Think I may have bumped into Shige Suganuma from Mooneyes.
I was grabbing something from one of the local Honda motorcycle dealers yesterday, and when I came out, a pickup had parked next to me, and a bike was being loaded into the back. A rather distinguished looking older Japanese gentleman was next to the truck, staring at my FIST with a furrowed brow, clearly had his gears turning as he looked over my car.
I said "hello" as I opened my door, and he started asking questions. "Excuse me, is this the "fast" version of the Fiesta?" I told him that if you can call a Fiesta "fast", this was the one. He asked several questions about what modifications the ST had over the standard Fiesta, and pointed out a bunch of things that he figured I had done to the car personally. He asked me to start it up, and listened the exhaust for a minute. It's a Borla, not too loud, but he smiled. He asked about the suspension, and I said that it rode harshly, but cornered well. He said "I know all about harsh. I have race cars that require a kidney belt." He thanked me for his time, and I thanked him for his interest in my car. As I pulled away, the tailgate of the truck slammed shut, with a Mooneyes logo on the back.
Hmm....
