Data mining is so prevalent now it isn't funny. We lose valuable information and give it to companies for free and a few people benefit from this transaction. Really good book on it called "Who Owns the Future" Written by a gentleman who was in the founding of several large companies like Google.

I work for an online ad company. I know all about it. And its not just data mining, it's data consolidation

Seriously pick up that book. Great read about how this current system is consolidating money to the people with the largest and fastest computer systems. One of the good examples I like is Kodak at its pick was worth billions and employed 140,000 people. It's gone now and Instagram sold for a billion dollars and had 13 employees.

Largest and fastest systems, today, means how much can you spend on aws. Or are you a competitor to them. Those are your choices.

Or can you adapt. Company I work for will be bought by one of those large companies, EBay, Amazon, Google, Yahoo.

Awesome!
BTW I am in a process of choosing between Perrin cat back and TRD. I haven’t been able to pick one yet. Which exhaust did you install? I don’t want to break warranty that soon.
Also, I went to Tail of the Dragon, Cherohala skyway and Moonshiner(TN/NC) in April, awesome roads, awesome trip overall! Get to know the car a little more better or rather explored the true potential of it around those deadly curves, but my God that was like doing a salsa with the car.Yes! I did take some pictures and Yes I did meet another guy driving his BRZ there.:thumb up:

So I have noticed something in my car that is starting to show up in the forums now. Low coolant levels. The word is starting to spread that this car is burning up coolant. I am just barely above the "low" level indicator. Kind of worrisome that others have had coolant levels keep dropping even after refilling. Anyone else go out and check their coolant to see how low it is?

How many miles do you have on your car?

My coolant level is about half an inch below full but my engine is not fully warmed up. It's been sitting for a couple hours. Am I correct in that when the car is warmed up, the coolant should be at the full line?

sounds like fun! I did the works EXhale MP with the Mach V muffler delete which doesnt affect the warranty but sounds great. Ive gotten ALOT of complements on the sound...even from a guy who had a MP4-12C and Ferrari so thats a pretty good compliment in my book.

9500 What should my coolant level be when completely cold, car sitting overnight and what should it be after it is warmed up?

After a drive it is exactly 1/2 between low and high and when completely cold it is barely above low. Not sure what factory fill levels are but sounds like it might be slightly low and from the new posts showing up on forum these cars may be eating coolant.

Hey guys, I am living in Ohio now but am from Troy, MI. I am going to be home for a couple days next week and I am looking to get my FRS windows tinted. I was wondering if any of you had recommendations and any ideas on cost?

Thanks,

Spotted one in Ann Arbor this evening at around 7:45 or so heading east on Liberty between Fifth and Division. Anyone on here? I have a dark gray metallic BRZ. I've also seen a black FR-S on the northwest side of town (Maple) several times--it's a nice color for the car.

that was me, i was going in to the car wash right there.

I spotted a WRB out by Huron and Huron Pkwy @ 8:50ish

I have seen: asphalt FRS, WRB BRZ, there's a firestorm somewhere i hear too, as well as a few others around town...

statistically, i guess it makes sense when you consider the demographics of the town, but without considering that, it makes no sense how many of them there are around town.
