    Nice color choice ;) Here's my 2020.

    Dealer likely scratched my hood

    Mine did. It was shipped by truck.

    Out of state purchase, California registration

    The dealer who placed the order should have selected the smog options(automatic?) based on your home address. It will also trigger a front license plate holder which hopefully still be bagged in the trunk when you pick up the car.

    Out of state purchase, California registration

    I’m toward the end of process of registering mine now. You’ll need to have a VIN verification done which can be done by the DMV or CHP or private companies that do it. I went with the latter for speed. You’ll also need a smog check as mentioned and pay any additional sales tax if the rate...

    Certification Of Authenticity

    Too bad they didn’t include a photo of a major point of assembly for the specific car eg, where the body was mated to the chassis sort of like the photos taken on a roller coaster.

    "Local" dealer has 3

    And apparently with no front seats either ;)

    rough idle

    Probably too early at 1000 miles but if the vibration worsens, check for a torn or leaking motor mount.

    Certification Of Authenticity

    Maybe a different kind of car, in price and collectibly speaking, but Ford sent gift packages that among other things included a scale (zinc?) flat plane crank and stand with the chassis number for each of the thousands of GT350s they sold and had a track day offered too (which also had a...

    Stolen CT4- V Blackwing

    I'm curious how it was stolen if they ever find out and if there is some new vulnerability we need to be concerned about.

    Corvette Z06

    Not to nitpick ;) but the B-2 derived more from the YB-49/35 + tacit blue + software to keep it in the air and the B-21 Raider will be the evolution of the B-2. (I was a lead S/W Engineer at Northrop ASD/B2 division for 8 years in Pico Rivera, CA at the former Ford factory just to loop it back...

    Questions, Nits, Acclaim, and Observations after 1,500 miles

    “Lane Keep Assist (LKA) uses a forward-looking camera mounted behind the windshield in front of the inside rear-view mirror and works when the vehicle is in a Forward gear and driving from 37-112 mph (60-180 km/h).” I’ve always wondered what would happen if a bug explodes in front of the camera...

    When to apply for financing

    I applied for financing a week before my 7/19 build date to get pre-approved. Little did I know that I wouldn't get the car until 10/5 so the application expired 60 days after. Sometimes they can extend for another 60 days but it may hit your credit record again. My situation is more...

    Corvette Z06

    Sounds like they've already passed the self loosening oil filter phase and addressed that but still wouldn't want to be an early adopter. So, far no issues with my GT350 but I waited until 2020 to order to get all of the refinements.🤞

    oil change ct5v Blackwing

    The GT500 has an 11.5qt oil capacity I’ve heard which is up from the 10qts my GT350 uses and that oil can be hard to find.

    QQ: what's latest status on magnesium wheels?!?

    Doesn't look promising. They may not have enough magnesium to produce aluminum parts soon. https://jalopnik.com/the-car-shortage-is-about-to-get-a-whole-lot-worse-1847892481

    Spring Mountain

    I only had time to do the one day and with how hot it was that was enough. Some of the GT350s were the early model Rs without A/C. I think the 2nd day, if you add that on, is done using the Mustang GT rather than the GT350 used for the complimentary one day. The GT350s are probably gone by now...
