TL;DR: My first 2 cars had sex and gave me a new car.:banana:

Well after losing my GT in the accident, it was time to search for another car. I was looking at other Mustangs and really wasn't having any good luck out there. Money was tight because i quit my job and began going to school. A good friend of mine told me they were hiring at his job, so I applied and started working again (Hertz). Now I'm getting great money weekly, and can afford something that I would actually want. Plus with the money from the insurance and selling the car, I had a decent amount for a down payment on something new! So that's what I did. I purchased a brand new 2013 Focus ST with the help of my mom who cosigned.

2.0 Turbo
Ingot Silver
Moonroof
Navigation
Sony Sound System
Recaros
6 Speed

It's not a mustang, but damn, it's close! I'm ****ing loving this thing! It's quick, handles awesome, gets better gas millage than the GT, and I'm the only owner!

First thing I did was remove the 'focus' emblem along with the dealer plate frames. Then I went and got tint yesterday which is the best thing you could do! I have some other small mods planned but I can't get to it until my next day off, so I'll be sure to come back and update y'all.

Everything taken with my iPhone 4s. Will get better pictures on my day off.

Got it on Halloween

Man i'm loving these things so much

also I didn't know if the ST in mustang was supposed to be capitalized or you just screwed up typing or a hint. So i'm glad to see it was a hint haha

I would have one right now if....

1. It was an AWD car

2. It was available in a sedan

I agree with the AWD part, but I don't like Focus sedans.

Guess they decided not to go with upgraded calipers or HIDs afterall. Disappointing Ford.

Nice pickup though! Love the Recaros.

The HIDs are available, just on the fully loaded ST which gets heated leather recaro's which I didnt want. The brakes are actually pretty sticky.

Every ricer will be trying to race you. That's the problem I had with a svtf. Nice car for sure though.

I have been seriously considering one of these for my DD! Nice! How much did you pay for it, if you don't mind me asking... You can PM me if you'd like.

QFT!! You will also get the occasional mustang/cobra wanting to race also (I get this all the time in my DD escort with header).

looks good with the tint and those seats look hella comfy

Looks like a fun little car! Any plans for it? I bet a drop and wheels would turn some heads easily!

What happened to your GT? I must have missed the thread about it being totaled.

I see what you did there. ;)

I really like these ST's. My neighbor just got one and while I haven't been for a ride yet I did sit in it and loved the Recaros.

Congrats on the new ride.
