    Second Thoughts Put to Bed

    I too reserved the first night, a GTPE, but I cancelled before converting to order. I still visit this forum occasionally to see how things are going, but I consider myself lucky, and prescient in getting out when I did. Currently have a deposit on a Corolla GR track edition.

    My GT Performance Edition (GTPE) first track launch with videos, timeslip! 0-60 in 4.12s, 1/4 mile in 12.657 @ 100.02 mph

    I didnā€™t expect a track toy, but I did hope for something ā€˜specialā€™ to replace my FoRS. Kinda got a hunch that this where gen 1 was going to end up, so I cancelled my GTPE when the order banks opened. Iā€˜m going with either a ā€˜21 Golf R, or Iā€™m going to stand pat and see how the (very...

    Grabber Blue Base Mach-E GT Spied

    Trade ā€™em at the dealer for credit when purchasing . Have done before. Keep them and mount winter skins. Put some real rubber on the replacement wheelsā€¦..

    Mach-E GT in Cyber Orange @ Chicago Auto Show

    This wasnā€™t a full fledged version of the Chicago Auto Show. It was more like a pop up shop. Much smaller than usual. The Honda display was barren. VW only had the GTI & Golf R available for press day, not the public. There were more booth baes and beasts than stealership hustlers. Factory...

    Mach-E GT in Cyber Orange @ Chicago Auto Show

    The website says aero covers, not removable aero covers. I looked at them pretty closely, the face didnā€™t seem like it popped off. Either way, theyā€™re ugly af.

    Mach-E GT in Cyber Orange @ Chicago Auto Show

    Had an extra day in Chicago, so I made my way to the Auto Show. According to the Ford rep, those are the wheels, not aero covers. New Kia Ioniq6 looks really nice too. The brushed pewter finish was quite striking.

    Mach-E GT in Cyber Orange @ Chicago Auto Show

    I had one of those Celica GTā€™s too! Mine was silver, and my dad and me swapped in one of the now legendary 18R-GU twin cam 2 litres. 145 hp! 7000rpm redline! God, I loved the sweet mechanical noises that thing made.

    Self wash bays are like $2.50 for 5 minutes by me. if you stay on top of things, thatā€™s plenty of time to hose your car down, including underneath. They also run warm water in the winter, my ride always stays clean.
