I went to my local convenient store to only see this giant Ford behemoth of a truck parked right next to me and the SHO felt utterly small but all was good.  Z

Apparently the F150 is not the only vehicle suffering IC condensation issues:

Cover Plate partially covering Intercooler must be left intact – 2016 Ford Focus RS
oemdtc July 2, 2016 Info

2016 Focus RS – Cover plate partially covering intercooler must be left intact

2016 Focus RS Intercooler plate which partially covers the intercooler area is necessary for the vehicle.

Do not remove this plate it is required for robust durable function of the vehicle.

Removal may cause water ingestion from normal condensation and result is engine damage.

Derive is the parent company of SCT which uses their software.

So for anyone wondering about your tune and warranty, pay close attention to this....

"The software does not affect the manufacturer’s warranty, and it utilizes settings already available in the computer system inside the vehicles."

Interesting argument....At first I thought that was just code for "Ford can't tell if you're tuned because we cover our tracks really well", but then it goes on to say the tune can stay on the car for the life of the vehicle.

Did they just tell us how to defend ourselves from tune warranty denial?

Latest update on the pipeline that could affect gas prices in S.east.  Z  http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/latest-north-carolina-working-replenish-gas-supplies-42191123

A lot of stations around me are out of fuel. 

The station I stopped at only had premium left, so no problem for me   Hope it gets cleared up soon.  Gas prices have already climbed about $.30/gallon.
