I would've thought it would be looking like a fool because you didn't pack a wacky Hawaiian shirt for your visit.
Only kidding of course, I've always wanted to try a Corvette as well. Love the clean C5 look compared to the newest gen.

Has anyone had to get carbon fiber repaired (spoiler, for example)? Any recommendations on who is good at this in the city?
Thanks,

Cochrane has it's annual Classic car show this Sunday. Helleanor (as I've named my car) will be in attendance under the 'specialty' category. Stop by and say hi if you're bored.

Screamin' Paintworks did this for me and the results were really good. No one else I talked to in the city seemed interested in even trying.

Has anyone done any work with condensers?
I've had to replace my AC Condenser twice. Most recent one was done in June and i'm having the same issue once again. I babied my AC this summer (low fan, never going full AC or LO temp), but this weekend it started to blow warm air once again and not cool. I've got it booked to go into the shop once again to try and get to the root of the issue, but I have my doubts with them now.
Oh, and it's a 2018 Honda Civic Hatch

While I'd much rather have a GTC4Lusso over either of these, I prefer the generally cleaner lines and silhouette of this to the Urus. Everytime I see a Urus in real life, it just seems too busy and haphazard in its design. I know that's a Lambo trait, but it just feels too spastic on that car.

The Urus looks more aggressive but Ferrari tries to be classier. I wish they had just updated the GTC4 Lusso, which was my favourite modern Ferrari, but everyone wants that extra ride height these day.
The suspension is really interesting. How often are those motors going to fail?

I wonder if Ferrari wants to get in on the F1 medical car game with this.

I agree that the Urus is just too busy.
As for this, I think it entirely misses the point of making a sport ute: in order to have some space. If I want a sports car, I'll buy a sports car. I am buying an SUV because I need a vehicle that is both comfortable and functional, with some room in it.
437 litres of space is nothing - an RS7 has 535. Can you even get a couple sets of golf clubs in the back?
And yes I know, you don't buy a Ferrari for the space. But again, that is the point of an SUV - there are other, nicer, Ferrari's, the SUV is supposed to be a Ferrari that actually has some functionality

I doubt the racing team would allow it. It would be cool to see though.

Why? Merc and Austin Martin do it. It's good exposure and marketing for everyone.

It's going to be the biggest selling Ferrari ever and the money they make selling that should feed development of their bread and butter sports cars much like how Porsche is more prosperous than ever because of their SUV sales.

Except the Porsche SUVs were semi-useful and attainable.

I can manage 2 sets with half that capacity so I assume so.

Much more interested in this than some silly Ferrari crossover anyway...

Between this, the much-improved 86/BRZ, the new Z, now manual Supra, Elantra N, Civic SI/R, always solid GTI/R etc, it's not a bad time for enthusiasts of relatively affordable cars with manuals.

Well it's really about the width, which is a function of the suspension and wheel wells.
I have 400 and some in my GT as well, but 2 sets have to be well placed to get in there. And the GT is every bit as large as the RS7 overall
