I can't believe I'm the only one with this issue around here. When I first called the dealers about it they said that they had never heard of the issue.
My second replacement set is on order. Scion is very aware of it.

I have not noticed any in mine, but mind you lately, there has been so much rain, I wouldn't be able to tell inside from outside. I am going to start paying attention now though.

One tail light has water trapped in it, the other condenses and gets foggy. Really irritates me! Lol

My dealer called me this afternoon to let me know my car is built and on the sea. Home stretch!

They're also going to take my 'vette and put it in the showroom so I don't have to get storage for two months for it while the FR-S gets here. Just like that my experience with Heffner goes from negative to positive.

Let me be the first to say congrats, I am happy that things are starting to look up for you. I can't remember (read too lazy to check) are you slapping winter tires on as a DD?

Yeah, I will be. The decision I've been struggling with is whether to get 16" steelies and put winter tires on those, or to put winter tires on stock wheels and get 18"s next spring. I'm probably going to go with steelies.

I noticed some condensation too, the second day I had it. Nothing since but I doubt the problem went away just like that. I'll be keeping an eye on it. That's what a warranty is for!
Congrats thorlius! It'll be tough to focus on anything else for the next little while! Enjoy the anticipation!

An easily handled irritation eh? Damn thing could have no tail lights at all and I'd still love it!

I think we should organize some kind of christening party for Thorlius.

Congrats on the light at the end of the tunnel.

Congrats Thorlius. The wait is worth it.

My passenger taillight has a small pool in it. I called my dealer and they apparently have the recall notice so I'll be getting it replaced soon. I wonder how much more will accumulate this week with Sandy coming ashore ...

I put the car away this Friday. Winter beater time! Will make spring much more exciting.

I haven't actually seen any cars in almost a month now.

Saw the same white FR-S that I've seen around Waterloo a few times on Thursday or Friday morning at the Shell on Davenport/Northfield. Also saw a hot lava in Kitchener out at Ottawa/Homer Watson on Saturday afternoon.

Otherwise, I haven't had any news from Heffner yet about my car's whereabouts, so no news on my end.
