Nuclear polution on FT86.
Today somebody mentioned that I should sit my BRZ in garage for several months to let the radiation go away. Is there any scientific evidence to it? I know that there was some nuclear leakage in Japan, but that was near the coast. Subaru's factory seems to be located near some mountain near Tokyo. Should we be concerned about it? If we let it sit, how long is sufficient?

LOL. Dont sweat it. If your really worried get a Geiger counter.
If this was an issue it would have been on the news, and all over the place.

Is that why my car still starts with no battery in it?

it's true. also, it'd be best if you sit inside your BRZ in the garage so it protects you from the radiation pollution for those months. you're breathing it all in right now inside your house and whenever you go outside.

Your avatar is very delicious. I have not heard of that, but I am interested in hearing more about it if there is proof.

You get zapped a little every time you make a call on your cell phone, send a text or go online via wifi.
So what if your 86 slaps you with a lil extra... it's worth it. If you start glowing a neon greenish hue, it might be time to put down that 10" quad-core retina display nuke and take a walk.

You should take it to the dealership you bought it from and get them to check for radiation. If it is contaminated I would ask for a refund. Please keep us posted.
