Not that I'm in the market for a new car right now, but the Fiesta ST having four doors is its largest turn off for me. I can't really explain it, either. I just find two door hatches to be much more aesthetically pleasing.

You can drive a manual? You just keep getting better and better!

Agreed. Coors is fucking tasty. The generic, blind hatred of all domestic macros is tiring.

I actually like the Rancho! But that's coming from somebody in the US who will (likely) never get to see one in person, let alone take one out for a drive.

For some odd reason I really enjoy your bulleted lists.

I thought this was common knowledge but based on replies to your post I guess not. Thanks for spreading the word!

You're putting dielectric grease on the DIC's first, right? Also, I'd only trust Saab or Proparts DIC's. And change your plugs every 10-15k, properly gapped, of course.

I am sorry I have had to write you such a long letter, but I did not have time to write you a short one.

I like the cut of your jib, sir. It takes a special breed to be scared away from a 323 GTX only to run to an ST165 All Trac instead. I can't imagine how painful it must have been trying to work on that thing!

They have Golden Retrievers in Europe?!

Ehhh they didn't bring one with a Cosworth engine over here which really kills the XR4Ti for me.

I would much rather somebody just bring back the C28 instead of something "inspired by". I know that would never happen due to emissions and safety, but I can dream...

Wear 'em high and tight!
