I failed my driver’s license test the first time...

And this is the “excuse” I’ve given to officers who have asked for consent to a search. I say no way...they ask well why not if you don’t have anything to hide. I respond: Because you’ll tear my car apart on the side of the road, find nothing and then leave me to reassemble my car on the side of the highway.

Also, NEVER CONSENT TO A SEARCH. No matter how sure you are there isn’t anything in the car...if they have probable cause, they won’t ask. So if they do ask...NEVER CONSENT. I have a good story about that, but it can’t be told in a public forum like this.

Had a similar incident as well. I was not riding close enough to the curb for the officer. I tried to politely explain that I was trying to prevent my tires from shooting the rocks/road debris next to the curb into traffic - as I’m sure you know, 105 psi tires are great at this.

The 1994 Mazda MX-3 was equipped with a special button on the rear upper edge of the door card that simply said “TOUCH.” Guess what it did?

When the glow plug relay dies in your 80's Merc diesel, if you’re in a jam or rather than replacing the part, you can take a low gauge cable to run from the positive battery terminal to the tip of the glow plugs. Do the first 3 each for about 10 to 15 seconds (good luck reaching the back one) then run back to the…

And I’m really hoping they continue with the Dark Tower series....he is AMAZING as the Gunslinger. Which also caused a rukus among the snowflakes...

ACTUALLY - The MZR is a Mazda designed engine that is licensed to Ford. The ones found in Fords are branded as Duratec (only the 4 cylinder Duratecs are the Mazda design found in flavors from 1.8L to 2.5L). Many parts on there will have FoMoCo stamped on them. It was a way for Mazda to do some cost sharing since…

Had the same thought. Looked it up and an LSD was a dealer installed option for this car.

No LSD from factory? Check out that single wheel burnout... WTF that should be standard on a car with that much HP.

Heh hey. You’re only allowed to refer to Elizabeth as E-town in NJ
