Just for once I wish I could drive far with out having to worry about my car stalling when I put gas in it.
Waiting at the gas station for 10mins, the problem will fix itself.
May can't come faster

so whenever you fill up, the car will stall? are you using the same gas station every time? and are you filling up shortly after they get new fuel? if the second, then it's probably because the crap at the bottom of the tank gets disturbed, and can get into your car's fuel tank. if the first, it could be that you should try a different gas station

I've seen people get 40$ ones that look nice-if rust is the main issue could you use a spray to protect them? Such a huge price difference between the two so I was curious.
Thanks

The only real difference is the cost, brand recognition and bragging rights. There is no guarantee that the quality of one over the other will be any better.

Thanks-I wasnt 100% sure. Someone I know got it and I was like "o..thats a lot"
I feel like he should have done something about the antenna first-but hey, to each their own.

Its kind of confusing. Basically, if I travel a decent distance(like a 10min ride)
I can not turn off the car, than try to turn it on again within...say 30-40mins. (Whether its putting gas in or just simply running into a store quick)
I think its a coolant problem, today I had my dad put some of that fun stuff in since it was low-so we'll see what happens.
If I take it straight to the gas station(right at the corner of my house first thing there's Never a problem)
Today I was just lazy and put myself in a bad situation.
I guess it makes sense my car is like "Ashley I'm hot, I'm not gonna start for you till you let me cool off"
Yep, my life lol.

Mom decided she wanted to clean up the basement today and had me and my older brother running up and down to take trash and boxes out to the curb. It sucked, but there was one benefit. Every time I went outside I had to walk past my car. Couldn't stop staring.

It's coolant. My stepdad's 1960 Morris Minor Pickup truck had the same issue and it left me and my girlfriend stranded at a gas station for 1.5 hours....

Another fun fact about my car: whenever someone opens my passenger door it makes a loud noise - haha I'm like with a serious face 'wtf are you doing!?! Did you just break my door!?!'
Their reactions everytime, priceless.
Also my side lower door panel fell off, I tried to glue it back on but it fell off again. Tried to get it fixed-a no go the clips are broken off. So yeah I just have plumbers epoxy chilling on my door.
But the worst was when my left grill fell out(I drive a grand prix) and people would constantly tell me 'you know your missing something here' like really I didn't notice. Got so fed up I was like fine! I'll fix it!
Haha /rant over

I also stopped taking it to the car wash cause trying to explain to the guy how to take it out of park was too embarrassing and I don't think they really know what I'm saying anyway :/
O boy, I can't even talk smack about American cars cause my mom 93 Ford escort still runs better than my car! Go figure.

I forgot that, @Guff went on vacation... Maybe I should keep mentioning him, so he'll get ridiculous amount of notices when he come back...

I'm watching "to catch a predator" this shit is histerical. If anyone is ever having a bad day, just watch this show.

To all the BRZ limited drivers here,

What's the lowest heat setting [temperature number] before it goes to "low" when you're in manual mode?

I tired looking it up in the brz user manual PDF with no luck.
