^^ You can't afford me (LMAO) - Seriously, if you lived closer, I would do it for free - I enjoy doing my friends cars - It is a form of therapy for me Usually they just get me a 20$ Tim's card as I know I am addicted to my tea and timbits since I won't take any money

Thanks Just joined! only in 2nd gear lol
My UE arrived at the dealership this week. Now it's time to wait for the enclosed transport to bring it 2000 miles across the country.

Number 197. Build date 10/13/2025. The numbers definitely seem random.

^. There's a bunch higher than that that were already delivered. There's zero logic or order in the badge numbers sequence. Totally random.

That part.

I live in a Land O’ IS500s and have heard practically every combination. They all sound awesome; but for me, it’s a definite *nope*. If it’s not like the smooth hum of the 500 out of the box (which was specifically tuned), then it’s a drone to my ears. The closest one I’ve heard that might be a possibility is Mike’s (userid ‘geko’ or ‘gecko’ something) Revel setup. The outside is this low deep bass, which is glorious. But I haven’t ridden in it yet to hear the tone between 1500-2500rpms (which is where most of the drone will happen).

Agreed the Apexi midpipe only sounds raspy and that's not what I like. IMHO, the Revel is just perfect like Tony described it.

The Dealer Inventory Management has the timeline for the production and transport of the vehicle to North America.

Infotainment screen, you should be able to find the CEL history, if they were not cleared during PDI (they mostly don't) , you will see the date when the car was first started in there
