Well I'm a few weeks behind on notifying you all of the updates on my car. There wasn't much to report until a few weeks ago. My 3v was totaled in an non-at-fault accident.

I was going through an intersection with traffic backed up to my left, there were no cars in front of me in my lane and the light was green for me. When I entered the intersection I noticed a car making a left turn coming from the opposite direction was about to become apart of my car. I hit the brakes going 45-50mph through the light and slid right into the girl. Came to a rest at the other side of the intersection slightly to my right. Insurance handled the claim pretty quickly and I was able to move to a Ruby Red Ecoboost manual with premium interior and performance package.

Mods on the EB:
Added a subwoofer and amp to the stock stereo
MRT hood struts
Lethal Performance grille delete
BC Racing BR type coilovers maxed in the rear and leveled the front

I'm absolutely in love with the car and couldn't be any happier with my decision.

Ouch! Sorry to hear that about the 3V. Glad you are OK, though, and it looks like you have moved on to greener pastures.

Congrats on the new ride!

Thank you! This ride will be so much better than my last. It was better in stock form in my opinion, it's just a little behind on the power but that will change.

Color and stance of the EcoBoost are outstanding; but your 3V was beautiful as well. Another S197 bites the dust.....RIP.

Wow! Glad you're ok. Almost the same thing happened to me a month ago. Been a bit sloppy with starting a thread on it. Shame about the 3V but the '15 looks awesome. Great stance and love the colour.

Very nice! Love the color!

Thanks, so do I since it's so close to the last one. I wanted dib or white.

Appreciate it! Couldn't wait to lower it, so I didn't. Lol.

Thank you, I was a little sore a few days after in my neck but that was all. It feels so low and I agree on the color. Thanks again!

Lol. Same here. The accident was rough at first but everyone was okay so that was great considering her passenger seat was about 6 inches wide after impact.

Sorry about the old ride, Zac. The S550 is looking great. I can't wait to check it out in person. I'm sure i'll see you at Caffeine and Octane.

Geez, I hope I didn't start something here. Mine survived however, sorry yours didn't. Good to hear you weren't injured either and congrats on the new ride. Looks Great! I'll be looking forward to future mod posts.

Haha. Yeah she did.. It was a 2008 and didn't hold up well at all. She had just gotten the car over the summer. She made that trip for Starbucks really expensive.

It's okay, I have moved on to this thing and I'm loving it. I really don't miss the 3v at all.

Haha. Thanks! I've been smiling ear to ear since I got the car a few weeks ago and the mods only made that smile bigger.

Good to see you're okay too. I know a lot of my local friends had accidents right after mine in theirs as well. Crazy how a string of accidents come one after another. Thankfully I was ready to move on anyway, this was just a better way to move on than trade-in, since I got full value for the car.

It's all good. But I never registered with RMR, I can't stand their sticker. Lol. They need an update, it looks like a school teacher made it with the font. :doublepuke:

I'm sorry, a what? What is tread mane logo?

Edit* I just looked it up, I'm still not a fan. Still doesn't solve the issue of the old looking design. They need to enter the 20th century with a new design IMO. I'm a graphic designer so I can't put that on my car personally. Not trying to sound like a snob, I just can't do it. Haha.
