Hi all,
My name is Josh from outside of Charlotte, NC. I recently acquired a Boost Blue FL5 from Hendrick Honda of Concord at MSRP (they do have a Sonic Gray in stock as well)!
My first car was a 2005 civic that I turboed (poor little d17), making 333 to the wheels at RLZ in Concord, NC, back in 2010ish? It was fun while it lasted, but I eventually ended up putting a K20 into the car, as the little D17 that could, couldn't any longer, reliably. I held onto that car until 2015ish, and it was all downhill from there! I have since owned north of 200 cars. Everything from built CTS-Vs, Vettes, other Hondas (ek, eg, ep3, integras, etc), BMW ///M cars, Raptor, Tesla P100D, etc, etc, tons of jeeps, etc, etc.
This past year, I started working from home, and my 2023 Tundra TRD Pro had only received 3k miles since February, and was just sitting. I needed something "fun" in my life again, that I could get in, and just enjoy without the worries of "is this going to break/overheat" or any of the other demons that come with having a modified car, as that's always the rabbit hole I end up down after acquiring anything.
Currently, I am pretty content with the car, and happy to run an errand all of a sudden if it is needed, and now have a whopping 198 miles! : sarcasm:
So far, I have just had the tint that the dealership had installed removed and replaced with some ceramic tint all around (20 on all sides and 35 on the shield). I do plan to do a few bolt-ons, wheels, suspension, and seat time. For anyone lurking on the fence about purchasing a CTR, just do it. I was worried it wouldn't be comfortable as I'm 6'1" and 250, but it's great. Again, just make the jump and you'll thank me later!
Pics because if not, it didn't happen! Attached a few old rides as well as my current 1940 Ford (burgundy one)!
