That's absolutely bonkers. But I believe it - especially with how many body panels on this care are bespoke to the FL5.

I was pretty heartbroken when it happened, yeah 😅 Watched the guy roll into me in slow motion through the side-view mirror. Ugh. Two months is about where I was expecting to wind up when everything's all said and done, so I guess that doesn't disappoint me TOO much. It just sucks that I'm going...

Does "getting rear-ended at a stop light" count as doing something? 😅 On a completely unrelated note, does anyone have any idea how bad lead times are for body panels out of Japan right now?

Previously: 1998 Ford Mustang V6 2017 Ford Focus ST Now: 2023 CTR Not a big list, but I admit that's mostly because I've only ever had access to one parking space. I almost bought a 65 Mustang last summer but I didn't have anywhere to store it 😭

You're the MVP, dude. I don't think I would have gotten my car without your help.

Yup, same here. It's a crapshoot as to how long it'll take before the screen tearing happens, but it always happens. Curious to see if this is exclusively a CarPlay issue - wonder if Android Auto has the same problem.

Well, after 1700 miles of dead silence, my driver's seat started making the same creaking noise everyone else has been experiencing. It started happening in corners (to the point where I couldn't replicate it when the car was stationary) but after a few days it's gotten considerably worse and...

That says "fragilé"... clearly that means they're actually Italian.

Heck yeah dude!! At least now you'll have a wild story to tell when you talk to people about the car.... 😅

How about JHMFL5G41PX000354? 👀 I love this car enough to want to throw it a birthday party.

Can't believe those clowns still aren't budging.

That's unfortunate to hear - they had originally quoted me 5k in markup a few weeks ago. Glad I ended up not bothering.

I thought the same thing!! Going from a 2017 Focus ST (admittedly not high horsepower, but very much American), I was expecting the transmission in the CTR to feel the same sort of way, but the CTR's clutch is SO much less finicky than my FoST was. I got really good at working the Focus's clutch...

Nice!! After a month of the West Coast driving their cars all over the place it's nice to finally have some actually show up and roll off the floor here in Texas haha

I think you’re right!!

Yep - none of the plastic had been taken off the car yet when I took that pic.

Round Rock Honda in Austin!

The past twenty-four hours have been an absolute nightmare, but I have officially taken ownership of this beauty! I still have yet to actually DRIVE the thing - my car came with a bunch of the add-ons that need to be installed, so I can't actually take it home until Monday 😭

How did you find this incredibly factual and accurate representation of me

Siiiiick, that’s the first good news I’ve heard in days, thanks man!!
