That's probably true of lots of things.

'06, 40K km, original plugs, never flooded.

Always mindful of making sure the engine is warm before shutting off though.

05 had it 7 months but it was in the shop for a whole month. Never flooded. Multiple start and shut offs in sub 20 winter. But I have LS2 coils and 4K on my plugs. Don't know what kind of starter though and I don't care. Never have problems starting it.

Bumped into a kid with an 04 auto who puts it in park and revs it to 3k before turning the key to "prevent flooding" thought it was stupid.

2005 (bought in 2007 with 13K miles, 2d owner), just rolled over 30K miles, never flooded!

Would like to say zero issues but:
Got both tail lights replaced fo free due to condensation.

-'07 vr GT
-24k
-valvoline oils, every pre-3k miles
-occasional high rpm spurts, few spirited drives, otherwise slow shifted normal commutes
-never "revved" during shut-down when moved cold(rare occasion to begin with), or 10sec throttle hold
-still on oem plug coils
-light premix since first mile owned
-oil always brought up to full or kept in-between the next notch, never overfilled.

had other problems...like interior, 1 cooling fan, smart key... but never a flood =)
