That squirrel must be REALLY jealous if he had to throw that on your car... They should be collecting those for the winter season... Not waste it!

Even the squirrels are FR-S haters...

Cracked steering wheel emblem: I pulled the seat belt too far forward when I was tired and wearing a bulky winter coat, and I clumsily hit the emblem with the latch plate (barely... must've been at just the right angle to cause this). I wonder if the emblem is designed to come apart along the crack's S curve if the airbag deploys.

I bet I'm the only BRZ owner who's done that. Hooray for me.
Acorn dent on roof: I avoid parking under trees, so I was puzzled how it happened... then I remembered that my wife borrowed the car to commute, and her spot is under a tree. Oh well, no biggie... it's a daily driver with 4k miles and Winter's coming, so it wasn't going to remain pristine forever.

About 50 days ago I posted that my BRZ had been rear-ended by an old lady in a F150. I received a concussion from the side curtain airbag and some pretty gnarly bruises, and the BRZ had a destroyed rear left quarter panel and rear bumper, taillight was smashed, along with some other damage. Didn't post pics at the time because I was pretty shaken up.

The body shop has finally finished, and the results are below. You can't really tell that it's been in an accident now and it drives about the same as far as I can tell. The paint match was very good; Mike's ended up having PPG come out to verify the mix and the match.

For those of you who are in this thread for support; take heart! Little boo-boos are not the end of the world or your BRZ. We tend to take our safety, health, and well-being for granted, and it's good to be reminded what's really important in life.
