Nah, that sound was just Mazda’s way of saying “the fun has arrived!”

Hahaha, it’s actually just a satirical site. They also “sell” muffler bearings and blinker fluid, along with some other hilarious fake items.

No there wasn’t, the glass cause the cars interior to heat. It has nothing to do with paint. I have a white car and champagneuh colored car and the trunks are cooler consistently on the hottest days. CARB figured that out so they decided to put flakes of metal in the glass to reflect/block sunlight. It fell out of…

That is quite a ridiculous/absolutely hilarious thing, where would you even put those??? It pains me that someone has actually used those, basically strapped titanium to the side of a bike, and probably told his friends he’s got three extra powerbands. hahahaha

Yeah, but at least there’s some science behind that idea.

How about, you can’t mix two different BRANDS of oil (even if they’re the same viscosity) or the engine will blow up? That one left me speechless.

That probably was true, at a GM pant in the 80's. Then Toyota came in a fixed that shit.

That sounds like CARB wanting to ban black and metallic paints because you would use the AC less which would get you better MPG.

I have always enjoyed the maintenance stuff that people come up with

Well, as far as I know, my old GSL-SE had no rev limiter on it - there was just a horn in the dashboard that went off.

For sure! Nothing against SIs, the ‘07s were especially tremendous platforms. But if you slap on an ebay turbo and push 320hp to the wheels your “honda reliability” card goes out the window.

May be true in practice with the many poorly installed ricer setups out there, but this isn’t THAT far from the truth in some cases. Well maintained Civics are pretty bullet proof, and a properly tuned low boost setup shouldn’t result in too many additional issues. Certain AMGs are total nightmares with electrical…

That was sort of true, at least in Mexico in the 80's.
But the offending cars were made on friday because workers didn’t really paid much attention to what they were doing.

You can actually buy adjustable power bands from this site: http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main…

Clowns in boosted SIs claiming their cars are more reliable than a normally aspirated AMG, M3, 911, etc...

Some years back, an environmental group made a pronouncement that during the colder months, you should apply wax to your car’s paint and just leave it there, instead of buffing it off.

The Wankle has no actual redline. It can literally spin as fast as you tell it to. That was just put in there to limit power.

Not cars but motorcycles / four wheelers. A guy that came in the shop was bragging about how fast his Yamaha Banshee motor was(2 stroke) because he sent out to Arizona and had the shop put an “extra power band” on each gear. He couldn’t fathom that a power band wasn’t a part of the engine even after I had one of our…

if it was British Leyland maybe..

A dealership salesman once tried to tell my mother, the daughter of a long-time dealership service and parts rep, that cars made on Tuesdays are more reliable than any other day of the week because non-union workers work on Tuesdays.
