Default The RCF on lock down.

Well, The San Fransisco area went on lockdown

This was my last drive the 13th of March and might be for a while. We are probably next for lock down in Sacramento.

I will probably just do the best detail ever the next week or so in my garage.

Share your RCF lock down photos here!

Positive thoughts out to all of you fellow F and Lexus owners and your families!

Times like this are scary, but also a reminder of how fortunate we are. If we're on this forum, we have internet access and probably own an RC-F. Many if not most of us have houses with garages, good jobs, and resources. Many if not most of us are healthy enough to not be in the most vulnerable demographic for serious complications or death from the virus. I'm not sure how long these lockdowns and restrictions will last, but at least we are well positioned to ride it out. I hope that your health, your families and your jobs are all safe and can get through this.

It'll be the job of those of us who made it through with our health and our finances intact to help stimulate the economy by buying mods for our cars!

Same to you. I am hoping to start driving it in the next week or so and also first order is to get new PS4S tires and then comes the full service/maintenance and alignment. That is unless of course, there is a lockdown in my city. My office has already started rolling out working from home via VPN and at least 2 meter distance between people so maybe, the writing is on the wall. Wishing everyone the best!

I'm about to take mine out to get some minor repair/redo on the PPF. I'm here in WA and about 25 miles from where most of US deaths are reported. Most places are closed and we were just given unlimited LWOP at work!

Stay safe and healthy everyone!

shelter-in-place, santa clara county, ca as of midnight today (tuesday). rc f is locked down. businesses here started slowing couple weeks back. most stores are all bought out of non-perishables. haven't been into the office since last thursday. kids school probably closed till fall although setup for remote learning starting tomorrow. its been raining but i still drive around in the tundra so i don't get cabin fever...then pretty much fill the tank back up and head home.

thanks to those that are 'essential workers' and out available for others. my barber for last 20+ years has got to be hurting so planning to stop by there quick and if open drop some cash from the gas money not used for work.

crazy times, like something out of a movie...contagion?

Yup...California was just issued a Shelter in Place order.....thankfully I work at an "essential" industry so I get to keep working and paying my bills. But no more Sunday drives for a while.

Living in Huntsville, AL. No orders just state and local government requests people to stay home as much as possible. Roads and highways are virtually traffic free now. Enjoying myself on the interstate with the reassurance of my V1. And gas is dirt cheap around here. Premium was $2.09 at costco a couple days ago. Enjoying while I can.

Scary times, Mid-Atlantic here (MD), its been creepy seeing how empty the roads have been going in to work, it's optional to work from home so i'm still going into the office until it's mandatory which will probably be soon,I don't think I'm never able to get as much done when I work from home, way too many distractions. Plus the office is stupid empty with the exception of a handful of people so it's all good. F is in lockdown mode for now, barring a few days the weather is nice, i will say its nice to be able to take the F and not run into traffic. Sucks because the place that normally does my spring/winter wash/wax around this time is completely shutdown. Stay healthy everyone and be safe!

Another Molten Pearl here.

I am really wanting to order new PS4S (XL) tires, but the Corona virus thing is really keeping us sequestered in home. I am talking to the dealership to see if I get the tires sent to them and if they can hold the tires till I can feel comfortable coming in for service, maintenance, tires and alignment etc.

Under cover at the moment, down here in Dothan, AL. Not a lot of cases here compared to other states, but it is growing more now that they are getting more testing kits etc. Real estate, I am still considered essential, so pretty much business as usual. Doing more virtual tours etc, not much personal contact.
