Roosevelt Expressway, actually, between I-76 and the southern end of the Boulevard in Hunting Park.. The Vine Street Expressway is surrounded by buildings instead of trees as shown in the video.

The Schuylkill during rush hour ain’t bad — there’s barely any movement anyway. Just before or just after rush hour, OTOH, will certainly get your adrenaline pumping. There’s nothing like driving 75+ in between a tall jersey barrier and a rock wall and then suddenly coming to a complete stop after a blind turn.

Another reason why I prefer Norcal.

Jason, that’s definitely a Green Machine he was riding.

Mazda now need to get their shit together and bring the SkyActiv-D to the US, urea injection or not.

FWIW, Weather Underground says that temperatures in Danville, VA went up to 80°F on September 22nd, the date on the Facebook post. That should only get the radiator fan to spin a little bit more often.

Yes! I could spend all day listening to David’s crazy stories of junk car restoration attempts and Jason’s brilliant analyses of VW Beetle taillight evolution and regional differences.

And the same end-of-show credits list.

You need to print this in poster size and send it to WHYY. Maybe they’ll get you to start a new car talk show or something.

Mazda’s color leans more towards red, and they have quite a bit of history behind it -- granted, not exactly the same.

Is there a special holder for tampons?

You need a better job. Or become sneakier in your web browsing.

Is that a noun or an imperative verb?

It has an 8-valve SOHC head and less than ideal breathing, that’s why, but that 120 HP figure seems wrong — Wikipedia quotes 135 HP. It puts out plenty of torque to compensate, though. Mazda later made a NA DOHC version that produced up to 162 HP but less maximum torque (150 instead of 175 lb-ft).

Jebediah drove front-wheel drive before front-wheel drive became cool.

Powered by Chipotle.

Mazda did a fantastic job of supersizing every aspect their cars to suit the CX-9, save for one that’s far too important during a Texan summer: air conditioning. I found it weirdly lacking here, enough to be an issue I don’t normally find in new cars, let alone press testers.

This is a car built for dropping the kids off at the pool
