DIY?? As long as you keep records and receipts that would keep your warranty intact.

How about a Evo X?? Surely, you've been on this site for over a decade and can't hate an Evo. The X is actually a bit more comfy for a DD than the CT9A.

I'm not doing a DIY on an AMG.

I thought about the X, but it's a 10 year old chassis now.

The Focus has adjustable dampers, right?

"$400 for an oil change"???!

Would they give you the stink eye if you didn't do your services at the dealer? Bastards.

Yes. For whatever reason, dealer servicing seems to help with selling the car too.

Guys, it's $400 CANADIAN dollars. After the conversion, you're lucky enough if that $400CAD buys you a #1 combo at McDonalds.


Joking aside, that's insane. I don't think I ever paid more than $50 for a synthetic oil change in my life.

A local dealer here has 4 RS models on the lot and they want $46k plus whatever the interest rate would be. I like the white myself!

Once again proving the only bargain in Vegas is the buffet.

Gaudin and Ford country both have multiple RS's in stock. The same ones for a while now. And they still want a mark up. Idiots...

Test drove an RS tonight. The low end was great. Chirped the tires from first to second. In a clover leaf on ramp the car just planted when I got on it. The salesman was having fun lol. He was excited to finally take one for a test drive so I gave it to him. Should have gone into race mode though. Top end was what you would expect for such great low end.

Overall, I probably would have gotten it if they didn't want so much interest. I just want to resurrect the evo and do the 2.2l build now...
