Nice photo-log... It looks like you have really enjoyed the car...

No track days ?

How about door dings ?

First scrape ?

Those are events that build character.

Oh God. First scrape. I felt the underside of my WRX's front and my heart sank.

One's first new car is stress inducing.

Googled Opti-Coat as I had no clue what it was. Found what appears to be a very good detailer located VERY close to me due to the search. Win.

Love this pic BTW.

I have an autocross day scheduled later this year. First scratch was a doozy, 1 month in thanks to my asshat neighbor. Along the front fender and door, however, not very deep.

Believe me, I learned just how low this car is on day one. 45 deg driveway entries for me

Opti-Coat has made washing the car much easier, water beads perfectly and most things spray/wipe right off. I have yet to wax it.

Yellow EK is stripped out and gutted with a K20 swap. Unfortunately I don't really know the cars owner nor live in the area
