Well, that's eye opening, the old owner slapped a GT86 badge on the trunk. I'll be ripping that off tomorrow. Yeah, I wasn't fretting too big on the resolved issues, but wanted them stated just to show how much has gone wrong with this car in the 2 months I've had it. The tranny issue was reported once while inside the warranty, and I have proof of that. It was checked again today 9/8/17 and they were still unable to replicate the problem. I will record it and bring it back to them for the third time and claim that the issue was brought to their attention within the warranty period and see if they'll waive another diagnostic charge. Ticking was drowning out my exhaust. It's nerve racking! Haha
Thank you both for the helpful replies!

Ya like Clip said just leave the badges. It was very common to swap them and although not technically accurate they still look good.
You get used to the ticking after a while. I would be much more concerned if it all of a sudden stopped doing it.
Most of what "went wrong" really is nothing for a car with that many miles on it. Now you know the tick is actually normal, the plugs were past their life and the oil was a badly done aftermarket part it really just leaves the tranny. Be willing to bet that the tranny issue is more related to the prior owner than an actual faulty part but still worth pursuing.
