New member Connecticut

[Stkid93]

Hello,

My names craig’m brand new to the fist platform and I’m from Connecticut. I’m looking for any other forum members from Connecticut ( even surrounding states is okay).

im asking for a few reasons,

1) mainly and most importantly, it would be awesome to have some friends in the community near me to go to meets and stuff with/cruise with.

2) I’m looking for people to help me learn the platform and help me install parts (I would pay of course, I’m not looking for people to use I’m looking for lifelong friends where the friendship is mutually beneficial to everyone)

3) I am looking to go hybrid turbo and would love to ride in a few cars to help me make my final choice on which turbo to go for it.

Thanks!

I attend Quinnipiac College in Hamden for 2 years, many many moons ago.

I still miss hiking in Sleeping Giant State Park, right across the street from that school, to this day.

Welcome, you're lucky to find one with such low mileage. I think it's also nice to find one that's mostly stock, it's less likely to have had the crap driven out of it.

I couldn’t believe it! I was really questioning the mileage at first. I couldn’t understand why anyone would buy it brand new, take amazing care of it, then sell it at 11k miles. At first I thought it was someone’s weekend track toy. But then I started thinking, there’s no way because it’s all stock, even down to the sound symposer. I did the tune after buying the car, it was literally 100% stock. Down to the original tires and battery. If someone was going to track this car they would have at the very least put an intercooler, radiator, tires, and suspension on. The car also had extensive maintenance done (oil change every 3k). So if it wasn’t someone’s weekend track . It was probably either

1)driven by a middle aged or older man/woman. Maybe it was someone who used to like really fast cars but now that they are older they don’t modify them anymore. Maybe it was someone who wanted a regular fiesta. But the dealership was sold out, so they convinced them to buy the st.

2)it was indeed a weekend car. But the stock tires are still on the car with good life. So the car wasn’t driven all that hard.

whatever the reason, I got lucky with a very pristine low mileage fist. Although I wish there was a way to contact the previous owner to see what they were like and why they sold the car.

My older son used to live in Downingtown, and worked in Lionville, about 15 years ago.

Welcome fellow CT member and congrats on the low mileage new ST!

I am in the Hartford area, but I frequent Lime Rock Park up in Lakeville for various events/ watching races so maybe I will start seeing more Fiestas there.
