...that CarMax is carrying the Ford Focus RS.

That’s either really ballsy or really clever. They already carry the GT350 (but not the R), and only $12K separates the cheapest GT350 and priciest RS.

You think they let people actually test drive it? Unlike Ford dealers...

It’s CarMax, so, yes! Bumper-to-bumper warranty!

The closest one to me is in Schaumberg IL and its damn tempting to transfer it down, but I JUST bought a car last month, lol.

THERE’S ONE AT CARMAX IN SCHAUMBURG?

Hmmmm mmm

My thought exactly. Carmax will let you drive anything, they’re cool about it.

Probably cheaper, too. My dealer has $5k markups on them still.

I mean, I had to stop at Woodfield anyway...

That’s less than 30 minutes from me. Not sure when I’d find time though. Maybe this weekend -

They also have TWO GT350s!

I’d be happy to just sit in the lot and rev one of those.

Oppo field trip!

Better idea: Have a friend come in several minutes after you and pretend not to know each other. Each grab a sales person and have them get the keys out for the GT350s. Have them both started at about the same time, and start revving together. Make glorious flat-plane crank V8 music together. Write a symphony.

...But maybe test drive the RS first.

It’ll be tough enough for me to find the time but flat plane crank V8s in stereo would be awesome
