Not a Synchro and not a Westy - not a chance.

$4K off of my $21K 2012 Mazda5 because it was the dealer’s loss-leader. You won’t see me complaining...

Don’t blame me - I did my part.

Take that same 48hp engine and put it in a vehicle twice as heavy with the aerodynamics of small office building. 29 MPG city/29 MPG highway, probably because you had to drive it flat out everywhere at all times. The right pedal was not so much a throttle as an on/off switch. Your pickup was a speed demon in…

Which reminds me of a friend that was afraid of over-revving his Toyota pickup so he lugged the engine everywhere, doing turns in 3rd and other awful things. He probably caused more damage by doing that than he would have if he got it anywhere near redline.

1979. That is all.

Why so sad, little Fiesta? Your name literally means ‘Party’ after all...

This sounds much like my own story, although my last vehicle purchase was my first ever new car, albeit an inexpensive and highly discounted one. After years of VWs, BMWs, an MB and a Porsche, I jumped out of the world of the fancy and impressive cars and trying to keep up with the Joneses and bought a simple Mazda5…

I personally like the idea of the V-6 Mustang. More than acceptable performance with lower maintenance and better economy than the EB I4 (despite what the sticker says since most owners won’t stay out of the boost). Ford really hasn’t seen fit to make a semi-performance version of the V-6 model like Chevrolet has done…

Drumpfster fire...

Simple solution - drive a RHD in a LHD market. Put the passenger at risk in that frontal offset collision...

So, if I understand this situation, people complain about the possibility of having to press down repeatedly on a nice, low-effort hydraulic clutch in traffic so they instinctively buy an automatic, but think nothing of having to press down firmly on the brake to keep their automatic-equipped vehicle from driving away…

• There was also a four-door sedan, for a total of three variants. I always wanted a wagon version, but never got around to buying one, and I don’t think I’d want to buy a 30 year old cheap VW today.

You can blame my mom for ‘fuzzcrumpies’. It goes back decades and decades, and still cracks me up. You may not have ever heard the word before, but you know exactly what I’m talking about...

As I recall, my 486DX2/66 was the first computer I owned that needed a CPU fan. This was back in the days when 1 MB of RAM would set you back $45; and the other day I was bitching about how I can’t find another 16GB of memory for less than $75.

Never have I seen more cankles in one place...
