I have so many rattles I can't tell which is which anymore!

Yeah mine does it when I get at around 1,500 rpms and pushing the throttle. You just have to keep the rpm higher at around 2k+ and if it drops below 1,800 then downshift and you shouldn't have any problems. This car hates low rpm more than any other cars ive ever driven

Anyone here going to attend proving grounds at BIR? I took off Sept. 7-9 for the event but I'm still deciding on whether or not to track it on their circuit.

I bought the clear bra bro. It prevents rock chips on the hood and bugs I suppose.

I will be there with the car!

So the other day I had just pulled up to work in Maple Grove and was sitting in my car for a few minutes when an unmarked squad car drives by slow and staring at me... He disappeared for a few seconds and then came back, parked his car and walked up to my window. He says "can I ask you something??" "How low is your car?" And tells me he has an FRS as well and we chit chat for a few minutes and he plans on/wants to throw a turbo in his. Unexpected but totally awesome!

Was visiting my parents in Eden Prairie, MN and spotted a red one (frs?) while driving back from Shakopee over the past weekend and I got all excited because I didn't expect to see many in the snowy states. Where I'm at now (California) - frs/brzs are starting to become common enough to see one a day or more. Out of curiosity - how popular are they in the great lakes area?

I just got back from SoCal this week from a week and a half visit and from what I saw, the twins have a higher concentration here vs there.

It could be because the Twin Cities are a lot smaller in comparison to San Jose/ South San Fran area or Orange County/Inland Empire. There are a few of us who have dedicated winter cars, but some are brave enough to not care about driving in the snow with their twin @neutron256 .

Hmmm could have been me depending on what day that was.

I had a bolt rolling around in my door sill when it was brand new. Brought it back, they tore it apart, pulled it out, reassembled it. The next day I heard another bolt rolling around. This one was harder to find, it was under the carpet, by the seat base. They got that one out too. Turns out that neither had fallen out, both were lost during assembly.. My dash has a very slight rattle, and there is a slight one from the right rear of the passenger compartment. I wasn't expecting it, but it's not horrible. I HATE rattles, but I'd rather drive it than fiddle with it anymore. Odd my 2013 Ram 3500 Diesel is the one with the quiet interior....
