New owner of another members car!

[PacNW4]

Hi All,
Excited to be here. I just purchased a 2015 FiST from member ericr. He is a meticulous car owner and I am proud to have been chosen as the next owner of his car. While he has moved on to something with a different badge, I have the impression he will miss this car.

Eric did a great job making an already fantastic car even better to drive. I’m still learning about it, I haven’t owned the car a week yet, but I can tell you in that time I have learned that the FiST is a blast it is to drive.

Here is a photo of the car. Maybe some of you will remember it from the early days of the US FiSTs.

I look forward to learning from you all and contributing when I can!

Alex

Welcome and congratulations on your new vehicle! These cars are extremely fun to drive, I’ve owned mine for 2.5 years and it’s still a blast to drive!

I'm late to the party but congrats man!!! And it is CLEAN. Already some tasteful mods too.
Welcome to the fist community. Don't be afraid to push the car. Hard. Those sticky rubber be careful she likes to 3 wheel when she gets grip. But beat the heck out of it man, they can take it trust me. Hands down most reliable car I've ever owned. It's such a blast.

Welcome, nice ride

Welcome from a fellow 2015 owner; I'm still enjoying the drive after all these years with a grin on my face every time I take her out for a spin. Bought my little beast new in late 2014 and have never had an issue. Reliability personified.

Welcome.

I've always been jealous of the blue. Just a great looking paint on a great looking car.
