Since you're in Somerville I hope you're not letting A-Plus fix that bumper scuff. They replaced a bumper on my Subaru and failed to etch it...at all. The paint just peeled right off.

My WRX is bitchy when it first starts in the cold. Hard to shift and runs rough until it warms up. Could be a Subaru thing. Never had that happen with a Honda.
