That's amazingly cheap, at least as compared to what I've seen cars listed for on Turo in the the DC and New England markets. I wonder if San Diego is just flooded with rental availability, or if these guys are low-balling to get it some initial trips on this car. Regardless, nice way to take...

Did you mount the suction/sticky/grippy disc in the flat nook to the left of the nav screen, or is it on top of the actual dashboard?

That seems to be a dealer-optional perk, so you'd have to shop around to see if one dealer offers something more than another. Just another thing to calculate into total cost of ownership.

I believe the battery is in the trunk for weight distribution reasons. If you reduce the battery weight, you'll shift more weight toward the front, and I think the GTs are already something like 52/48. I'm sure the difference won't actually be that significant, but it does make me curious if...

The Sly Brackets "Bozzmounts" fits on the Stinger too, if you don't want to use adhesive on your bumper. It sits just slightly lower than the factory mount does (maybe 3/8"). https://www.slybrackets.com/

United States?Korea Free Trade Agreement (also known as KORUS FTA) "The treaty was first signed on June 30, 2007, with a renegotiated version signed in early December 2010."

I read something in the last couple of years about modern turbos no longer needing the cool-down, probably due to lubrication improvements, IIRC. Don't take this as gospel, of course...I'm just a random Internet commenter with a vague recollection of an article from an unknown source that I...

There was a psuedo-autocross track too, but it got way less attention on the Tube than the drifting did. Good info, thanks!

Tune is detectable, and will void your powertrain warranty. I'd bet that's addressed with some unpleasant fine print in the lease paperwork.

They're actually 3.0s now, but your point is still valid. I'm sure it's a matter of what was available at the time.

Isn't the majority of the first payment just interest? If so, it would be throw-away money, unless they retroactively pro-rate the interest when the buyout quote is calculated.

I think you only need to be concerned if the yellow dash light blinks for 5-seconds, then stays yellow (p. 5-104). Otherwise, it's just temporarily disabling the function while conditions aren't optimal (eg - immediately after starting the car in the morning).

I don't know why you think they're going to "fix" something they intentionally designed into it. I recommend against holding your breath on this one.
