Sounds good, I’ll check that out.

Hopefully, they concluded her holiday pies came out evenly baked this year.

It’s the new Mazda5!

Meanwhile, there’s a guy making badass late-model-underpinning-with-old-body conversions by himself, in his garage. Almost all OEM parts and everything works (except for airbags), and he manages to make even the modern instrument clusters look factory inside the original ‘66 opening. Does the electrical integration…

Right.  Hate on the stupid matte paint and ugly wheels all you want, but why take issue with someone who’s driven the thing and could tell it’s something special?

You make it sound like “super fancy CX-5" inside isn’t a good thing.

I hope none of you people whining about Bullitt being boring liked Drive. What an incredibly boring POS.

Or inbreeding.

But that’s the point! So much fiddly little shit will break that you’ll learn loads.

I’m assuming he was speaking in general terms.

Domineering males?

Download this ASAP:

Or go to a campground with electrical hookups.

Oh FFS. Be careful and keep your wits about you and it could do the trick. I didn’t say “jerk wheel over to get in front of semi and slam on brakes.”

If you’re slowly decreasing your speed but the semi isn’t and you don’t react by speeding back up, perhaps you shouldn’t be driving.

Get in front of the semi, flashers on, waving frantically, slowing down at a gradual pace. I’d wager someone else would help block a second lane, assuming they’re not filming as well. Better than DOING FUCKING NOTHING!

It’s definitely good to find a calm and patient teacher for this. My dad? Awful. My wife’s former boss? Amazing. Taught me in his Saturn Ion, then we swapped cars for a couple of weeks so I could actually learn, rather than just trying it for five minutes one time. It worked well.

And the lack of environmental regulations. 

Agreed, it’s cool. I expected commenters to shit on this as they have other oddball creations, so at least I wasn’t disappointed. It’s fun, it’s wild, just go with it. FWIW I think it looks more normal than many Toyotas and Lexii, and some of the newer Kias.

Hell yeah! Did I take my wife on our first real date in my 2-yo Altima? Fuck no, we went to the county fair in my rusty ‘85 Caprice.
