i for one haven't seen this video and found it pretty entertaining lol

Cade01 · 01-30-2013, 09:54 PM

Not saying it wasn't funny just saying it was already out there, didn't mean to be so blunt, had a rough day with my son. Sorry.

russv · 01-30-2013, 11:46 PM

Hilarious and true.

campy · 01-31-2013, 09:49 AM

Oooohhh this is a joke. When I first saw it a while back, I got half way through him complaining about the car before I just shut it off. Not my kinda humor I suppose

TemeCal · 01-31-2013, 10:03 AM

This is the forum member @Dezoris. I didn't find this video that funny or useful, but he's contributed quite a bit of good information to the forum (i.e.: DIY information for catch can, LED lighting, crash bolts, tranny/diff fluid change, alignment, etc...)

tech4pdx · 01-31-2013, 10:43 AM

Wow.. Wtf is up with all of this negativity. It's an automotive forum guys. Does not reflect well at all. I respect that everyone has diff opinions, but if you don't like the humor in the vid just don't reply to it.

Btw, for those of you who are in denial about this car (FR-S/BRZ), it's a shit box that only does a few things right. Not saying that I don't like it for those few things, but it definitely needs more refinement. Yeah, I own one..

Dezoris · 01-31-2013, 11:29 AM

This video was never really meant to be all that serious. But damn did it piss people off.
I do have a follow up uploading in two weeks that will address new issues and most of the peoples insane comments.

But you knew it was a shit box before you bought it, right? Just sayin . . .

tech4pdx · 01-31-2013, 11:40 AM

No, actually I didn't. Didn't have a whole lot of time behind the seat. I knew the car was going to be raw, but the "refinement" comment was targeted more at the obvious issues this car has had. I know first year cars tend to have issues, but I was expecting better.

Again, not saying I don't like the car (I would be selling it if so). I just feel that Toyota/Subaru could have done a better job at mitigating the issues. That's it.

I'm sorry, you must be confusing denial with an ability to appreciate what something does have instead of being completely ungrateful because of what something lacks. Anyone who calls this car a "shit box" has quite a skewed perspective on life IMO.
Think about the millions upon millions of people all over the world who are driving cars that are older than most of us on this forum, cars that are on the verge of breaking down, completely ghetto rigged just enough so that it gets them where they need to go and back. Think of all the people in east asia on their old ass beat up scooters scooting around. All these people who would be able to truly appreciate this creation, if only they could have one, that is apparently not good enough for you, as it is simply a "shit box".

tech4pdx · 01-31-2013, 11:46 AM

As an example, just think how many people are having problems with the manual transmission alone? Especially in cold weather. I can barely get it out of first gear when the temp drops below 35 F. I NEVER had this problem with the T56 6-speed transmission (f-body) in extremely cold weather in Chicago. Having to resort to diff fluids to "fix" it is just asinine. Which is what I'm doing..

I didn't mean to stir things up. I saw this video a few months ago, posted by Dezoris. He has contributed quite a bit to the forum, and his DIY articles have helped me tremendously.

It's certainly not a knock on him, because this was his only video that I didn't care for. But, like Dezoris said above, it was never meant to be a serious video. Dezoris puts together some very nice DIY videos, which I'm sure many (including me) are grateful for.
