Super Unique?
Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I searched and didn't find the answer. While filling my 8 up yesterday, I noticed this sticker, which seems weird to me. It says "PREMIUM FUEL ONLY" and "SUPER UNIQUE".
Super unique? Is that a factory sticker, or something the dealer put on my car? Or is my car super unique?

No, I'm in California, which makes me wonder now if I have a Canadian-market car. Is there any other difference that I can check for? A place to hang skates? Cup-holders sized for Molson cans?

It the new Mazda CARE program. They want you to know that, despite not really caring about you, they still feel you should know you are truly unique*
*note: you're unique like the rest of us.

My dealer doesn't seem to believe in stickers.

The invoice for the gas cap identifies it as a recall and says that the cap was replaced.
The invoice for 4602f does not say much of anything.
But it's all in Mazda's computer. As long as we believe in computers, we're fine.
But here's a deeper question...
A Corvette-owning friend belongs to NCRS, which stands for something like obsessive-compulsive-gotta-be-like-it-rolled-off-the-line. She judges, and has told me how every little original sticker and overspray and chalk mark counts.
Let's jump ahead 20 years, when there is a similar OC group for RX-8s.
Will the presence of the recall stickers enhance the value of our cars? Or will the absence of recall stickers (which are not factory original) enhance the value?
And did I trash the future value of my car by letting them replace my factory original 2006 gas cap with a 2007 cap?

So, that's why I didn't remove the recall sticker, even when I thought it was nothing more than some marketing tag. I figured, if nothing else, it shows my door jambs haven't been painted. And even though it's a bit garish, it's what the car came with, so it stays.
I could see my 8 going in the garage in the couple of years while I drive something else day-to-day. In that case, when it's time to sell in 25 years, originality only helps.
