Thanks!
Was up there last weekend. All roads were in great condition. Only places you need to watch out for was some road work on 180 between Suches and 129.

60 between Suches and Morganton is awesome.

Did the dealer put the autonation sticker on your trunk?

Nope. I specifically asked my salesman to ensure that that did not happen, and it didn't. As soon as the car arrived, he drove it to a spot and blocked it in.

I should have done the same. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get it for.

My mom just had to buy a new car because a highschooler pulled out in front of her:


So we went back to Autonation and grabbed a '14 they wanted to get rid of because the '14.5s are out. Because it had been on the lot, it already had the sticker. Took me 30 seconds to peel it off from start to finish.

Just hook your thumbnail under one corner to get the edge up, then pull it off with as shallow an angle as possible. Once it's off, use it to pick up any adhesive it left behind.

Now, if you've got a dealer that uses the big plastic chrome badges, it's a little more difficult, but you can still pry gently away with your fingernails.

There is a DGM BRZ in my office parking garage, but pretty sure the driver is not an enthusiast--he has a dented rear bumper corner that I think could be pushed out, and he has a big bird poop on his hood. Pretty sure 95% of us on this forum would take care of those things ASAP. ;-)

To be fair, I noticed his car about 7 weeks ago, and he's almost always in early and stays late. So he must work pretty long hours.

Well I love my BRZ too but I have to admit.. I've left a big circular crack on my windshield for a while now, along with a lower crack on my bumper from road debris 2 months ago. My deductible is only $250, so it's no burden at all financially for me to get it fixed. I commute an hour to work and I just don't want to drive any other car right now, so I'm waiting for some vacation time (coming up soon) before I take my car in to get it fixed.
