The new 2016 Focus RS is going to be quite the little hot rod!

My ST is far more modified than my corvette. It's a different kind of fun but a real kick. I did need a family car after all. lol.

I'm glad it's not just me who despises beemers. We live 15 miles from the factory and those things swarm around here like mosquitoes on a humid day. This is my third Corvette and besides girlfriends and now wife thinking they get driving privileges I can only think of one person who's ever asked to drive one. But whether they want to race or just want to see how quickly I can disappear into the distance I get wannabes trying to get me to step on it all the time. I did find out the Z51 suspension doesn't like little poorly paved South Carolina back roads the first time I got into the gas pedal hard so I'm looking forward to finding some empty interstate soon to see what it will top out at. If I get clocked we'll see how the trooper reacts when he sees a 66 yr old geezer running the tires off his C5.

From another geezer, go for it.
