New owner from Minnesota

Been lurking the last few weeks and decided I should finally register.

Recently traded from a Focus RS to a 2016 Fiesta ST. Options include Molten Orange recaros and a sunroof I didn't want. Came out to about $20,599 after rebates. The dealer really wanted my RS it seemed.

Put on a MAP catback and hit the road for the RS adrenaline academy jus a few days after purchase. Had a blast and got to learn the car on some great roads.

A few photos of my FiST and the twin of my RS owned by a friend who took the journey with me.

Welcome! What prompted the trade? I'm originally from Brainerd
Financial reasons. I had all my money tied up in the RS and needed to fund a home renovation.

Welcome! Check out 'MN STs' on FB, if you have an account.
Thanks! Already a pretty active member there ever since I got the RS :)

Thanks!

Thanks!, I have been reviewing your suspension tuning the last few days and am getting ready to place some orders :D

Welcome aboard [MENTION=7768]mullick[/MENTION], if you don't mind me asking what kind of trade-in value did you get for the RS?

Original MSRP $41,750. I put 12,500 miles on it and had some paint damage from a tire blow out on track. They gave me $35,500

Well look at this guy...
I recognize that list of cars :p

Most of those detergents are useless on our cars anyways since they are direct injected. They are meant to clean the valves and fuel never comes in contact with the intake valves in our engines :(
