Picked this up on Friday. He’s named “Blurberry” since I misspelled “blueberry” when my wife said “it’s a blueberry”.

2017 RS2 package with 43k on the ODO but 6k on a new Ford long block due to the head gasket issue. Car is cleaner than clean. Previous owner is a Ford engineer who kept notes on everything he did to it.

Congratulations! Looks like a lot more fun than the Blueberry on Psych so Blurberry seems appropriate.

It’s a blueberry that does such a zoooooom that it’s now a blurberry!

Great color, hopefully the updated motor is nice and reliable. What’s your favorite thing about it so far?

Congrats. I love the look of the RS, that is a car that is going to age very well.

Nice! I think Blurberry is an excellent name!

I’ve had it since Friday afternoon so I guess the pops and crackles. 

I’m gonna do a short review of it in a few days. I’m at out season ended autocross today so I'll see how it does on course.

Tight!! I made a mistake of driving on College avenue with my Abarth on Friday night last week, and it seems that’s a cruising  night, and someone in an RS was driving sort of as expected around my old ass. With the wife in the car, I just drove nicely, but I felt like being 23 again and participating.

My small driveway is off the main road in my neighborhood. I was out there yesterday cleaning up the car and debadging the horrible “Focus” script and a couple S550's came by revving and then while I was inside eating dinner, I heard  a very modded STi do the same.
