This is interesting. I had a 1988 fox body Mustang GT years ago and noticed back then that whenever I got the oil changed, the fuel economy would go down noticeably. I assume it was burning some oil between changes and always wondered about that.

Sorry!

Lol! Imagine how I felt with my wife driving my kids around in a Mazda5. Anyway, misery wants company.

Ikaiyoo, in the US as well? I don’t remember that.

I believe the E30 was still available in 1992, but only as a cabrio.

I remember once reading that the front of this generation of Mazda3 (and other Mazdas) looks like it’s smiling, but in a “I’m going to rape you when you fall asleep” kind of way. I haven’t been able to look at these Mazdas without seeing that since. Pretty dark, I know.

I always loved the style of these, even if the style looked like it would work better on a slightly larger car.

...wasn’t fully up to the task of competing with Allanté’s primary target, the Mercedes SL.

I have an unnatural love for the Saturn L-series cars, especially wagons. I don’t need a wagon but I like them.

...the system will be required to at least begin applying the brakes from speeds up to 90 miles per hour.

Just take the excuse for being late for work? No, that’s not the answer either.

It says a hour to install, but the charger (even Level 2) will use far more power than a typical street lamp, which at most may be 150W on a typical street if it’s an old one. So the street lighting circuit probably doesn’t have the capacity for many chargers at all. I was thinking maybe these slowly stored power in…

Chevrolet used it the exact wrong way.

My first 6-speed was my Focus ST. Shifting into 6th wasn’t nearly as weird as I thought it would be. The bigger thing to get used to was downshifting into 5th. That didn’t feel normal for a long time.

I always remember this commercial from when this thing came out. I remember it being better but still an interesting concept.

I admittedly send you a lot of these but, nope this wasn’t me! I sent this one.

A Focus with TWO 2.0L ENGINES? That sounds killer! Def worth $20k then.

Controversial take, I like the Malibu design now and I really didn’t when it first came out and I thought (rightly) that it was just aping the VW CC. I’m surprised to feel that way when I see them.

Welcome back, Rob!

I hate time so much.
