Picked up a '15 ST for my son yesterday

[rodrigo]

Base no options , couple Gs below msrp and 0.0 APR ... Nice little ride , I'll allow him some minor rice like cbe and little bs until I can trust he's not an idiot like his dad .

[KyleMS32010]

Can I be your son?

[rodrigo]

Oh I didn't pay a dime . He's 19 and has very little credit history so rather than him getting some 15 % loan I co signed so he could get 0.0 APR .... He put 5k down and will pay it off within a year or two max . He makes more money than me this year , just helping him build his credit ... He's his own person

Good looks there. My dad helped me in a very similar way, it makes things much easier

[rodrigo]

Yeah , he's got a bright future ... Got lucky in a flourishing industry , works a ton of hours , full time college student , gf , and does all the chores at home so this ain't a free ride ... This is just helping him keep HIS money in HIS pockets .

[KyleMS32010]

Good to hear, raising him right. He should be proud of himself!

[rodrigo]

Yeah , he's an awesome kid and good heart . Just gotta keep an eye on his safety so for 6 months only rice allowed . Then we can discuss but 72k bumper to bumper so beyond the cbe and bov for rice factor I will let him put an AP on it after some time and that's it . He does enjoy cars but not to the extent I do lol ...

You'll want a bigger FMIC along with the AP, trust me.

[rodrigo]

Nah fuck that , simpler to get an AP and throw in a percentage of e85 . Fuck working on cars man lol

[Eric28243]

New headlights look bad ass. My dad rightfully did not trust me for shit so I got a discount on the old company Sentra which I drove harder than any of my other cars have been since. Hope he likes it.

[rodrigo]

Yeah looks pretty good , he got zero options so no projectors and stock bulbs are a bit muddy looking so he will brighten that up whiter and yellow fogs . Maybe some white LED inside car ... U know the high hp shit . Cobb cbe and he wants that turbo smart hybrid . That's all that's happening until I see 6 months clean DMV report which I can pull from work myself lolol


After that AP and maybe e85 blend and that's it . Maybe a CARB Inrake if Cobb makes one . He needs to stay slow so I can establish ford dominance in the household always

[Shampu]

Very nice car I love the 15 ST. MUCH better looking that the previous body style.
My parents did the same with my speed.

[Easter Bunny]

I see from the last picture that he learned to be a terrible parker from hos dad.

[rodrigo]

No that's how it was parked when we arrived car was washed and ready for us . I pulled along side far away cause I'm very paranoid about dings so I rather cut into s bitches handicap roll out spot than come back outside to a dent

[predapio]

Welcome to the Slow Turd club to your son.

[rodrigo]

Thanks . It's a nice car .... He's never had anything beyond a 160k 03 Corolla and 160k 02 Corolla . He's in heaven

[Darksun280]

I was actually thinking of getting one of these for myself. I want a peppy daily and I love hatchbacks. Is this car smaller than the speed 3's?

Shit man does the wifey know you're on the forum again?



It's a little more cramped on the interior, but it could just be the Recaros.

So many buttons compared to the speed. Slow, real slow though.

I got my 1g race car so no more trying to be a street hero. If I could get it for 260-300 a month on a lease I'll pick one up. I'm also considering the wrx same price range bigger motor and turbo plus awd

[Nliiitend1]

The ST actually has a slightly longer wheelbase than the MS3, but is 5-6" shorter (depending on which generation MS3 you're comparing to). The ST is 2" wider and the same height as both Gens.

[memin]

[predapio]

Getting Jr an AP?

[Gr8Speed]

Rear. Sway. Bar.

I've never drifted a FWD car until this.

[Easter Bunny]

You never drifted a fwd. Including this.

[AveryPlaysBass]

God damn I want one so bad once I graduate. Hopefully I can work hard enough next semester before law school to trade in my speed3. I wonder if it rides any better than the GenPu

[802MS3]

what does he do for work?

[BenWhitney]

kudos to you for throwing your son a bone. My dad did the same thing with me when I bought my speed3. the buick i was driving went, i was a senior in college searching for a full time job, had $50 in my bank account when i signed the loan agreement... I was terrified, he helped me get on my way. hope it works out for the both of you.

Money isn't the issue he has around 30k saved , I simply want him to put priorities in his life so when I'm gone he's ok on his own . Also he's only been driving year plus and I don't need him wrecking so getting familiar with the car is always best before getting quicker

He works for an e-juice manufacturer as a manager/salesman/flavor developer

Why would you trade a three year old car?

[AveryPlaysBass]

Fuck...you're right

[MazdaBoy2.3]

You could be like me and have both? @Easter Bunny; not a fan of that though. :-(

OK, I have a serious question for you:

Why do you want to go to law school?

[Easter Bunny]

Originally Posted by Vansquish OK, I have a serious question for you: Why do you want to go to law school?

make money and bang hoes obviously

i am a fan of the Focus STd its a great car for someone who doesnt already own a MS3

I am not a fan of poor financial decisions like buying a lesser version of a car you already own

or trading in a relatively new car for a car just like it

[doctavus]

I'm patiently awaiting the Fuckus RS, depending on price of course

What if you travel for work and they are making 80% of the payment on it for you?

Elaborate on how it's a lesser car please.

Money isn't readily obtainable if you consider the amount of debt that people have to take on to go to law school, and the shittiness of the legal job market.

While the overall shittiness of the legal job market is a concern, when I get out of school I will have a slight advantage due to things I dont want to mention here. Regardless, I believe my skills will be best utilized in this field of study and having a law degree can never be a bad thing.

If I thought it was a lesser car, I would not consider purchasing it. But id do get what your saying. Under alot of circumstances, it may not be the most sound financial decision. But by this time next year, I will have my car paid off already and will be over 100,000 miles. I would like to go off to school with a car that is sort of practical and still under warranty and that will last me for at least 6 years after I purchase it.
