Awesome! I will definitely take you up on that offer.

I was originally working with Future Ford in Roseville, but they were struggling to find or transfer me anything. I then found this one at Napa Ford, I am lucky enough to be a Ford X-Plan member and they were willing to honor that plus give me an additional 1k off including the current incentives.

I was going to take advantage of the Ford X plan but Folsom Lake Ford messed up on their website for an exact model at 1k below MSRP so they honored that pricing and ended up getting pretty close to X plan pricing in the end.

once you hear the Thermal Exhaust in person you will want the same for your ride - it sounds so good in person. Also can show you how to get some parts tax free which was nice.

It's black, I would say it is my car but it is really the wife's. She was on board with getting the ST over any of the other models, she is on board with mods.

It would be great to get together with @mycbtech.

im down to have a mini meet that would be cool.

also looks like all 3 of us need to install the lowering springs. I have been trying to convince my buddy to let me bring it to his shop to install mine but they changed the rules to where only he could work on cars on the lift so now its more me trying to nail him down to do it lol! Looks like it can be done in the driveway I just need to stop being lazy.

oh. i need to update my mod list. I have the steeda rear sway and strut bar.

I just took this now lol it’s filthy dirty
I spent just over $1000 with alignment. I couldn’t find anyone to do it cheaper and some were 1500 and more. I went to Clark frame and alignment so I know it’s right at least
I still have steeda springs in box bran new if you know anyone that wants springs
I’m not doing anything this weekend if you wanna meet up sometime ? I am a late sleeper thought I wake up 10:30-11:00am on weekends
