Feel free to toss me any questions I might be able to answer about space
There's a million opinions about the car on this forum. I'm not sure I care for more of those so, let's get to the real question:

Out of all the aliens you've met, who's your favorite?

Welcome Reiko! What kind of shop did your ceramic coating and, if you don't mind telling, what did you pay?

That's it. I mean, when a NASA rocket scientist\racecar driver puts her stamp of approval on our pony?!

Eat THAT BMW I4 M50!
(even though I want you terribly)

Welcome to the family!
I also want to welcome a fellow scientist to the forum. And Steve we've got the best of both worlds, a MME and an i4 40eDrive (for 300+ mi range).

Good afternoon all!

Just joined the MME family with my new 2023 GTPE in vapor blue with the night pony package. Ive had many cars in my life so far, including several sports cars, and this is by far my favorite across the board!

I've worked on and off for NASA for the past 20 years doing projects like Space Shuttle, JWST, Dream Chaser, and several lunar missions. I say that to quantify my option that is a very well engineered car. I knew a few engineers that helped develop it as well and I’m impressed to say the least.

I also spent 2 years racing for GM in various Corvettes and Camaros including on the Nurburgring in Germany. Brought home a few ladies class titles and one overall award. It was a blast driving those cars, and to have the MME be so responsive and able to really grip the wild Colorado mountain road turns, it’s a total blast to drive!

This is also my first Ford product and everything from the service team at my dealer to the responsiveness of the Ford care folks has been so refreshing.

I’m only a few weeks in and have had my MME ceramic coated and my windows tinted with the UV blocking ceramic film.

I’m so in love with this car! Can’t wait to take her out to a local autocross event and see how she does!

Feel free to toss me any questions I might be able to answer about space, cars, or life in general!

Thanks to the team who put these forums together, I hope my future contributions will be helpful!

Welcome! Fantastic looking car!

(Isn't Dream Chaser a Sierra Aerospace project without NASA involvement?)

Vapor blue is the best color on this car in my opinion. Like others said, there are many issues and limitations with the Mach-E and fords dealer network is not great. But it’s still the best electric suv out there and worth the time to tinker with and fix the small issues that will eventually pop up.

Welcome and look forward to interacting with you on this forum.
Infinite Blue just said "Hold my beer" ???

Nice. I retract my statement and apologize. Z06 huh? What kind of Ring times could you get with that? Low to mid seven minute area? Please upload more. I would love to see them.
No worries!

Nothing to great compared to the real experts that taught me. I pulled a 7:57 in a ZL1 1LE and a 7:44 in the Z06. I’m still proud though. ?

Actually I have a friend EMS friend that does it on the side for a really reasonable price. I’m sure I got a friend discount but it was $550 for the 7 year formulation.
