[max225]

GR86 is supposed to be here by the end of May.

I told the I'd take Trueno or Neptune, I got Trueno. Pretty okay with that.

that's not a long wait at all.

I put in my order in late January, so 4 months-ish. Really not terrible. Glad I didn't wait, though. Now I'll get to enjoy it for most of the summer.

And now the search for a cheap but not beat to shit Odyssey begins in earnest. :puke:

That's a purty bloo!

I have bead on one. 80k, one owner, great service history and looks quite clean @$20k. 2 years ago it would've been worth at least $5k less than that but my GTI is worth way more than it should be too, so meh. It's a wash, IMO.

Update: 6200 miles in.

It’s stiff and bouncy on the highway. Continues to be great.

I placed a deposit for a Maverick Hybrid XLT in velocity blue today with an ETA of mid August to serve as daily and bike hauler. I think I’m going to drive the GR Corolla and flip one of the GR’s after I spend a few weeks with it. Leaning towards keeping the 86.

Didn't Ford stop taking orders for this year?

Yes. I enquired about a 23 order and was told they had a few available units already locked in.

[CaleDeRoo]

There were two MC20s at C&C today.
They look great.

Awesome!

Trueno was a first color choice until I saw a 1st gen Neptune. It seems like trueno’s in manual/premium are still really rare.

Congrats man. You’re going to love it.

Thanks! I'm definitely getting antsy. Can't wait to get behind the wheel!

Y’all boys and girls want to hear some poverty shit ?

The clock in the TSX has been out of sync with the normal time since daylight savings and it was killing my ocd.

So I spent about 2 hrs trying to figure out how the fuck to change the clock. Apparently since the car has nav it’s supposed to update automatically but something corrupts over time and you can’t …. So you have a non working clock. It’s worse than compassgate to me. The clock over rides do not work on the car … it keeps showing whatever time it shows and that’s it.

Reddit came to the rescue after YouTube failed … you have to disconnect the battery 2 min before 1 am or 1pm … then you reconnect it exactly at 1 since the clock resets to 1 o clock after battery reset.

That’s some poverty shit and I’m annoyed af

This does actually strike an anger management chord with me.

My buddy has a 2015? Chevy Cruze, poverty vehicle from a more recent era that also has chronic clock issues on the head unit. When you turn off the ignition it bounces up and down 40 min. I fixed it and it just moved again after power cycling. I think that the head unit has some deficiency.

This sounds like a issue since NAV was optional


can't adjust the clock because BAZN got that bish LOADED

Gonna need to put a piece of electrical tape over the clock readout.

Yep, she got it used 9 years ago… the base model came with a really fugly timex like non color lcd display instead

[max225]

I keep getting post errors. Since I can’t quote the post … the tape ain’t happening. Over my dead body
