The coldest my old 1992 Prelude ever saw was -14 F in Bend, Oregon. It started like a champ, but the clutch pedal was stuck down until the engine warmed up the fluid enough. Unfortunately it had no ambient temp display, but the JVC head unit I had would just display COLD until about 32 F when it would start…

I lol'ed at "MI PIROT SPORT PS II" on the Lexus, even the captions have an asian accent!

Same disappointing wheel on the Solstice/Sky, and I have seen them on the HHR as well. It's an OK looking wheel but the leather on it feels so cheap...

The best sex you ever had was uncomfortable, noisy, twitchy, jarringly rough, involved fluid leaks, was slow to get up to speed, and an overall disappointing experience?

That's awesome, I have a Black Mica 2008.5 GT. I haven't done much to it yet other than RMM, JBR knob, and shifter bushings. I had the short shift adapter but I found I like the feel of the stock shift length better. Sounds like you have already discovered mazdaspeedforums.org. I will let you know if I have a need for…

Still a Ford. Correct.

Mine was a fix-it ticket for $25 and I have to have an officer sign off that I fixed it and submit that with my payment. I wonder if it changes based on county...

I foresee major facial reconstruction after an accident. I'll stick to my motorcycle and wear my gear, thanks.

My gf said this a few weeks ago when we took our first jumps. The instructor's reply was: "Have you seen our plane? It's a piece of shit." I laughed, she didn't, and once on the plane we realized the instructor was right.

Roadkill for sure, but why the hate for Ignition? I have watched a couple Dirt Everyday and Head 2 Head and they were pretty good so I may have to check out some more.

+1 from a fellow Speed3 owner

Thanks for the info, I just realized that while watching the video, DOH!

This is the last place I want to go if the engine is on fire. Oh no the engine is on fire! Let me just pop the hatch and reach into the flames to grab my fire extinguisher...

I forget which show I saw this information on, but my understanding is that when a car is painted they don't take the time to align the carbon weave perfectly as evidenced by this quote by Car and Driver:

I agree completely, I have a 2008 Mazda 3 and the auto wipers work amazingly well. There is a dial on the right stalk for some degree of adjustment as well. First car with auto wipers, headlights, and climate control and I have to say it has spoiled me.

I agree completely, but would like to point out that hardly any cars come from any one country anymore. Sure they may be assembled in one country but the parts for most cars come from a variety of countries, typically Mexico, Japan, Germany, etc... Additionally your "American" car could well have been assembled in…

Yeah it gets pretty nasty, if you get the chance drive it in good weather for some of the most amazing views California has to offer. Just be prepared to be stuck behind an RV most of the time...

You got lucky, I think I have had one relatively traffic free drive on that road early in the morning. The other half-dozen times driving that road has been a nightmare and even if you pass one car there is still a string of 20 more ahead of you. Basically on days when the weather is foggy and you can't see any of the…

I nominate Hwy 1 along the California coast from Cambria to Monterey. Sure it is beautiful, twisty, dramatic, and awe inspiring. You will also spent 3 hours stuck behind an RV, dodging cyclists in the roadway, with your foot hovering over the brake pedal waiting for the moron in front of you to slam on the brakes in…
