I'd be more than okay with a traveling cookie jar. Even cooler if there was a way to mark the cookie jar as it visits each state. Like a sticker.

Not sure where else to post this but according to a Google translation of this article: https://bestcarweb.jp/feature/column/582222

In Japan Toyota will be starting a program where they'll take in GT86's sold since 2012 and "refresh" them, apparently as thoroughly as checking out the engine and under-carriage.

Might want to do an invite only scheme. Like the person with the jar picks someone to send it to.

I dont want them to touch my engine after valve spring recall fiasco. A fresh paint, overall suspension components refresh will enough for me.

It can be. Some countries are easier to work with then others. My cousins were pretty upset when I couldn't send them beef jerky anymore.

If it's going to get sticker bombed, a plain one would be fine.

Edit: I ment that as a question. Wouldn't a plain one be fine?
