That Evora is a beautiful machine and I'm sure an absolute joy to drive. Personally I'm hoping they eventually bring the new Alpine a110 to the North American market. It's exactly what I want, but the Evora is way up there on the list too. Not that there is anything at all wrong with my 912E, but reality, parts availability and surging value of classic air cooled Porsches suggests that someday in the next 20 years or so it may have to be sold. If that ever happens I very much want to replace it with something light, 'underpowered' by American standards, extremely nimble, with a rearward weight bias, and both reasonably affordable and reliable. That really, really limits my choices.
Despite owning it for nearly five years, I have just recently gotten into detailing so it feels new to me now.

Hmm, you kind of contradicted yourself there I love it. It seems to be quite a head turner, perhaps because many don't know what it is yet.You either love the Mach E styling or you hate it. I fall somewhere in between. Points for uniqueness but it can't decide what it wants to be when it grows up. An SUV or a Sedan. And pretty sad they put the Mustang name on it as there is nothing Mustang about it.
Nice first attempt for Ford though and it definitely will turn heads.
Congrats on the new ride!
Speed! I had a first gen. Miss that car. I picked up an evo9 afterI missed my old Mazdaspeed 3, so I got another one. 2012 tech package. This one isn't as clean as my old one, but it's better in almost every other way. 110K on the motor. BNR S1, Cobb DP and full exhaust, Damond motor mounts, BC coilovers, Evo X wheels. I'm going to get the roof wrapped and see about getting the hood and the wing resprayed. It's nice to be back in a Mazdaspeed.

981 GTS's are the bomb. I notice you have the mesh installed on the front as well. I drive one every now and then and they are FANTASTIC! They hold their value extremely well and are rare (I've heard +/- 1,000 981 Cayman GTS's produced between 2015-2016). What kind of brakes do you have? Considering the Girodisc or 350/330 Porsche factory upgrade... looks like you may already be way past that.My new-to-me Cayman GTS spent the last 3 weeks with the detailer for paint correction, paint protection film, and ceramic coating. It returned home on Tuesday and I took a few beauty shots of it this morning. It goes to the car audio shop on the 9th to have a CAN bus cable installed for an AiM lap timer in preparation for its next track day on March 27.

I am keeping the car mostly stock. I have Sebro slotted rotors on the car with Ferodo DS3.12 pads. At $2300 for a set, Girodisc rotors are a bit spendy for an upgrade whose need has yet to materialize. I was up at the Ridge Motorsports Park (Shelton, WA) over the weekend and the pads were great on track, albeit somewhat noisy on the street.981 GTS's are the bomb.
