$40K Ford Focus.

Something sounds off about it, right?
Many people will agree. But there's that small population who have no issues forking over that kind of money, even if it is *just* a Focus. Last I heard, these things were pretty much sold out for the year. A few days ago, I saw the same color RS that Flip posted earlier, zooming past me on the highway. First time I've seen one in person. Nice looking car. I'd be hard pressed spending that kind of dough on *just* a Focus also, but you gotta admit, it is a cool car.

Does the ST come with AWD also? I thought only the RS had that.

I'm giving up beer for a bit. I've been drinking waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much as of late. About 24 beers a week. Sometimes over 30 per week. Stuff is making me fat. It'll be nice to shed a few pounds though.

Nope. The ST is only available in FWD. (that's what the "ST" stands for: "Steering, Torque")

It's getting shorter, that's for sure. What's 0.75" minus 1.00"? That's where I'm at.

Been working on the house and planning vacations.

Window Visors but that is old. Still building my audio system. That's pretty much it.

wifey keeps pushing for Hawaii in December. I guess busy season starts in mid December, so she wants to go just before that. I don't know how I feel about it. Actually, I do. I feel incredibly cheap and don't want to pay 30-35% more for travelling to the US

is it easy getting from island to island, when in Hawaii? Each islands seems super unique- it'd be cool to hit at least 2 of them. 3, if time/money permits.

I haven't did it.

Mediterranean was the original plan but ended up at Thai.

How exquisitely interesting!

adam, thought it was pretty cool that you were honest about the colors on your car.
no more ribbing from me, man.

yeah...I LOVE the ST! FWD is right, but around $22K used...I think they're a solid choice...quick,sound mean, look nice...definitely a hot hatch without the parts cost of a german one.

I was sooo close to buying a FoST. December 31st, around 2:00 in the afternoon and they guy was basically willing to entertain an offer of pocket lint and half a tin of Altoids. I went hoping our carseat would fit in the FiST and it didn't (obviously, but I *really* wanted it to) but it fit juuuust fine in the FoST.

But it was that sickly tangerine orangeyellow baby-sick color. I just couldn't do it.

And then I bought an Acra and met you toolbags.

The FiST is NOT the FoST! I drove one and it's quick, but you can't live with yourself in that little thing...that's like getting a scion TC.
I've always had a thing for hatches...
