I like the interior more now than when I first got it! It has a good combination of comfort and ruggedness.

All those buttons used to look out of date, but now reminds me of my beautiful Nakamichi Dragon tape deck 😊

Did you wrap the wheel yourself? I've been meaning to order one for mine but keep getting caught up with work/kid stuff and keep forgetting lol.

Interior looks great!

Thanks. My wheel is the official M Performance Alcantara wheel. You lose heating but with the alcantara I haven’t needed the heat. If stays cool in summer and warm in winter. The alcantara has held up for 3 years now…I also prefer the grip of the Alcantara over the original leather. TBH. I have only brushed the Alcantara, no deep cleaning so far.

It was easy to swap out. Also, I believe the prices are pretty attractive now.

I added the M Sport wheel (heated) shortly after purchasing my F15 and I agree, it's definitely an easy process. I've had good experiences wrapping wheels myself in the past so I'll likely go that route instead of buying yet another wheel lol.

Was missing my F15 today. One of my favorite cars I've owned.

This photo was taken at President Lyndon B. Johnson's ranch in Stonewall, TX. You can see the runway on the left. It used to be a grass landing strip which was upgraded to asphalt after he became President. Too small to land Air Force One but perfect for his JetStar, dubbed "Air Force One Half".

Basically a perfect looking SUV shot! The symmetry looks amazing

fixed some curb rash on a rear wheel and bought it a battery charger because I killed it from not driving it in over 2 weeks and it’s the original battery from 2017. time for an upgrade?

Who makes those car mats? I have epoxy that's starting to lift. This might be a good option for me.

Some Armor All garage mats I got off Amazon. We rent this place so it’s a happy medium without getting to epoxy the floor.

I got same issue unfortunately. Bad concrete mixture in my case, likely, old house. This works well for me if you need another solution with less coverage and can be removed for cleaning - got grid with sticker dots on baseboard so I know placement before I pull in.

I’ll throw a little summertime goodness on the thread. Took her out to Oceano Dunes at Pismo Beach, not a problem. Would love to have amber rear turn signals, but I’m very happy with the smoked lenses.
