That's everywhere man. Camaro's and Mustangs all over the damn place. One almost rear ended another car in front of him because he was staring at my FR-S. Mustang would probably completely fall apart from a fender bender.... or go up in flames like half of Fords.

Stinks that you got to the car after PDI. I too referenced this forum for information prior to buying my Whiteout this weekend. While I was checking the car in the delivery room, I noticed that the antenna was not attached. The delivery personnel was so confident that it was in the trunk because they say the antenna is often taken off before they wash the car and is usually left in the trunk. Needless to say after looking through the entire trunk it was not found, so they had to go back to the service department to get me a new one.

You can not guarantee that the dealership is going to use brand new towels to wash your car or for heavens sake they put your brand new car through a mechanized car wash. For example if they use the bucket and towel method (for the sake of an example) and they don't use a brand new towel, the old towel could have dirt or debris from the previous car it what used to clean. Take this towel to your brand new FR-S/BRZ and you can run the risk of micro abrasions/squirls in your clear coat.
