Yeah, I have to pull the intake manifold and throttle body to change the plugs in the rear bank on my Mazda 6. Takes some time, but it’s actually not that bad. Now replacing the valve cover gaskets... that’s another story. What a pain. It’s totally worth paying the shop $400 to do it. Took me like 10 hours total to…

I paid $5k for my car from a private party. My warranty is a Chilton repair manual. ;)

Now tell me what you want, what you really really want.

My buddy has an FR-S. It feels plenty fast to me. Fast enough to get into some serious trouble. It’s a super-fun, nimble little car. It’s perfect just the way it is.

But hey, those door handles are kinda cool.

OMG. I need eye bleach after seeing that hatch.

Okay, yeah, both the F-22 and even the F-35 are gorgeous airplanes. Just stunning to gaze upon. I mean the F-22 just might be the most beautiful flying thing ever made. Besides the Spitfire and the Bugatti plane, of course.

OMG I’m stunned by how much infrastructure could’ve been fixed/built with the billions spent on this thing.

Actually, fuck it. Just ride bicycles.

To clarify, I’ve spent years working on my own cars and other people’s cars (worked in shop for a few years). I know how ICEs work. Intimately. They’re crazy complicated. Far too many moving parts, seals, caustic chemicals, etc. I know because I’ve fixed and replaced too much of it all. Accidentally swallowed too much…

In most cases bushings are such a PITA that it’s easier to just replace the entire suspension part (upper or lower control arm, etc.). And it’s faster. Much faster.

Please don’t save internal combustion. Have you seen how many goddamned parts internal combustion engines and all their associated systems have? Bad idea. Very bad idea. The sooner the ICE goes away, the better.

Yesterday I was thinking, “Maybe I should just go get a 2015 GTI like I really want...” Mainly because it’d be a new car with no problems. But this proves that all cars have issues (even if they’re minor). And I’m beginning to hate them. I’ll just walk.

The Jaguar V12-equipped Corvair. The Jaguair.

Oh shi... are we gonna start the DAF vs. FAF thing again? Please?

I have no class, which is why I drive Mazdas.

Stop hating everybody! It’s so ugly it’s fucking cool. And Brown.

Yeah, but it needed waaaay more chrome on the grill.

It was a brown wagon. I’ll pour one out for it.
