Are corvettes hot hatches because I could be down for that.
Hmmmm:

No. I also had a 944, which I'd also say is out of bounds for being a hot hatch.

I'm going to run my temp tags until I get pulled over because the toll road can't bill temp tags. This will save me approximately $200 a month.

Really late, but interesting -- where? I had a FL temp tag and EZ Pass up here in Mass billed me for it just fine.

Not useful data point, but the first American Type R went for 200K as a donation for pediatric brain cancer.

In news that I know affects a couple of people in this thread, it looks like Ford finally admitted that the Focus RS has some issues with the head gasket. I know that the issue was known, I don't think I'd seen that Ford had admitted it though.

People have seen this fairly convincing Mustang gasket analysis, right?:

Curious if Ford will acknowledge this failure mode.

Apparently 27,000 Focus RS have been sold in 2016, 2017, based on the gasket recall info. I'm surprised they sold that many.

Practically speaking, you're correct, but there are ways of integrating a backup camera without a screen in the console. My Mustang has the backup camera image displayed on one side of the rear-view mirror.

I prefer the in-mirror setup.
