No, it’s a “normal” road with one lane in each direction (no left turn lane), but takes a lot of traffic for being as small as it is. You wouldn’t expect it if you were shopping for a house from out of town.

Yep! Try being a new parent with a toddler finally asleep in the back seat when a Harley revs so loud that I want to fight him! (Even though I’m quite the pacifist.) Noise is a physical assault, people!

Aston did it better: (Then again, it WAS the original “shooting brake”.)

The original was an Aston Martin DB5 made for the head of Aston Martin for his hunting dogs to ride more conveniently in his car. It’s essentially a two door station wagon.

They added that when the feds required a car to survive being dropped on its roof from a certain height in response to too many SUV rollovers. I suspect this requirement also killed the Mazda 5.

My brother offered me a Corona, and I told him how I wasn’t too fond of it, thinking it’s too bland. He handed me a bag of Doritos, and told me to eat one and take a swig. I was astonished by how the flavor of the Corona was transformed!

As noted above, many beers are optimized to the local food. In this case, “local” might refer to the entirety of Italy.

Our sales rep gave us that impression, but then my wife steered us to the automatic due to a foot injury and lack of manual trans driving experience. Sometime later I’ll waste my time confirming that you’re correct. I sure wish I has that 6 speed manual, though. 

The last Mazda 5 models did offer the 6 speed manual on all three trim levels.

Sorry. I’ve been Kinja’d. That comment belongs in a completely different conversation. Damnit!

Or maybe airbag deployments are resulting in a lot of older cars being “totaled” by the insurance companies. I wonder what the stats are on that?

Negligent homicide is never pretty.

“Let me show you my Enzo Ferrari in my garage!”

You already know that my opinion doesn’t matter. I’m just pointing out that we have a weird array of designs going on right now. You seem to be past flat, rounded car designs and that’s fine.

I’d have compared it to a Lambo or a current MacLaren, but they are so hard to look at that I’ve stopped following most supercars.

Are you also one of those who hate the new Civic because it has unused vents and angles on it? I find it refreshing to have something stop pretending to be fancy based on the number of angles on it.

Whenever I claimed I was “old”, my daughter would tell me I’m not old. I turned 50 recently, and my daughter (12) told me she will stop correcting me.

How the heck are you supposed to get a body into the back of that thing? From a commercial loading dock???

I’m not much of a supercar guy, but that’s one, super car! Even I could aspire to be greedy and cutthroat to aspire to one of those. Probably too late for me, though.
