I have to admit, if I was in the market for a new car, the ST would be high on the must-drive list.

This is the weekend I've motivated myself to get the supra up and running again. I feel like an asshole for neglecting it for so long.

I drove by the C&C here last weekend and it's MASSIVE. Much larger than the Raleigh one ever was.

I'm looking forward to the one next month; maybe my buddy with the 458 Spider will want to pick me up on the way

No, like most Koenigseggs, their claims have never been officially validated.

They have at least 2 or 3 Focus ST sitting on the lot at the Ford dealership near me. It was a Saturday afternoon and the place seemed dead.

I was looking at the new Escape for my father. Which honestly look great, hopefully they come down in price a bit.
