Hello from Arkansas

[James Bart Dorsey]

I think I have the first Ford Fiesta ST in Arkansas. I got mine about 4 weeks ago. I'm absolutely loving it, I have a little over 1k miles on it so far. This is the first "performance" car I've ever owned, and I've never had so much fun driving before

Here's the only photo I have so far. I've already removed that stupid dealer plate holder and filled in the holes with some custom painted plastic plugs.

One thing I've noticed and I have no idea if it's normal or not is.. there's a lot of mechanical noise when shifting into 1st, 2nd and 3rd at low RPMs. I can only hear if it I've got the radio off and the windows up, because it's not very loud, but I don't remember any of the other standards I've ever owned making these kinds of noises. Should I be concerned about this?
