Gotta love when people on the forum come out of the woodwork to shove words down your throat (or fingers in this case).

Failed seal leading to a water leak is the most common failure.
The 8 chassis without a cage is better than the FD but like the twin it screams for more power.

There is/are a current/recent BMW bike (I lost interest in bikes a long time ago) that pulls 100 mph in first gear. It's an impressive stat.

Does it count if first gear is the only gear? I'm pretty sure this only has a single reduction ratio.

In SCCA T4, where the twins race, the RX8 is also quite competitive. They have a double wishbone front end which is really nice. I imagine the RX8 chassis is a better swap candidate then the twins.

i save a backup of my contacts to my computer. i haven't lost the entire list ever. but plenty of damaged phones lose a few here and there.
It came with a cord to connect your old and new phones, but it didn't have the correct plug for the S4. Now, since I activated the new one, the S4 just goes thru it's boot-up then shuts off. I had a chip in the S4 that I thought had the contacts in it, but when I put it in the new one I only got my photos.

I've been told the S4 might be too old to do a lot of those things. S4 came out in 2013. I got my new phone on the Verizon site, and delivered. Next step I guess is taking both to a Verizon store and seeing if they can help.

Thoughts on installing a roof rack and cargo box on the BRZ? No? Yes? Just get a Uhaul?

Sure, that's great but I'm thinking that bike wouldn't corner so well. Also, that bike wouldn't pass relevant legislation here because, according to that article, it only broke the wheel-driven land speed record in MPH.
