I'm pretty sure mine is more of a freak battery than yours. Went on vacation from Jan 2nd to the 17th and it started with no issues. Last year, I barely drove her for like 2-3 weeks and it starts up fine (did this multiple times due to a more efficient vehicle to drive :P). Original battery w/ only 34k in 4 years. Parked outside too!

Wiped car down with CG Ecosmart, Clayed some spots, sealed it and then wax it. All through some rough caffeine withdraws and cold....realized my white BRZ was slightly green. Smelled my bottle and it smelled like rotten eggs...my base coat of wax 'spoiled' ? Shiet.

Wonder if it's a mileage thing. Mine has 54k (got it with 12 miles at the end of April 2014).

I have no idea. Never had to jump start the car ever (or roll start). It always started up like a champ.

Could be. Was around 60k when mine went out I think. Also did a lot of short distance driving with starting

The lower rear end is better.

Great, a 12 year old can cut and juggle far better than I'll ever be able to!

On the one hand, I thought she did a great job and it was impressive and all.

On the other hand, I fucking hate how turntablism has moved away from vinyl and into the digital realm. It's like shredding on a digital keyboard with guitar samples instead of shredding on an actual guitar. The soul is just fucking gone. Those aren't even full size platters. They don't even spin on their own. Then all the beating it out on sample pads. It's just not turntablism anymore. Now it's live digital sample playing. A keyboard would actually be a much better interface.

No insult to her. Just a fuck you to how the art form has turned to shit. The limitations of the instrument are what guide the art.

Watch Spictakular here... this is not what you do on your tappy pads:

18 years later, I remember this moment in music. My style is the best!
