Hey All!
I've been lurking around here for a while but figured it was about time to participate.
This has become my goto spot for anything ST related and I always find the answer I'm looking for.
Great Job everybody.
Anywhoo... about me...
I come from a long line of Automotive and Ford enthusiasts. My Grandfather has owned upwards of 60 cars over his lifetime and many of my family members are enthusiasts as well. Family gatherings look like a cross between a car show and a Ford dealership.
My Grandpa's house is the first place I go whenever I get a new vehicle.
I have owned a 87 Mercury Lynx, 1991 Eclipse, 2001 Ranger, 2003 Focus SVT, and am now driving a 2008 Acura TL.
It's a varied assortment, but my favorites have been my Eclipse and SVTF.
I owned the Focus SVT for about 8.5 years and loved every single moment of it. I only got rid of it because it was starting to cost a fortune to keep maintained. 8.5 years and 120,000+ miles of Michigan roads, winters, track days, and general hoonage definitely took it's toll.
It was a very tough decision, but then I saw a gleaming Acura TL on a used car lot and it got just a little bit easier. I've always thought the TL was one of the most beautiful 4-door sedans made.
The Acura is awesome, but my heart lays with the hot-hatch...
So, on May 10th I ordered myself the perfect hot-hatch for me.
The re-incarnation of my 2003 Focus SVT is a 2013 Focus ST... Performance Blue ST3 with the Moonroof.
I'm unbelievably excited that this car is coming and it looks to be even more awesome than I had hoped.
I can't wait until this fall when the car will finally be mine!
