Oh man Legacy GT... very nice taste.

Good read, thank you for this.

Get out of the grays! And that’s a world I would like to live in. Instead I spend my time shaking my fist and cussing at “slow, economical” cars.

Thank you. You have to give something if you take something away. Opting to not develop the next RX or any Speed series cars really just spurned me for Mazda. It’s like someone came in and said, OK guys, Fun Police, nobody move.

Agreed on the first paragraph, in the short term. In the long run who knows how big they could have grown if they only decided to cultivate their low volume car group. The RX’s have a cult following, the Mazdaspeeds get snatched up quickly as well. To sit there and just focus on one part of the timeline doesn’t make…

No, not immediately, but over time it would have made growth. To sit there and say that Mazda is where it is without the aid of the RX series and Mazdaspeeds is a bit shortsighted.

Yes exactly. People love the Mazdaspeed’s and although so many people disagree, there is a cult following for the RX’s. Cultivate it. Then watch it grow. Don’t sit there and say oh we want to move beyond building kid cars that go fast. That was part of their charm!!!! Zoom Zoom Mofo!

Holy hell is this a part Mitsu Lancer story without Kristen? Does she know? Oh man watch out Stef, I’m sure she’s stroking a 1:24 diecast model of a Lancer and plotting her revenge while laughing maniacally.

2nd Gear: You know what would have made up your 56% loss on profits?

I’m not going to lie, I saw COTD with a Focus and thought surely $kay will have a hard time finding a pic... nope. So wrong, I was so very wrong.

As soon as I read this I imagined some sort of Batmanesque utility belt with a hand sanitizer dispenser and some sort of blood clean up kit so no one could possibly clone him... but that’s not real... or is it?

Holy hell why wasn’t this video around when I learned to drive stick, instead of my Dad yelling at me to stop killing the car. (86 Maxima... it was as old as me.)

Oh come on! If Breaking Bad taught us anything it’s to start a local chain like Pollos Hermanos and start smuggling your drugs in fried chicken batter.

Oh man! You mean to tell me that I can road trip this thing and not have awkward moments where I’m frantically trying to find a gas station to pee? Now gas stations are only needed for fuel and snacks/drinks?

Haha, womp womp.

Ugh, I want to ignore but can’t. It’s like Jersey Shore, or a train wreck, you can’t look away even though you know it’s bad.

Haha, I hear ya. I’m just pointing out the flaws in the design department. I understand that they wanted lightweight, roomy-ish?, and for it to stand out. It’s just not for me. Why not swing for the fences on design of something that you really want people to buy? It’s beyond me that there were so many early and still…

Should have made the cars look more attractive... but then I’m beating a dead horse. The Tesla’s look good, Bolt’s are garbage, and Leaf Owners are no one that you need in your life.

See, whenever I try to talk about my dream about taking all my money and building a racetrack around my house I’m suddenly the crazy one.

That had the potential to be bad, but seeing that video and then watching the gifs for recommended stories.... meh it wasn’t that, that bad.
