Hi friends! Here are my two enthusiast cars, a 2020 Toyota Supra 3.0 Premium, and a 2018 Ford Focus ST.

The Supra is wrapped (done myself) in Orafol Tangerine Dream. So far, mod-wise, it's lowered on Eibach pro springs, a VSRF downpipe, and I'm working right now on installing Maxton front lip, side skirts, and rear side splitters. It's not tuned yet but I plan on doing that in the near future!

The Focus has a lot more done, it's FBO, too much stuff to list really, but notably: Modified Roush exhaust & cold air intake, BC BR coilovers, Tarmac EVOs, TB performance front strut brace, GoFastBits DV+ diverter valve (the turbo flutter tho), Steeda rear swaybar and end links, solid shifter bushings & short shift plate, etc. Stratified tuned for E30, but still stock turbo. The wrap is 3M Caribbean Shimmer and was done by Proper Auto Styling here in Appleton, WI.

I hope this sparks more people to introduce themselves and their cars, and I hope this community starts growing!

Sweet Focus ST (and Supra too)! I had a tangerine scream ST in the past and that thing was practical and fun. How do you choose which car to take out on the daily?

Thanks! Tangerine Scream is easily the best stock color, good choice.

That's a really good question though. I work from home so I rarely need a reason to get out of the house, but I occasionally do for groceries, dinner, and/or coffee runs. The Supra is newer to me, so I have a tendency to take it out more (especially if the weather is nice), but I try to give the Focus some drive-time as well, and sometimes go on cruises just for fun, with either car.

The Focus is also my autocross car, which I've been trying to do a bit more frequently, and I plan to do some track days with the Supra, but not as often. Also zero plans for kids, so I'll never really need anything more practical for that, lol.

I still have things I want to do on the Focus too, mainly a bigger turbo and the torque gusset mod.
