a bit!

Welcome

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm basically selling those two cars and getting the ST because I have a work car that I drive every day and don't drive my personal cars enough to justify having that much money tied up in 3 cars. So I'll have the S2000 and the ST. The more I own fast cars, the more I realize how much I'd rather drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow. So I'm looking forward to my ownership of this car.

The Sprite is near the ultimate example of slow car fast. I can race through town and nobody even realizes I'm driving hard just to keep up... (on the other hand it'll go 60 mph anywhere. Once up to speed, there's enough grip to not have to slow down.
