Haha, well if our cars were closer in mileage (and mine wasnt a year older) I'd certainly trade you. White is so hard to keep clean.

yeah I'm at idk maybe almost 400 miles on the odometer. This is the first new car I've ever bought so this low mileage nonsense is crazy to me (was living in Manhattan and definitely didn't want to deal with a car there)

Hello fellow PNWers! I am keeping an eye out for yall in Seattle and the east side. So far I have only seen one other ST.

is there a FiST wave like how miatas, jeeps, and Porsches wave to each other? i'm making that a thing lets do this

But you would have to drive your car to participate, but at least if I see a guy on the street waving at me, I know who it is haha

There was a thread on this a few days ago, and I will definitely be waving at ST/RS owners. Just as soon as I see one! Felt like I was seeing FoSTs all over, but I haven't been seeing them much lately.

I always wave at other STs. It's not reciprocated as often as it was when I owned a Honda or my Subaru. But it is still reciprocated.

 

[Zormecteon]

Every time I've tried to acknowledge another ST whether FiST or FoST, I've been ignored as if I didn't exist. .. So now I'm always looking and would reciprocate, but never initiate... .. Game Theory.

I got the finger last time I waived at a FoST

Hi guys,

I'm Stormy (Named the car Stormy because of the Storm Trooper theme it has going). I'm in the South Seattle/Burien area. Love the idea of a meet in the spring or summer. Subbed!

 

[kansei]

hi Stormy!

yeah we gotta do some sort of meet this summer, ideally one with a scenic drive of some sort

Hah. Yeah. The world is a full of people with all kinds of different ways of interacting with each other. Humans are, sadly, insanely tribal. Some folks make their tribes very small and exclusive. There's a lot of that in the world of car culture. It seems that the more folks self-identify with something, the more they are likely to exclude other folks who don't identify with those dearly held attributes.

That's why I've preferred taking my car out to the track with certain clubs more than others.

Everyone around my area is pretty cool about it. Theres a few older gentleman not quite into car culture with FoSTs, they don't wave back. That's as bad as it gets.

 

[TacTownTroll]

Anyone seen or been to Ocean Shores Focus Wars? Looks like held in the end of August every year and Fiesta friendly. Might be a cool time to meet up.

Well, I'm never in my Fiesta when I see another ST. I'm always in my wagon. They would not understand me making any gestures from that. Hah. Just don't drive my car enough to see such rare cars when I do. Now, around here, Tesla's, Porsches, and BWMs are a different story. However, I think the most prevalent cars are Subarus and Audis.

 

[Somnombulance]

This. I'm always in my work van so I always see a FiST and get excited then remember a Chevy beer logo isn't my ST. And then assume they think it's odd that I'm staring. Ha.

The Subaru crowd out here is huge. Easily the biggest car culture in the PNW.

Hm if that's a thing I'd be interested. Would give me a deadline to install (or pay someone else to) the closet full of parts I've been lazy about
