ST is a performance marque defined by the following, as listed on the Hero Card thingies they handed out just this weekend May 10th 2014 at the EcoBoost challenge in LA.
ST vehicles are defined by these characteristics:
-High Output TURBO EcoBoost engines
-6 Speed Manual Transmission Only
-European-Inspired Suspension &

Not really, as ST simply stands for Sports Technology rather than any actual organization. I am well aware that Ford Racing Hungary developed the Fiesta ST, but based on what the company calls its own brand DNA it is the only logic I can work out for why the Mustang carries EcoBoost badges and the Fiesta ST and Focus

Soul is not something that is a result of drivetrain. Vehicles are imbued with souls one of two ways - either inherently by virtue of their existence (S30 and HS130 Datsun Z's are good examples) or by emotion expended on them by others. A lemon VW Corrado G60 has tons of soul.

I can name a handful of "new" cars

It did and was there this last saturday. It has no exterior "Ecoboost" badging of any kind. They did not open the hood or talk about it.

as someone who worked a season with the National Mustang Racer's Association (NMRA) drag race sanctioning body, I cannot relate what glee I have that we have finally wrung that

and this is why a number of retards who own Focus STs insist on adding a goddamn blowoff valve when it is completely and utterly unnecessary for the car - it isn't even remotely helpful for performance since the real pressure valve is integrated into the turbo itself.
I laughed long and hard when some idiot blew up his

I thought this car would be called Mustang ST since that fits in with that brand mission but I guess not. I think it's because they have to make it available in automatic. and that's why it can't be an ST

Can someone post the torrent link for this since some asshole has pulled it off the internet before I could see it?

Thank god there is still a reason for piloted fighter aircraft.

Drones are cool and all
But being in the cockpit is totally different than experiencing it after the fact via an oculus rift or computer screen hundreds of miles away

For all those times you're on the road and REALLY need to fax something.

I for one have needed to fax in reports often while driving a high performance vehicle.
Finally, someone has answered my prayers.

It's only punny until it happens to someone you know. It is not you, the rider, that is usually the problem - it's all those other motherfuckers on the road not watching, waiting to pull out or turn across your path of travel - that's all it takes.

One guy not paying attention very nearly cost me the ability to walk

Whatever the hell the highway is that leads to Park City Utah. Wide open, winding alpine-esque roads. Minimal traffic. Stunning scenery. On the way to a fantastic racetrack. In the US.
I am a native to Los Angeles and I was blown away by how impossibly gorgeous Utah was last week.

NO NO NO WORST IDEA EVER
WORST IDEA FOR IN N OUT EVER. To do that would be the fucking RUIN of in n out. The beauty of in n out is the visual simplicity of the menu but the option to be totally creative in how and what you actually order. Giving fuckwit plebes more choices to deliberate over will only slow the line.

I like the Tony Stewart ones. It's like he saw Talladega Nights and figured out that going the full Ricky Bobby in every commercial would be gold. And it is.

ALL nuts.

no, it's a true story and it's a warning, not a brag

appearances are deceiving - know what you're really getting.

also, the lightest weight thing isn't always the best idea

My girlfriend actually suggested I ditch my unreliable 99 V70R AWD for a Fiesta ST. With Girlfriend approval, purchase was made and I do not at all miss 17mpg on 91 octane, not-exactly-amazing handling and constant $500+ monthly repair bills for that goddamn Volvo.

Love my Fiesta ST. I did the ST Octane Academy this

Comparing the current M5 to the one before it is like holding a BBW contest at Wal*Mart. It doesn't matter who wins, everyone involved is overweight.

To be fair, having dated a cute Japanese model with an empty fucking skull and now dating a smart, American blonde with a Master's Degree, I'm tellin you the smart girl

For an hour, dude? You mean to tell me, someone driving aggressively specifically following just you for an hour wouldn't make you feel threatened? It certainly spooks the hell out of me and I don't tolerate it for longer than a few minutes.

As a photographer, it's simply not necessary to follow the damn guy for an
