That's what I call commitment! That's also called "home improvement" (better than "fiasco"). In the end, I'm quite sure, well worth it. In other words, the injuries diminish (heal) as the miles rack up.

Not an F- type owner unfortunately, but was at the dealer yesterday and there was a 2016 IRR R (AWD), loaded including carbon brake package getting ready for delivery. I understood the owner traded their 2015 R for the 16. Now there is a review that would be good to hear after a few months of driving. I would expect there are forum members that will have switched? Also saw a BRG with carbon brakes, beautiful cars you guys own......

Took a big cleanup/organization to fit a 2nd car into my two-car garage. This was part of it.

I really would like to have the CCB (not just for the color), but they're not available with the 6 speed. If getting the 6 speed didn't trump getting an R, certainly nothing else could possibly trump getting the 6 speed.

Oh yeah. I did read that very recently in your other thread. In the words of Miss Emily Litella, never mind.

That's exactly why I have a three car garage... so I can fit TWO of them in.
