YES! Im fortunate enough to have felt this before. Back with my bugeye WRX. I absolutely loved that car. Snow, gravel, asphalt, it didn't matter, it just happily rumbled along. One day I found myself standing on the side of the road watching her burn to the ground due to a turbo fire. That was over four years ago. Nothing I drove after that really gave me that same feeling of pure joy, but I don"t think I really wanted anything else too. A few months ago I decided to take a Fiesta ST on a test drive just for kicks and I placed my order the next day. This car is darn near perfect in my opinion. I know exactly how you feel, and I have that feeling once again!
