They do look very hot hatch-adjacent when lowered. I would certainly do it to mine too, if I were affluent enough to be able to afford one.

Yep, have been using a low profile jack of theirs for seven years now.  Everyone in my old club had them as well.

Love our Frame. We have a 49" in our family room upstairs that is open concept with our kitchen and dining room, so we wanted something to blend. It was overpriced even at a steep discount, I won’t lie, but we’ve had multiple people come over and be surprised when we flipped it to TV mode, or heard the TV earlier and…

I can’t find anything about “zoom zoom” and Isuzu. Post up a link if you do, I’m interested to see!  I clearly remember the early 2000's Mazda commercials, but nothing to do with Isuzu.

Steering wheel lock just needs a fuse pulled. CSC can be avoided/delayed with higher temp fluid. Stock oil cooling isn’t an issue for street driving and if you’re tracking, an oil cooler is your first mod anyway.

Every car has failure points. The platform is almost 20 years old, the VQ is bulletproof, and consumables…

As someone who has lived and breathed VQ tuning and Z33/Z34 modification for 10+ years, I’m not just calling BS, I’m willing to put my home up as a wager that your son is full of it.

If you think that a used F-type is “cheap”, then you probably consider a used 370 to be “free”.

Either way, there is no way you can compare the ownership cost between those two. Apples to dragonfruit.

Oh gosh, one of my “someday” cars. Those things are beautiful. But, I’d want the -S in French Racing Blue.

Erm, is this serious?  Because the 350/370 are dead reliable. 

Do it, Andrew. My 350 is modded up to be about on par with a base 370, and it is the perfect amount of performance you need for daily driving and track use. 300 horses, great road feel, 3200 lbs, excellent brakes and suspension, easy and cheap to work on, no electric nannies.  And inexpensive. 

I’m comparing it to... the direct competition of the same vintage. The fact that there were so few fun midsize sedans in the 25k price range is not the Mazda 6's fault. It’s an objectively more fun car to drive than the others I was considering, all for their own reasons.  Fun won out.

Unless you wanted me to compare…

Are you... are you sure about that?

Interesting, I absolutely love driving my ‘14 6 Touring.  In auto.  Similarly aged Sonatas, Malibus, and Fusions felt numb in comparison when I was deciding.

I admittedly haven’t driven anything recent, but my 2006, 2008, and 2014 Mazdas are all zoom zoom fun, relative to their size and function. It’s hard to describe. They don’t need a snail or fancy suspension or sport division badges. They just feel... joyful to drive.  I’ve not had the same fun behind the wheel of…

On my third (used) Mazda and will likely continue to purchase them. They’re great enthusiast DDs.  Hopefully Mazda doesn’t succumb to this and can keep putting out interesting cars.

What an insane coincidence... this is literally on a FedEx truck en route to my house as I type:

Good news for me.  I need a new family hauler in the next year or two.  Give me that cheap cheap minivan/SUV.

If you’re paying anywhere close to a grand a year for a decade old Camry, you must either be very young, have a lot of tickets, or live somewhere with ridiculous premiums. I paid nearly exactly one grand a year for insuring three vehicles in 2019 - a 2006 Mazda6, a 2008 Mazda CX-9, and a 2006 Nissan 350z. There is no…

I think you are forgetting about a little thing called used cars. They, just like newer cars, can get you places. Also they cost about nothing to own other than cheap insurance and fluids, along with the occasional brake job. I guarantee you that a 10 year old Camry is cheaper than Ubering even if all you do is one…

Was just going to post this. There is no world in which I’d rather drive a 2020 V6 Camaro over a 987 Cayman S. Or even a base Cayman, probably. I have a tuned and modded 350Z and a used Cayman S has always been my aspirational next track toy. Even the highest trim Camaros would still feel like a tank in comparison.
