Toyota dealer is changing the right axle seal in the differential of my car. Yay. It was painful dropping it off there, hoping nothing stupid happens in the process. In fairness, they have been good to work with in the past, I am just a do it yourselfer. I just don't trust others to do jobs right. I have trust issues I suppose...

I was going to comment that it actually looks like it might be the angle / lighting in the picture, but I bet it looks great in person. I kind of like it on the white. It's just different enough for the body lines.

As for the shit talking it, until your ass makes the payments, do you really matter or get a say what he /she does to the car?

Took my car to the dealership because of the annoying downshift to 5th gear grind. They're installing a new one and I should have it back tomorrow evening.

Oh, you can express any opinion you want. But for the record, the same you you think that car looks, is the same way we view you every time you keep typing. So please. Show me how troll you are, Kitten. We love stupid too.

Big talk for someone who won't show us what yours looks like. Isn't it a lease though? So it's gotta be near stock.

They went through the glove box, but didn't take anything, and left my door open wide. Trunk was in Vallet mode, so nothing stolen

This is interesting and I haven't really heard of it. I just purchased some vinyl wrap after debating plastidip or vinyl. After seeing this it's making me second guess my decision.

This car looks great

@jeffsides could shed more light on the type of service or process if you're interested.

Yep, you certainly can say what you want. I'm so proud of you! Look at you; all grown up with your big boy pants on! Makes me all misty-eyed...

I traded mine in for a fiesta st. And you say near stock like it's a bad thing. Near stock is a whole hell of a lot better than that abomination. As is a fiesta st.

So, you traded in your FR-S for a Fiesta ST? Wow.

All of this begs the question, of course; why are you here? You know, here on this forum harrassing those of us who actually own an FR-S or BRZ? I'm sure there are plenty of proud Fiesta ST drivers - much like yourself! - on a forum of their own. Somewhere else. Away from here. Far away.

Back on topic; I drove mine to work... again. I'm waiting on that fat refund from the IRS for a Borla UEL header and OFT!

My wife took mine to work today since she was broken into yesterday. So today I am driving a bare-bones stock nissan versa. I miss my car, but can't complain when the pic my wife sent me today was of her and the car at a self wash. Caption read: "I'm going to wash her for you and put more fuel in it. Premium, right?"

yup...I am a lucky man.
