My front end looks the same, and I live much further south! I've never had a car look like this before either. I now believe the many posts about "soft Subaru paint" and I have to wonder if the WRB is especially soft.

I'm actually considering getting the hood and front bumper re-painted at some point soon and then getting them all covered with a clear-bra.

There appears to be an MS paint stick figure orgy happening on your license plate. You should get that checked.

Hi guys just wanting to know if this is normal engine noise after the car has been sitting for a few hours
[ame]http://youtu.be/4zmGh-qqYh0[/ame]

Once you start driving the noise goes away and doesn't come back til the car sits overnight

Thanks
