In case anyone missed it on facebook the Houston86 club has a limited number of shirts for sale. There is no profit in it for us just as an fyi.

Kinda bitter sweet. She was my first. Lol. I have no choice but to take the FR-S out tomorrow. 44 mile round trip to the Med Center and back. Most nervous about parking. Those idiots at the hospital have no respect for other people's cars.
So there's another FR-S in the med center other than me now? Haha. I park further away from cars, but honestly, later on you will get door dings if its your daily :/

I was driving home last Monday, the day before I picked up my Argenta Fr-s, when I saw one parked across the street from my hospital. Kinda saw it between the bars of the fence. You wouldn't happen to be across from the VA huh?

But yeah. It's my daily driver. I get to work before most so I get a corner spot more often then not, but its still a zoo out there.

I park in the brown parking lot by the bayou. I guess it's somewhat near the VA but not across.

Paint Issues?

This past weekend I polished, debadged, and applied Opti-Guard to a customer's new FR-S. While polishing I found several issues with the paint, especially on the top of the car. Is this something that is many of you are seeing?

It was nothing a little wet sanding and polish could not fix, but it was unusual for a vehicle fresh from the dealer.

Click on the link to see one example of the damage and a few more of the finished product. The car turned out beautifully.
