Random thoughts thread

So, I like to drive through the Fiat dealership parking lot occasionally and see if they have any 4c's in general population. I've asked a couple of time and you can't drive them unless you want to buy one. I figure if any are actually on the lot I'll have a shot at it.

Well, they're having a sale and like five salesmen were standing around outside, one of whom started walking towards my car before I could even turn around to leave. As I'm driving past he says, "You can't buy a car that fast!" So I stop and start talking to him. I told him I was there for the 4c, but I knew they wouldn't let me drive one. He told me I could lease one. Then asked about the FR-S, thought it was AWD. I corrected him and gave it some gas when he asked. Then he wanted a burnout, but auto. So, did as I was told, traction off, brakes held, gave it gas. But the auto limits it to 2000, so that was kind of embarrassing.

What moves? The auto literally has a buzzkill setting. Unless there's another way to do a burnout with the auto, I think I'm screwed on that front.

I had a choice of 0% ('13) or 1.9% ('14). Sadly, '13 only had silver, which I didn't want, so I went w '14

I don't know, never tried it. From what I've read it puts it in diagnostic mode, which eliminates the nannies, but I don't know if that means the RPM limit.

Tip on this. Just as the engine approaches 2.5k, ease off the brake pedal and the rear wheels should break free. Hold the brake just enough to make the car stationary.

Wouldn't that only work against you if you have a loan based on that instead of a "regular" loan (and you aren't paying the extra interest on the 78s loan for the first few months)?

Oh, sorry! It is the rule of 78s! I was thinking about playing the piano.
