After pulling out of my block last night, I checked the rear view, and saw a Focus ST in TS. This was mildly interesting, because I rarely see ST Fords here in downtown Philly. (The WRX and GTI seem more common.) I drove through the next intersection, and the ST turned -- only to reveal a blue Focus RS next in line! I drove with it for a few blocks. It's the first I've seen, and it looked seriously badass. I wasn't sure about the black wheels from photos, but they look great on the road. I have my doubts how well its suspension would fare on our battered streets, but damn it was cool.
Cool sighting in Phila.

Seen one nitrous blue RS here in Austin, TX a couple times. Always on the same road headed in opposite directions. I stare at him. He stares at me. Good times all around.
Since day one of owning my ST (I pulled out of the dealer and within 3 miles ran into a black one on the Carlisle Pike in PA) I've waved at all the ST's I've seen on the highway and all 3 of them (only been 2 months lol) have waved back. Makes me feel like I'm on my sportbike at times. Give and receive respect.
I have only spotted PARKED ST's...never one on the move
I don't live in, or commute through, ST rich areas so I only see them on the highway haha. Makes for meeting up with them in the future a future headache.
I get pretty pumped when I see the front end of one coming down the road though.

I live near Pottstown and commute into Conshohocken. I see two while driving and one parked almost daily. All modded at least a little. I was getting disappointed when almost all the ones I saw were stock. Also see a gray RS and blue RS once in a while traveling home.
On my morning drive everyday I would see the same guy in a white ST. I always gave him a what's up. Then a guy in a blue RS started taking that route and I'd see him regularly. I never gave him a what's up, I felt like his loyal subject - not worthy of his reply, nervous in his presence. He probably knew too - he's probably thinking "I Pwn all these ST dudes and dudettes"

I can't help but think he was snickering every time I saw him... Punk RS driver

Hahaha, you too feel like a subject to the RS drivers huh? Like the little brother car to their mighty beast. Still have yet to see one that wasn't in the showroom (Johnstown, PA in July).On my morning drive everyday I would see the same guy in a white ST. I always gave him a what's up.

Must be nice to see them so often...it's like a Christmas day present to me when I see one every blue moon.

We have this bad boy for the next 2.5 weeks. Already did base dyno runs and installed our VR Tune. Next up exhaust.
