FR-S is doing weird stuff

I don't have proof but I suspect my FR-S has been sneaking out at night and seeking revenge on people who have done mean things to me. Also door dings and scratches have been disappearing as though the car is regenerating. The question now is should I take in to the dealership and risk them saying it's not covered on my warranty because of all my mods or just keep quiet about my homicidal car. Lemoning the car is out of the question since she may turn on me. Not sure what to do.

Sounds like your car is the star in the remake of Christine.

If you do anything avoid hitchhiking for a while and never cut through dark alleys.

So you are saying your car is alive and going out at night and killing people. And you dont want to bring it to the dealer to discuss said behaviors for fear of having them tell you that homicidal sentience and wound healing are not covered under warranty if you have modifications.

I see your dilemma...

Not only that, but when trying to escape on foot, don't run down the middle of the road.
