Just watched his video.

Interesting comments from him
Interesting comments could not get past him hitting rev limiter after car was only running like 2 minutes in the cold with less then 50 miles on it. Just seemed to not really understand much about thermal dynamics, friction and lubrication. All companies make amazing machines and 98 out of 100 times the tolerances and margin they build in will take that abuse but the 2 out of 100 is why they have a break in period.

Not when he just happened to get the car, just to have it. He is an IDIOT.

Many thanks, Craig, it's a good way to start the new year. :-)

Chris: A big AMEN to that, there are LOTS of folks just "waiting" and hopefully, the company gets the line running like a finely-oiled machine.
Got to get them to us "Old Farts" before we kick.

Appreciate the congrats, David and Jeff. Like everyone who is at Released and all those that came before us, I'm hoping the transportation time isn't very long.

COME ON, GIRL!

Side note, my front plate mount DID NOT come with the car, still trying to find a plate bracket that will work with our cars.

Chris: I don't recall anyone saying they've actually seen this bracket that allegedly SHOULD accompany the vehicle.

So, please keep us posted on what you find, I'll be looking as well.
When I had my 2015 GT when the S550 first came out I was almost never bothered here in Texas over not having a front plate. I was pulled over once when I had the car and told the state trooper I'm not putting a front plate on such a beautiful car and that I have them on all my other vehicles. He said he completely understands and let me go. I plan on not running one on this car as well.
