The Pandemic Times - 18 September 2020

Long time no post. Not much happened. No AutoX, various other projects took my time.

Guess this is the new high mileage thread.

Up to 113k miles, 2013 FR-S. No major issues, no recalls performed, only a new TOB. Still need to do the plugs.

Sounds like a loss of power. All of those things that got reset typically get reset every time you disconnect the battery. Possibly fully drained the battery when trying to start.

I feel like it'll be more of a "Sportier" RWD Corolla Coupe with a boxer motor. Which it essentially would be. I mean, right now, it's basically a RWD Imprezza Coupe.

IDK, Mercedes said Porsche came from a low-end one recently. I'll ask Lexus what she thinks.

Thus, "opinion". Everyone's got them. I don't care about most of 'em.

Didn’t say it wasn’t. It’s not Mustang level bigger, IMO. At least it’s not as big as a Challenger.

Motor1 and a lot of sites like it are just pure crap. They may get rumors right sometimes, but that's mostly what they run on - rumors. Then again, I'm pretty jaded on most automotive "journalism"....
