Cagalli Yula, Gilly's Auto, Krown Rust Proofing

Fourth year taking Cagalli Yula (2014 Subaru BRZ Limited) to Gilly's Auto now in Lebanon, NH for her annual Krown treatment. As usual had a nice conversation with Josh and Heather while the car was being sprayed.

As usual I used this time to examine the underside of the vehicle.

Third year taking Cagalli Yula (2014 Subaru BRZ Limited) to Gilly's Auto in Grantham, NH for her annual Krown treatment. As usual had a nice conversation with Josh and Heather while the car was being sprayed.

Between this and the last visit we have got winter tires and new wheels and summer tires. Josh lets me take a look underneath and thoroughly examine the under side.

Second year taking Cagalli Yula (2014 Subaru BRZ Limited) to Gilly's Auto in Grantham, NH for her annual Krown treatment. Josh and his wife are good people and company during the process. This time I decided to take some photos underneath while she was up on the lift.

As you can see, the exhaust pipe has some real rust to it. But aside from the exhaust rust she is much cleaner than expected of a 2014 that has seen five winters.

Krown provides a rust proofing treatment that is applied annually. The reviews on it are very good, they have been in a business for a long time, if it is something you are interested in it is worth looking up. I use it on my daily driven Subaru BRZ because I would like the chassis and body to last a good long time rust free.

If you get the car treated early enough, i.e. within 6 months of purchase, Krown will guarantee the car to be rust free for life.

Geico / Cavallo Auto Body (Chadds Ford) Repair Experience

My car was in need of repair due to the accident on 01/12/2016.
I had a good experience with Cavallo Auto Body (Chadds Ford) before when I had paint chips repaired, so I decided I would have this repair done there as well.
I dropped the car off on 01/15/2016 and got this rental. I got the car back on 02/17/2016. The repair took a while.

What I missed most about my car was the steering. If you hold the wheel at 9 and 3 or 10 and 2 and you make a 90 degree turn it takes ~180 degrees of turning from a dead stop and ~90 degrees of turning pretty well anywhere above 5-10 MPH. This is so much nicer than all rentals I've driven recently where right and left turns, especially low speed ones, require lots of steering wheel cranking.

These photos were taken with my new circular polarizing filter.
