They broke my watch! (Really, I just clobbered it and put a nice big scratch on the plastic "crystal". :sigh:)

I'd also like to take the opportunity to point out that I have 40+ year old British Leyland stuff that has caused me fewer mechnical headaches than your new-car history. You should call up Freiburger & Finnegan and promise them an opportunity to film the only episode that will be typical Roadkill, just with a delivery-mileage car.

Oh, I'd trash that front aero on a kerb or access ramp in the first week.

Certainly looks good, though. Do you have to run a front plate where you are?

Re: the blinking tail lights, I have seen that while on the track behind a GT3 before, it's a feature that typically only gets coded on Euro delivered cars but you can enable on a lot of brands (Mercedes in particular, my E55 was capable of it.) Not just an artifact of a camera, at least on the Mercedes it was intended to signal "hard" braking based on pedal position.
Yeah, A lot of cars do that now, even some basic hatchbacks.

That Porsche is probably a PWM effect, though. On all the systems I've seen, for a hard-braking flash, it should be all three lights in time with each other, and he doesn't look like he's braking hard enough all the time to set it off.
