With a 2016 Focus RS. Bought it from Basil Ford last night, picked it up this afternoon. Has all options, including the separate summer/winter tires. Car is damn good. Not that I have much to compare it to, but even on salty roads and snow tires, it handles and sticks like a dream. Now to just wait for summer. To go from selling all cars and having just the Veloster thanks to shoulder surgery to this makes me moist. ![http://i.imgur.com/rpVxhDJ.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/rpVxhDJ.jpg) ![http://i.imgur.com/iW1t1Uo.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/iW1t1Uo.jpg) ---

First RS on the boards? I couldn’t stomach the price point, but DAMN am I jealous. I’ll end up with a lesser AWD, MT turbo car here soon. UGH ---

I mean its only like 3x the power. thats small right? They had the white one and a grey one. Not that grey was bad, but I love how clean white cars look. Esp with the blue accents on this. The price, while high was a little lower for this one. I got it for 39k with 5k miles on it - but it was never registered so I am the first owner. It was the demo car and the owners son had it i guess - but for the price with RS2 package, Moonroof, Summer and Winter wheels/tires, and Scorpian exhaust - I was ok with that. Luckily I dont drive far to work to get in trouble. Car has power everywhere and boost/exhaust noise is addicting. ---

These are all over Ford’s Dearborn campus now, but I haven’t seen any in white (way better than the sad gray). :tup::tup: ---

It has a drift mode. (Normal, Sport, track, and drift). It is a very noticable difference with how much power it sends to the back ---
