Thanks. That is true. It has been something I had been thinking about for more than year. I used to keep an eye out in what is available in Ontario or BC. Though, I found out HST refund, getting it trucked over, out of province inspection etc. are quite a process.This summer, about 11 RCFs became available in Calgary/Edmonton. This one on sale by Shelton/Rage2 caught my eye right away and the price worked out very well (also, no GST). After several weeks of contemplation, I decided to go for a test drive and shortly after that decided to pull the trigger and I am so happy I did not let this opportunity pass, now that I have the car.

Good idea. What combo do you have on the RCF? Looks like there are a couple of decent weekends left. I have this weekend and next weekend planned for the wife and daughter. If the weather cooperates, will try and see if we can meet up some time on the weekend of October 30th.

Congrats. If you have the XRS and F, what does your wife drive?

We have a fairly simple routine. My wife is not willing to touch the XRS with a ten foot pole (with the 8 lbs flywheel, heavy duty clutch and 6 speed manual) I do all of the driving and take both of us where we need to be. If I cannot drive her, she takes the transit sometimes and is comfortable using public transit. However, as our daughter is growing up, the need for two drivers is going to be inevitable. That is one of the main reasons why I bought the RCF. In Eco or Normal mode with auto shifting, it is very easy to drive. With all of the sensors, backup camera, lane departure assist, blind spot monitoring etc, my wife seems quite confident she will be able to drive it well. In the winter months, we will still might keep the RCF in hibernation, though.

Good for you brother. That's great news! Enjoy!

Thanks a lot, man.

Enjoying it a lot and gave it a nice wash today (mostly to clean brake dust) and sprayed some liquid wax on it. Will probably be able to drive it 2 - 3 times before the snow arrives some time in November. I am still planning on writing a detailed review once I have had enough seat time in it.

p.s. The brake pad squeals from time to time do not bother me at all.
