4Runner_ST's 2014 FIST

[4Runner_ST]

Been lurking on this forum, figured I would post and add some photos for once.

I bought this 2014 Ford Fiesta ST in Oxford White in August of last year; one of the last 2014's on the lot. Got a good deal and I've been daily driving it ever since. I just rolled over 29,000 miles today, pretty good for only owning it for 14 months. I'm still running stock tires, which doesn't seem to be very common for you guys. I drive the car pretty hard and still have a little bit of tread left on them. Anyways here are a couple photos from my adventures in the last year.

Welcome. Awesome pics! It's been in the back of my mind to visit some of those places and have an adventure driving my FiST to those locations. Just gotta make the time and do it.

I'm an avid runner, mountain biker, camper, but with most of these adventures, the purpose of the drive was to drive. I'm pretty young, 19, and I just want to get out and explore as much as I can. I have family in north Idaho, so I drove to see them. On my way home I drove through Seattle, San Francisco, Bend, OR. Any place I felt worth seeing, because, well why not. I'm an ASU student, so I do a decent amount of Arizona exploring, but I leave most of that to the 4Runner. If I get an idea, I'll set a plan, and make it happen. I'm awfully lucky to have all the opportunities I do, why not use them to my advantage.

Another month down. Only drove 2,000 miles last month. I have about 30,500 miles on the stock tires and man they are slippery haha. After Christmas, I'll bite the bullet and get some new rubber.

Welcome to the forum. Where did you get the FIST emblem for you Fist?

Toyota ran a promotion a couple months ago where you could order a custom emblem to "name" your Toyota vehicle. Well I cheated and got "FIST" and put it on my Fist haha.
