Thank god. The current truck’s chrome grille looks like it has brace face that would leave someone scarred for life if it were on a teen

I've been told that's a good strategy by several people. None of them are cops or lawyers though, they've just been told to do that by a cop or lawyer.

A friend was driving me and some other drunk folk home from a night downtown on my birthday. He’s a big guy and had one drink at the beginning of the night. Several hours later he drives us home and we get pulled over for supposedly going over the line on a left turn. He “fails” the field sobriety test because they…

Can't outrun the radio though

Meh. I've seen worse.

I've never had an issue with the 3 on hills. It'll go into a lower gear slowing down on a big hill and it can be weird if you're not used to the trans slowing the car down

I always get above EPA ratings. I frequently get 2-4 mpg better on the highway and almost 14 mpg better if I really try. So does that mean Mazda is undercutting themselves?

That was my first thought.

It doesn't stutter at low speeds like ford. When you have it in manual mode it shifts when you tell it to and not after thinking about…

“Quick! Get in! I have an erection!”

HA! 155 hp, manual, hatchback

In defense of the 3 the auto is very good in those cars

I have the same car. Mines a manual and not diesel

I didn't know that. Thanks.

Chows can be scary. I grew up with 2 chow mixes. They were great dogs for us but I know many people who have had bad experiences with them. They tend to attach to one person and are territorial.

I agree with you except for the pit bulls. The last report I saw of dog attacks showed the top 3 being Chows, German Shepards, and Golden Retrievers. Pits get a bad name because of the owners typically. The news and other media don't help the situation. A good example is the news was reporting a pit bull attacking a…
