Close up shot.. You can still see some imprints left on the paint.. hopefully it will get smoothed out next time i wax/buff my car.

drove my car out to Malibu..started from north end of Mulholland Hwy then got on Latigo Canyon Road.. to Pepperdine University

It was SOOOO fun!!!
I ran into an FR-S, but can't remember which color because I was having so much fun!

Same here, I left it out in the sun for half a day, pulled off all the letters slowly with my fingers, it was a lot easier than you'd think. I did it slowly so it came off completely clean with very little gunk left on it. Sprayed some WD40 and wiped it down and washed my car and waxed. I haven't seen it in the day time yet so I don't know if the imprints are gone but they look very smooth from what i've seen.

So those who are doing blowdryer/floss/fishing line method, I prefer leaving it in the sun and pull it off by hand better. Much cleaner to take off.

Dropped it off at the dealer. Third times the charm, right?

Rough idle. They've previously swapped the cam assemblies and replaced a bank of cam adjusters.

During my entire road trip from Alaska to southern California, over to Arizona, Colorado and back up to Alberta then Alaska again, I totally thought I would hit a deer! I mean there were ram, bison, lynx, cougar, moose, elk and caribou all over the place ON the road, but not once did a deer ever get on the road, only ever off to the sides. Very odd.

Deer are EVERYWHERE here. Deer have no natural predators here, so they completely overrun their territory. They're a goddamned nuisance and danger. One of the real problems with sprawl and high population areas.

Is there not an open-hunting order for them to help keep the population of them down and drivers safe?

There is, but not nearly enough get killed during open season. Especially when you get into the more populated areas, since there are few places you can hunt due to proximity to housing and property ownership.

Hopefully my next encounter doesn't involve a deer through my windshield...
