You got the inevitable first ding on the car over with, it wasn't too bad, and you were having fun while it happened.

I use carpro ech2o for waterspot removal on my whole car which has full frontal ppf and ceramic on the rest. Really makes the car pop and it's easy on easy off. Dilute it 1:10 and a 1 liter bottle should last a long time. I don't always stress about a few water spots and even if they stay on the...

I know which wheels I'm buying now. Very nice

Living in Nc we are fortunate to only pay 3% new car sales tax which is pretty low compared to most states. Instead we get screwed by paying annual property taxes on the appraised value of all of our vehicles. 518$ for me this year for the FL5.

If you are not really into detailing, I would start by having it professionally paint corrected and ceramic coated. I'm sure your area is full of top notch places to get it done. This will help you start from a near perfect baseline and make all of your future washes so much easier. I had...

I've had the mirrors installed for about 2 weeks and overall I really like them. I'm still getting used to them as my mind can't seem to accept that in most situations there is no blind spot anymore.

After about a month of driving the FL5, my only regret about not waiting for an ITS is the exhaust note. I still haven't heard an aftermarket exhaust for the FL5 that is half as good as the stock ITS exhaust. Plus the different size tips looks dumb. Also anyone considering an FL5 better be damn...

I've seen their red/black carbon pieces for the FL5 in person and they are top notch. Definitely on my shopping list.

Hearing about the fuel dilution in the 1.5t is what leads me to want to change the oil more frequently. Filter won't do anything about that.

I'd never thought about doing it but I saw an interview with the lead designer of the Nissan GTR and that's his recommendation. Filter won't have as much work to do if you change the oil at 3k. It's probably total overkill changing anything before 5k miles anyway but I'm trying for the easiest...

Has anyone tried one of those oil extractor pumps that feed into the dipstick line on this car? Heard they work great on some engines, not so great on others. I'm planning on changing oil every 3000, oil and filter every 6k. Would be nice to only go under the car once every 6k.

Also two used FL5's in Northern Virginia which will give you 99% of the driving feel.

Where in Virginia are you? Carmax in Midlothian has a used type S available to test drive. Close to the center of the state so regardless of where you are shouldn't be more than 2 hours away.

I've been patiently waiting for a Type S since July last year, and didn't mind the wait which helped me get my finances in order. I planned on jumping on the first color combo I liked sometime around spring or summer but was able to find this FL5 for 45.8k and had to do it. I still strongly...

You could get a Kia stinger GT AWD with ~ 30k miles for 32-35k. TLX type S is just not competitive from a price, performance, comfort, standard features, or even reliability standpoint. Looks good from the front though.

2nd half of 2024 and into 2025 will be great for low mileage used sports car deals. US economy is already in recession if you exclude Healthcare and government spending and only trending down. Rest of the world looking even worse.

I've been the biggest anti electric car guy on the planet but my little brother just got a "used" R1T quad motor with 2500 miles for 61k. After listening to me tell him how dumb he is for buying an electric one too many times, he showed up in my driveway with it and demanded I drive it. If you...

I'm still on the wait list but if I get confirmation that the next gen 4runner will be offered in manual before my white/red ITS comes in....

Does this help with rev hang?

Looks good but now you need red seatbelts
