      Believe it or not, UA-camrs do affect certain markets. When HeavyMetalJesus recommends a retro game, it automatically goes up in price and is harder to find. When a UA-camr advertises a product or does a review, that product does sell because of the advertisement. UA-camrs are the new Hollywood and reach waaay more people than television media.

I feel honored that you are reviewing the same exact car I have (same color too) except mine is AWD. I plan on running it till the wheels fall off! Love my car so much my wife loves it too.

      I was going to mention this as well. Costly over the life of a vehicle. But it doesn't matter whether its a belt or a chain. Belts wear, chains stretch, they can both snap. The important thing is what happens when it does break. If the engine is an interference engine it will mess up all the valves and timing and wreck the motor. (VW, Mitsu, Acura, Honda, and plenty more companies do this) The alternative is a free running engine which allows the belt or chain to break but not interfere with the engine. What I don't know is what the technical gain is for either configuration. There must be a reason why companies choose to do this one way or another.

    I think the reason for the weird location of the battery in the Porsche is to lower the vehicle's center of gravity and thus reduce its tendency to roll under hard cornering. Locating the battery behind the firewall will also lower the vehicle's polar moment of inertia and consequently increase the steering responsiveness. Every car is made with compromises between performance, comfort and convenience.

  • @Luke_MoonWalker

    Hey Scotty! On your advice I bought a 2006 Lexus GS 300 about 4 months ago. Probably over payed a little bit(live in CA), but I'm glad I went with a Lexus. Runs great and ALL the electronics on it still work. I was amazed by that. The only major issue it has, that I have noticed so far, is that the 3rd Gen GS's are notorious for having a bad TCU module in the ECU. This causes the transmission to shift hard some times. Mine gets stuck shifting from 4th to 5th on occasion. On the plus side, there is tons of electronics repair companies that will fix it for $100-$200 bucks. So if I can pay that and keep the car running great for another 10 years. I'm not complaining at all.
