Most recent Pic

I have had the Fiesta for 1 year and it has had 2 oil changes and 1 service(10k scheduled.)

It has been rock solid. It gets 42mpg avereage according to the onboard readout and 40mpg according to Fuelly. And that is with 1000' of elevation change daily.

It is a daily driver and done a good job at that.

I dont really take photos of the daily. It currently is very dirty from winter daily things like road salt.

What's the story on the Sidekick? I've seen electric forklifts that have that same style of plug.

It's a Samurai and it is the plug for a hitch mounted winch. It is called a quick connect plug, there is also one in the rear hatch area.

I was getting excited thinking it was some sort of off road EV.

That's pretty neat, just carry the winch with you then install it on whichever end you need to pull from.

Does your Fiesta make Rally Car blow off valve noises?

I'm quite intrigued by the little Fox 3 cylinder.

Not much of a blow off noise but you can definitely hear that tiny turbo spool

other that the whole issue of lugging around a 60-80lb winch when already stuck on uneven ground. it is getting a bumper with winch mounted soon.
