Yep, and blown engines, saggy bumpers, wet tails, bad dealerships, and ... Shit the list is way too long.

the wet tails was enough for a TSB so I'll go with that one (I've had them replaced lol).

The saggy bumper thing is kinda funny to me because more cars then ours have that I feel like. Aren't those clips one ti me use and then tend to break? My STi had the same problem.

To OP I'm glad the car is running okay.

All this talk about battery makes me wonder about mine. I still have OEM battery and sometimes I do have to crank more than once to get it going. My car makes 2 yrs in October. Next service at the stealership isn't until October 1st. Looks like I'm going to take it to my mechanic to just test the battery. When the new car warranty runs out I'll be taking my car to a shop I've used since I had a 1991 Honda Civic hatchback.

Yeah, just carry jumpers and wait for it to die. I just got a Napa one for price and warranty

Still rocking the OEM battery since 8/2013, starts right away and never hard a problem (I bet I just jinxed myself).
