Hello! I actually didn't have to steal a car, but I have been trying to but the Fiesta ST for a while but neither local Ford dealer had one I could get. They were being sold right off the truck in some cases or pre-sold. I finally got a chance to drive a black one loaded up. Did not like the recaros for DD. A few years back I had an EVO MR with recaros and at first liked the fit, but eventually became a chore. I finally had the dealer look up some for possible dealer trades. I ended up getting the molten orange color (see avatar) with NAV and the painted wheels/calipers (and of course, moonroof since they all come with it).
They had to drive it from another city so it had 63 miles on it when I got it, but now it's at 71! I haven't ordered anything for it yet, but once I see what you all are doing for modifications I'll jump right in. I have an appointment to get my windows tinted so I guess that'll be "mod #1". I just wantedt o get this post over so I can start reading all of the other posts. Please feel free to chime in with any good/bad info on our cars. My wife and son call it "mudflap" from transformers..
My previous car was an 03 Protege. It was my pre-retirement "get out of debt" vehicle. Before I retired from the Air Force I sold my newer maxima and bought the madza for cash as I didn't know if I would find a job fast enough. It all worked out, but kept the mazda for 2 years as my DD. Was so tired of driving that slow car. During my years, I've owned over 70 cars (I lost track after I hit 60 cars). I've had cobra mustangs, GTs, MR2s, MR2 turbos, VWs, Integra GSR, Z28s (90s, 80s, and 70s models), a host of trucks and SUVs, a couple S-10 blazers, pick ups, the EVO, and now the Fiesta. This brings me back to having 3 in the stable. My wife's DD is a newer durango, and the "project" is a 1973 F-100. Currently it does not have an engine or transmission in it. They are on the garage floor. I picked up a 4.6 DOHC mod motor and 4r70W auto trans for it. I've rebuilt the motor and am just waiting to save up enough money to order the wiring harness so I can start putting it back together.
