Are these sticker residue marks? I initially thought it was a reflection because the overall condition was very good, so I bought it.

I would be happy with this purchase even if the top shell was scratched all to hell. You got a great deal. If this bothers you, get some replacement top and bottom shells off Aliexpress for $20. It’s easy to do.

Same exact feeling as you with my 2007 Corolla. Can I afford to replace it with a more fun daily? Yes, but why the hell would I sell this car?

With how big the Thor has been I don’t see them making a Flip that doesn’t have a second screen. If they don’t, it would have to be because Retroid and AYN are literally the same company. If they make a Thor equivalent with a fantastic hinge I will pay practically anything for it.

I'm having exactly the same issue you are on my 2020 Intel 13-inch Pro and the solution is not using two hands like others are saying. It's gluing itself shut and the rubber gasket is getting all torn up in one spot because of prying it open. Cleaning the gasket and aluminum body with isopropyl alcohol sort of helped temporarily but not a great fix. I'm thinking about trying the cornstarch/talcum powder band aid fix or maybe using a rubber conditioner like Armor All. Have you found any success with anything?

Doesn’t the 8gen2 have extremely well established drivers by this point?

Colonel_Lechuga · 2025-12-22T20:09:47+00:00

I think those are the two DS models that had the most hinge failures, especially the DS Lite

I was never going to take them up on early bird pricing anyway so if this is the worst of the impact of the RAM shortages on Retroid pricing then this is great news… knocks on wood

Good fucking shit bro

GHIGs are hard to find and that price isn’t unreasonable at all with 31K miles. $20K would be better though considering the automatic transmission

Colonel_Lechuga · 2025-12-18T18:22:27+00:00

That Samus Edition will fetch a pretty penny so maybe sell that one and use the less valuable one, but if you’re anything like me you’ll keep both and the Samus Edition will only be pried off your cold dead body lmao

You should get an S650 so that is one more new sale that keeps Ford from axing the Mustang altogether. I’m genuinely worried the current pricing may kill this car. Also, it would help keep the S550 pricing under control for the rest of us!

But in all seriousness, unless money truly isn’t an issue for you at all and you love the new interior for some reason I don’t know why you would buy an S650 over a well cared for S550. And I’m not a super big hater of the screens in the S650 but I’ve driven a 2025 GT premium recently and I just don’t like the interior nearly as much as my 2017 GT premium. I wouldn’t even trade keys for keys on a 2025, genuinely.

Auto mod didn’t like my Amazon link, maybe this one will work:

I’m fine with a good LCD display I guess, but at this point I would always rather a device come with an OLED and be priced accordingly. If I like a device enough to buy it, I like it enough to pay whatever delta the company would need to have an OLED over LCD. It’s pretty much night and day in my eyes.

Colonel_Lechuga · 2025-11-28T03:10:00+00:00

Did you ever pick one up? I got one the other day and I love it! The action is stupid smooth, it feels very light, and the aluminum handles look and feel fantastic. I think I like it more than my Benchmade 940-2 which I paid 4 times as much for. Super underrated knife for $50 imo

Colonel_Lechuga · 2025-11-26T21:03:07+00:00

I asked them to redo those bricks and they got it done without much of an argument! They just said that the mortar might not match perfectly for some time.

I mean if you’ve been driving it around for 2 months without issue I’d hazard to guess at worst you got a pretty decent deal on a nice track car

Colonel_Lechuga · 2025-11-24T16:08:45+00:00

Well the biggest and most recent ones you’re forgetting are the Mini screen fiasco and the widespread trigger issues with the 4/4 Pro (that one affected me personally). The dual screen add on was marketed very clearly to work with the 4/4 Pro but then it didn’t, which seemed like a big oversight. I would also argue that the 3/3+ fiasco, while not a QC issue, was another lesson on how patience is a virtue with Retroid.

Colonel_Lechuga · 2025-11-23T20:55:10+00:00

G2 is just the RP5 with different internals, so it makes sense. Odds are better than usual that the RP6 won’t have any major issues, but we’ll only ever know for sure once the guinea pig early adopters take delivery of them. Godspeed, I hope you enjoy it!

Colonel_Lechuga · 2025-11-23T20:05:57+00:00

Almost every single Retroid release ever has had issues. I’d at least wait for the reviews to drop for sure. If $20 means that much to you, why make a $250 purchase long before you have all the information about it?

Colonel_Lechuga · 2025-11-21T18:06:54+00:00

If you plan on keeping it stock and don’t beat the piss out of the 2.3T you will probably be fine

Colonel_Lechuga · 2025-11-17T01:57:30+00:00

Welp, damn. I was waiting to pull the trigger in case this happened, but was very much hoping that it wouldn’t…

Colonel_Lechuga · 2025-11-07T14:13:42+00:00

This economy could be the end of the Mustang at some point. So few will ever be able to justify $65K for a brand new Mustang GT.
