Congrats on the '19.

Why is Ford buying back the '18?
Excessive piston slap and damage to cylinders. Probably misformed cylinders. November 2017 build which has been a problematic month. They had two repair attempts and car has been in the shop almost a month. I asked Ford CSR manager to do a lemon law review and she approved it.

Drove it. Already have 1600 miles on it in 2 weeks. I like to put some miles on a new car to make sure everything is good. No dropped valve yet (November Build). I am looking to move close to work which means I will be going from 100 miles a day commute to maybe around 12 miles a day if I go with the area i've look into a few places which also means I am most likely just going to commute my Mustang at that point.

Picked up some Bling...

I had a layover in Detroit and found this miniature version of my car encased in Carbonite and made into a key chain :)

I popped my Steeda Spring and Perch in and will be heading out to a movie in just a bit to verify/validate how it feels. After I get back, I need to decide if I have enough time to get my car up on jacks and the Blowfish Racing shift bracket installed before this evening.

Edit: well the change is definitely noticeable. Basically the end of the “spring” doesn’t have the sponge feel at the top end and has more pressure.

Got my lower k-brace and insulator on this morning, haven't driven it yet but install was straightforward and done in less than an hour without power tools.
