Stupid Questions Thread
Ah, a thread where I can get the questions I'm too scared to ask off my chest!
Whenever I first start to drive my car, while pulling away in first gear, right before I fully release the clutch I hear a loud 'clunk' near my front driver side wheel. Is that normal or should I go to the dealer for a quick check? 14 GSR with 5200 miles.

If it's happening every time you park, you can rule this out by applying the brakes while still moving. So stop a little short (a foot or two) of where you want to park, then while braking (NOT hard braking, just enough that you feel resistance) apply enough power to get you into the spot. This squeezes any water out and prevents that from happening.
If this turns out to be the issue, make sure you do it every time. Releasing the frozen brakes by moving the car causes excessive strain on the calipers. It's no different than trying to move your car with the e-brake fully engaged.
If that's not it, take it in for service. That's what the warranty is for.
