Focus owner eventually making the switch

[4LugSlug]

Guess it's about time I made myself known here. My name's Josh. I'm in Baltimore, MD. I've been eying the ST for months now and have been trolling the forums for nearly as long. Getting ideas for future mods and what's currently on the market based on all the R&D you guys are doing. Currently, I own an 06 Focus. I won Best Sedan 05-07 at Carlisle All Ford Nationals a few years ago. Been out of the modding and show scene due to work reasons but have some new things coming up that are about to change that again. Hoping to pick up an Oxford White FiST by the end of the year. Here's my car with the wheels that I had on it at the time. Talk to you guys and gals soon.

[rodmoe]

I do at least have that going for me with not being able to purchase yet. When the time comes, I'll be able to do things in big chunks as all of you have already done the research. I do have a few things up my sleeve though that I'll be keeping to myself until the time comes to show them off.

O it will be

Hey man I'm from fanatics too, love your Focus...glad you're making the switch and welcome!

 

[4LugSlug]

Thanks man. She looks a little ragged right now. Just time for something new and more mature. And by mature I mean fast and immature.

Hi Josh, welcome to the forums and thanks for the introduction. I see you have great taste by choosing Oxford White lol.

 

[4LugSlug]

Yours looks excellent as well. If the molten orange was more "competition orange" I'd be going that route but red has been done to death

Welcome to forums. End of the year is a long wait haha.

 

[4LugSlug]

It is. Could be earlier though. I start something new in the fall but want to pay a few things down first so the loan would be the only thing I owe. Trying to be adult about it. :/

 

[CanadianST]

Welcome! Excited to see what you have in store for the FiST

And by mature I mean fast and immature.

Understood, any self respecting car should be a bit manic with a dose of "full goose bozo" lurking in the right pedal.

Welcome. I'm not far away in Odenton. My only mod is an AccessPORT right now but would be happy to give you a ride.

What does it look like now?

Absolutely. As much time as we spend in our cars, at least some of it should be fun. Nothing wrong with that as long as you're not a jackass about it.

I used to live in Jessup actually. Moved right before the mall opened. ^This just gave me butterflies. I might have to take you up on that.

Well...I got one too many tint tickets (probably near $1000 worth) so one trooper finally gave me a repair order to strip it and the taillights as well. And apartment living doesn't provide any protection nor the option of somewhere to keep up on it so the carbon fiber has faded on the hood and trunk. I've got svt wheels on now though but she's seen better days.
