I don't think it would've been warranted, but I had a photo of the car from before I took possession (second photo down in my photo thread linked in the sig), and you can see in that photo that the foglight lens was cracked. They were out of replacement foglights so I paid to order it in, with the plan of talking to the dealership about having it comp'ed.

Long story short, the service manager asked me if I bought it recently (since I had made some allusions to that), I told him I bought it in May, and he didn't even ask to see the photo and it was done free of charge.

Nice job MEATBABY, that is a huge sunshade though

I ended up getting the Basix Super Jumbo since it is collapseable and I normally have 4 people in my car so I need to stow the shade

Mine is the OEM one (I think). It's a perfect fit. And it rolls up nice and tight, so it's very easy to stow away.

Got some new tires.

Turns out the previous owner put a hole in the tire and tried fixing it. It lasted me the 6,000 miles I've owned the car so far. Discount Tire said the tire was literally coming apart.

So since the Dunlops are shit, and I already had 23,000 miles on them, and I needed new shoes before winter, I figured just get a new set now.



Got Continental ExtremeContact DWS. I know I can't judge or review them for a while but man, these things fricken STICK to the road, I've never driven on a better tire. I hope I can still say the same 15,000+ miles from now.

I was by myself in the car and took a corner fairly fast and I was so surprised that I said out loud "Wow, holy fricken shit". What a difference over these worn Dunlops. I've never had brand new tires before so this is so exciting for me lol.
