- 2018 EcoBoost 6MT Vert, 2015 F150 XLT SCrew
I've been lurking around and learning for a couple weeks now, but I thought I should go ahead and introduce myself! My name is Chris, originally from the central coast of California, currently living on Oahu in Hawaii. I just picked up my girl below right about a month ago, and LOVING my time with her so far!
Meet Lady Luna, or just "Luna" for short! She was a leftover stock new 2018 Ecoboost Premium convertible 6MT, Black Accent package, Safe and Smart package, and Carbon Sport Interior Package. So far only minor things have been done, NAV APIM swap and hood struts (seriously, how does something that isn't a budget economy car get sold with a prop rod in 2019?), with the Roush style spoiler for convertibles available from AM in the garage awaiting paint and install. Already putting together lots of ideas for her, but all in good time. For now, just enjoying the daily runs with her!

What an adventure it's been that has led to her joining the family! I was raised in a GM family, my uncle worked for GM down in the Los Angeles area, so it's just what I knew, so everyone got the family discount. I amassed several Bowties over the years, to include my '91 Camaro RS I sold to my younger brother a year or so ago (rivalry much? haha) and a 2008 HHR SS, little 2.0T 5-spd toy everyone underestimated.
Anyway, military moves me here and there, GM proves they can't make a decent interior, their exterior styling department takes up drugs (apparently) and I start needing new vehicles. Few years back my family thought I lost my mind when I bought Gemma, my '15 F150 SCrew 2.7EB. A FORD! Killer deal, almost $10k off MSRP, beautiful truck, and perfectly suited to my family's needs. Jump ahead another 3 years, military moves me to Hawaii. My poor Phoenix, the HHR SS (I name everything lol), begins showing signs of impending trouble, so I decide Hawaii is a great opportunity to finally get a convertible! The hunt began, and ended up trading her in on Luna, now here we are! I miss the little one, 11 years is a long time, and she was the first car I ever bought brand new...but the sun had set on her for us, and having such a great car to take her place has certainly eased the transition!!
