The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

Everyone go buy Baconators for lunch, I own stock in Wendy's now.
 
Working on MSP#2 today, work tomorrow morning, and race my buddies Aston Martin Vantage on Sunday. Not gonna lie I'm kinda nervous and going to ask him tomorrow if we can go drive around for a little so I can get a feel for the car.
 
I'm going to make it worth your while by putting you out of your misery and ordering your ST for you. Hell, I can probably find one right now.

We've probably sold 6 or so since they've come out and we've got a sold order that should be in anytime now. We probably do about 2 normal Fiestas to an ST, which is pretty strong.

Got any with no options or just the Recaro seats? I'd prefer black but will consider other colors as long as there isn't added cost associated.

Everything is good, except the morons in Service put on a front license plate despite being told specifically not to by the salesman. He's going to check with them on Tuesday to see about body colored plugs. Just got through doing some setup stuff (Bluetooth, Homelink), still lots to go but damn does this thing have a lot of electronic stuff on it.

Love it. Will love it more once I get some break-in miles on the engine. It will also be better once I get some lowering springs and an exhaust on it.
 
Sweet! I'm gonna have to hear it one of these days. As long as it's not overly loud, the wife might be interested in an exhaust. Her Magnaflow is quite loud on the 6

That's weird. I had a Magnaflow on the Speed6, and we have one on the wife's 8. Neither were/are what I would call loud. The CX-5 will be getting a Racing Beat muffler, if I can sell enough of the parts off the Speed soon enough I'll get it before going back to work.
 
She wakes up the neighborhood in the morning. Hers is a 6i, which could make the difference. The drone inside is quite loud too

Looking good. We are going to be getting a Touring model (in black mica) in the next week or so. We have until June 2nd to get in on the $500 Memorial day rebate. I wish the touring came with wheels that look more like the GT wheels. The stockers on the touring look terrible. Speaking of front license plates, my wife (who is a dispatcher for the state patrol) almost got a ticket for not having a front plate on her 3. The trooper in charge (not sure of his rank) was pretty pissed that she didn't have one, since it is the law in Ohio. I zip-tied it to the grille. lol

Nice pickup. The CX5 looks great every time I see one, but the interior room is atrocious for such a large vehicle, especially compared to the cheaper Mazda5, which also comes in 5 speed.

Larry, do you still need the S Plan pin? Let me know and I will generate it for you, as I need some additional information from you and Jen, thanks!
 
How was everyone's long weekend? Glad everyone made it safely home from Lime Rock.
