No kidding. That was the funniest shit I read all day.

I know I’m late, but what the hell, why not:

That would be the CX-9, CX-7 has been out of production for a few years now.

As far as the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality, we’ve been told that they may be only a software update away from being available, meaning that even early adopters of the revised CX-5 (and other Mazdas, for that matter) may be able to upgrade later. Unconfirmed, of course, but given that the screen and…

That’s the Sean Connery-est thing I’ve read today!

But why wouldn’t you just get this? Same size, same pricing, much better to drive in every possible way, plus you have a nicer interior and better looks?

Probably the most mechanically reliable ‘32 Ford with that motor, lol.

Hey, my uncle made a’32 Ford hotrod too! He put a 1UZ-FE Lexus V8 in it, it had a stick shift in between your legs, and he let me drive it when I was 16 years old. Probably not his smartest moment, I agree.

actually an entree of weenie followed by a dessert of twinkie would be okay, now that i think about it

now i’m hungry. not for a twinkie weenie sandwich, mind you, but hungry nonetheless

My only question: will the Rapide AMR baby?

That’s probably unrealistic, since the M3GT with the NA 2.5L starts in the $25k range, so to add the 2.5T would most likely add more than $3k to the price. Under $30k is very realistic, however, and then you’d have an amazing chassis, gorgeous body and interior, and 310 lb-ft of torque. Yummy!

Well thank you! I don’t post a ton, but I do work for Mazda, so occasionally I’ll mention a tidbit or two. Nothing confidential - sorry, I don’t even really have access to anything like that. But I try to be reasonable from time to time.

I don’t know why but I’ve been cracking up at “Gotdamn Aerospace Engineers” for 15 minutes straight. Thanks, Kurtis, for making my whole day.

I know I’m really late to this conversation, but I spotted a 1976 Lancia Scorpion at Starved Rock State Park in extremely rural Illinois - I’ve never seen one in person before or since! 

Okay, and I know there’s differences in terms of creature comforts and whatnot, but a $63k Camaro would beat the ever-loving shit out of a $63k 5-series in any performance metric you care to name. I’m not even a huge muscle car/American car guy but this ZL1 is amazing.

Usually the first wipe is back to front to get the majority of the shit off, then fold paper in half and go front to back to get the remainder. The second set of TP is a just in case and usually doesn’t have any shit on it at all.

Also I think I somehow missed the standing versus sitting to wipe debate. Who the fuck stands up? Smearing shit on your ass and whatnot? What the fuck is that even about? Reach between your legs and wipe. I can’t even - is this a prank? Do people really stand and wipe? Jesus, man, this is why Trump won.

First swipe not that dirty. Why waste the paper? I’ve never gotten shit on my fingers or ever really come close. I wouldn’t use 39 sheets like big Drew up there in a week of shitting, which happens once daily.

How much shit is dangling from your ass when you wipe? My very first, and therefore dirtiest, wipe is usually a small streak down the center and that’s it.
