Hah, Spotify gave me MNDR's Feed Me Diamonds (RAC mix) right when I started reading this ;)

Y'know what else isn't comfortable?

I ended up buying the Motofolk T-Shirt. $43 with shipping to the USA and worth every penny.

that eerily perfect approach... I wonder how these things handle weather, or if that testing has been done yet?

The steering has virtually no center dead spot, if you're a lazy-grip driver this makes it nervous on the highway as any movement of the wheel will have you darting around in your lane. The wind, road and engine noise are all quite subdued at highways speeds and the suspension really finds it's stride at about 60mph…

Yeah, as a FieSTa owner, I have to agree with MF/TST here, if you think the FieSTa doesn't rotate like the FoST it's because you weren't driving it hard enough yet. It's truly a revelation in what is possible from a factory-stock FWD car.

Fellow FieSTa with cloth owner here: YES.

I like blue...

Where in VT are you headed? You should look (hook) me up ;) (with some wheel time)

Re:#10/1) Ford also offers these same perks to buyers of Focus ST and Fiesta ST cars in the US. Similar traveling trackdays to SRT/Abarth and although it's (so far) Only been at Miller Motorsports Park in UT, a similar driving experience to the AMG "basic" accademy.

I beleive the answer is:

No, the whole point of this car isn't about sense - it's about beauty and design. So what if there's a big empty space in the front? It looks beautiful. That's the whole point of the car.

Well, thats done it. I need new pants.

yup, good way to do it though, just bolt in a different sub-frame, no major changes required to the main body-shell.

Auto and manual? I noticed different shift sounds...

ah, looks like Vermont instituted tiered motorcycle/3-wheel endorsement in 2008. back when I took my test (1996) there was no distinction made...

Getting motorcycle certified on a three-wheeler should be illegal in my oppinion, unless you have a valid medical reason to require riding a three-wheeler. At least the CAN-AM Spider has motorcycle-style controls, this damn thing has a steering-wheel and pedals!

Ah, stuck horns... let me tell you a storry about how you SHOULDN'T fix them...
