Shoddy GT? Now it all makes sense!

I’m a prick because I had to go fetch my own car from the parking lot manned by someone who professionally does this for a living? And this was obviously not the same guy who took my car for me at the beginning of the night? My point is that valets need to learn how to drive stick, and all kinds of sticks, or they…

They turn extremely well into crowds of pedestrians, mind you.

The Ford ST’s are impossible unless someone tells you how to do it, pulling up the metal ring. I had a valet sheepishly ask me if I could fetch my own car one evening since he couldn’t get it to reverse out of the parking spot. You can guess how much of a tip he got.

Drives me nuts when I’m forced to valet. You’d think all valets would have the ability to drive stick, but some barely have a clue. Nothing like smelling your clutch when they bring it back to you.

Yeah, I heard they didn’t even use a digital gauge on that shit

It’s true. That was the main reason my wife wanted it over a sedan. That and she came from a long ownership of a loaded E30 BMW and was desperate for the reliability…

My wife owns one, and I don’t mind it at all. It’s more practical and comfortable for long road trips than the FiST, that’s a given. If I end up driving, which is usually, I’m not allowed to drive like an enthusiast anyways, so I just sit back and enjoy the comforts. I get that it’s an utterly boring appliance, but…

Grasshoppers, as well as large animals, and I suppose dumb pedestrians, will all be extinct in 100 years.

On your side underneath the car fixing all the oil leaks?

You bet!

Vacation, visiting friends in Fort Langley. Good beer and food at that place, and a surprising amount of FiSTs in the greater Vancouver area compared to even LA!

Slightly off-topic, but I swear I saw you drive by the restaurant we were eating in about a month ago. 1827 I think it was called? I interrupted the conversation at the table to point out your sweet ride. And I am from LA – small world. 

All the skills!

No, murder still has to refer to the Mustangs.

FiSTers , of course...

What’s next, autonomous rides around the Nürnbergring whilst performing record-setting lap times? I’m in.

Contour SVT...

What about SVT? Getting kinda confusing Ford...
