-You get thumbs up and a huge wave and smile from someone in a Nissan GT-R (happened to me on 4-95S!)
-You keep forgetting just how small the car actually is until you walk away from a parking space, and figure you could probably fit another one in there!
-You can't make up your mind which color the ambient lights should be tonight, or you change your MFT wallpaper again...
-You've cleaned your 5-spokes for the second time in a week because of how much brake dust the stock pads like to kick up, or 'Rado Grey' becomes 'Athracite'.
-You have to explain that the car is actually European, despite having an American make (Made in Mexico, designed in Germany, with an engine built in the United Kingdom).
-People refuse to believe the stock dyno numbers, especially the torque.
-You've had a shouting match with SYNC.
-You've accidentally sprayed the back window when trying to actuate the intermittent wipers
-You haven't owned the car 7 days before buying a COBB AP and flashing the Stage 1 map.
-You've watched practically every important review of the car on Youtube, from the majors (Fifth Gear/TGUK) down to EVO and XCAR or even Autocar.
-You squee a bit inside every time someone says the FiST is better than the FoST.
-People are accidentally impaled in the back of the head, because your rear seat headrests are folded down (impossible to see otherwise)
-You hate 4x108 PCD. If you're a former Focus-owner, this is just a long-burning feud. But now you know a lot more about Volvo, Saab, and 80s Audis than you ever thought you'd want to.
-Your friend with a Mazda2 temporarily hates you, but wants to drive your car badly.
-You get started at by Subaru WRX STis at the gas station, hard enough to peel paint (oh boy).
-You've discovered your full-size spare isn't actually full-size, or even the right size. You've also realized that the OEM tire is stupid-expensive.
-The hard suspension means you actually have to pull over at service stations for bathroom breaks on long drives (I imagine this one is less true for guys)
-You know what brake-based torque vectoring and an electronic differential is, and can explain how it works. Not that anyone, y'know, cares when you do.
-You've looked up Team O'Neill Motorsports, and know they are M-Sport's distributor in the United States (*evil laugh*)
-You know that between the Focus ST and the Fiesta ST, you have the superior floormats, and they be jelly.
-You realize the grass is always greener on the other side (UK wants 5-doors and non-Recaro option + full MFT, US wants 3 door)
-People ask you if you like Ken Block.
That's all for now...lol.
