So I'm joining this TV show already in progress. -- Original post has been edited to ask removal, so I have not seen pictures. I am of the opinion that should I HPDE my car (Which I eventually will) and if something breaks (Which could happen), I should seek out assistance as you did. However, I will not be returning it to stock, removing stickers, ect because that is an act of fraud. You are being misleading if you do that. That being said, my car is almost completely stock and I am also of the opinion that my CAI should not cause my brakes to melt, for example. Relation matters -- at least it should.

Now, How I would approach this would be vague but honest. Statements like "I am hearing a rattle in my trunk" is a truth. Look, there it is. -- From here they will do their inspection and ask questions as needed. Should they ask, "Have you taken this vehicle racing?" and I had done a HPDE event (Which I do not consider racing either), I would tell them, "No. I have not taken the vehicle to participate in racing events. However I did participate in a high performance driving course to make sure I can handle the vehicle appropriately as needed." -- Because that's honest. It states that IMO I have not raced, but this is what I *HAVE* done, and allows them to make a classification of definition for the activity themselves.

I feel for you. I had a clutch explode coming back to AZ from CA while driving my 2007 2.5i Impreza. it sucked and I did fight the dealer. I was awarded assistance but not full coverage. They were able to determine my vehicle was not "Misused" but because the vehicle clutch had significant aging, I was partially responsible as "wear and tear". I know it's expensive and I would likely fight too for this car. The reason: Worst they can tell me is no. A firm no knowing I tried, to me, is better than a soft no because I never tried. Ultimately the answer given is the answer given. I won't bounce dealer to dealer and find out which parent will give me cookies with my milk.

And you do have to own responsibility for your actions as they are. ESPECIALLY when your own sig has you describing your vehicle as "2013 Scion FRS - Black (Track Weapon)".

I've tracked every car I've owned but this one. But I have to be responsible for my actions like every other Richard, bob, or harry out there. Remember that dealer service guys drive these cars too. Dealer reps are often on forums as drivers.
