200k trouble free miles on my 2000. I think the problem was exaggerated. I still many 2000-2001s on the road around here in San Jose. 

Nope. Nice and cold in Deutschland. 

Augustiener may open the cellar garden. I imagine it would be cool down there. 

I dunno. I prefer my ice cream trucks rattling along and leaking oil in the bike lane with a huge cloud of smoke trailing while playing a looped tape of “What child is this (ice cream truck version)“ that’s so worn out it’s mostly garbled nonsense and static.

I blame infotainment systems for some of this.

News flash! Game that came out in 97 still looks like garbage with upgraded textures and ray tracing.

Or San Jose/San Francisco...tho in SF it's really more poo you have to worry about flying at you. 

Everybody is broke and cars cost to damn much. Seriously, this isn't hard. 

Ok, time to fess up here David.

It’s my fav. There’s an IROC parked down the street from my mother’s house that’s s super clean and makes me drool everytime I go past.

2 words. Small kid.

I recently bought an electric version of one of these. You hook it to your battery terminals and it will pump out 6 quarts of oil in about 5 minutes or so. It doesn’t have a reservoir so I just pump it into my old drain pan.

4th gear. They collaborate on safety features pretty regularly.

Yep those were cool. The MX6 and the Probe shared the same drive train I believe. Did they share more than that? 

My first car was a 1990 Probe GT with a 5 speed and Mazda 2.2 turbo. I bought it in 1998 right after I graduated highschool. That car was tons of fun and could keep up with most anything of a similar year. I still find myself missing it from time to time and it’s been out of my life for 17 years now.

I was an IBEW member for 5 years. Talk about a corrupt good ol boys scam. They bargained for the older members about to retire and didn’t really seem to give a crap about us young guys. We had no sick leave and no vacation. They were sacrificed at the bargaining table so pensions could be padded. We were told we can…

I’ve restored a few motorcycles that had sat for decades. One of the most satisfying things is watching those rusty old rotors start to shine again little by little as the new pads start to bed in. 

Exactly this. My Grand Cherokee has a ring of rust there and there isn’t much I can do about it.

And definitely not 2 adults horizontally. 

I voted NP but it’s a bit on the high end. The wheels and new tires help a bit. And daym... That interior.
