I scratched my balls every 45 seconds while driving my last car, and it never broke down on me over 140k miles. I am convinced that this is the secret to car reliability.

The fuel pickup is at the bottom of the tank already . . . That, and with the amount of sloshing around fuel goes through during normal driving, if it's in there, it'll get pulled through - sooner...

Exactly my opinion. :shrug:


And a slight tangent - what's up with the whole "sucking up all the debris when the tank gets low" myth? That one really annoys me.

If there's one thing I had to pick about what I hate the most about modern cars, it's the vagaries in the fuel gauge and low fuel light. Being able to drive 90+ miles on an "empty" tank? stupid.

How often do you hear reports of people regretting getting an automatic? A lot. But I can't think of a single instance of someone regretting getting a manual transmission. :shrug:

Something that hasn't been mentioned yet . . . 86 in-car footage was a fair bit louder than the BRZ.

An actual difference, or just a product of individual camera/mic & their mounting?

I've never understood why people prefer an automatic because of heavy traffic. Having to keep your foot on the brake to keep from rolling into the car in front of you is ANNOYING.
