Hey all! I've been lurking around here for info, prior to and after getting my new Fiesta. Finally made a profile and decided I may have stuff to contribute every now and then. I'm currently running at about of 2 months of ownership, current mileage just over 2k. Here's a novel for anyone who cares to read it about how I got here...
I've always been a truck guy due to my hobbies mostly being offroad stuff. I've always been a Toyota guy, then met my wife 11 years ago. She and her whole family are die hard Ford people. My father in law was only accepting, not approving lol, that I was a Toyota guy. Well I let them sway me and I ended up with a Ford Ranger. I did some mods, as I do with everything I own lol, to the Ranger and drove the wheels off of it. It was time for a new truck and went back to Toyota for a '13 Tacoma. Well, my wife has always been into Mustangs... every since she got her license. She is currently on ownership of Stang number 3 and 4. I ended up getting bit by the fast car bug. I wanted my own, a '15 GT with 6-speed manual.
Whenever my wife and I leave the area, we rent cars. A local car rental place occasionally has awesome cars, Mustangs, Challengers, Cameros, all V8s w/ manuals. They even have had a few Focus and Fiesta ST's. I ended up renting a Fiesta ST from them last year after hearing how awesome and fun they were... I was hooked. But it took me awhile to make up my mind, I kept bouncing back and forth between getting my own Stang, or a FiST. I have always like the idea of having a fun little rocket, but was also drawn to the raw power of the GT Stang. What pushed me to finally pull the trigger on a FiST was anytime we would go anywhere with friends or family, we would end up taking my truck due to being a four door. I guess you could say I wanted the more "practical" vehicles as my wife will always be into Stangs. She ended up finding me a sweet deal on a new '16, Kona Blue, FiST in San Diego. We made the trip, picked her up, and I've been stoked ever since!
I had all the mods planned out for the FiST, but quickly found out the '16s had that lame intake change... bummer. So I've been on hold waiting for a full intake to be released. Right now I'm torn between the CPE or Cobb intakes... when they do come out. When I get the intake I will also being doing the FMIC, down pipe, and tune. Days after my FiST came home, I did the roof rack, mud flaps, and Injen exhaust. I've been stoked with the Injen exhaust but am jonesing to continue with the mods to get it where I want it. So now I play the waiting game...
Well enough of the story of my life lol, hope you enjoyed it!
