The answer to this question is clearly yes. I say this because Volkswagen has spent the last decade or two building unreliable, mediocre, poorly constructed automobiles, and people keep buying them.

This is why Mazda, not just Miata, is the answer to everything (maybe not, but still). Their naming convention is likely one of the easier conventions to understand. Say ‘3’ or ‘6’ to anyone who even slightly knows a Mazda product and they’ll likely know what your’re talking about, simply because the numbers clearly…

So that was your left-rear that went too?! Thankfully, the only real issue that occurred out of that mess was that my rear alignment was way off, besides the torn tire. Left that nightmare with way more of a car than I could have.

What, no way. Had the EXACT SAME THING happen to me on I-95 Southbound coming home from the Philly Navy Yard one weeknight last year. I have a Mazda 3 that had gotten new tires a week before, and noticed something was off with the driver’s rear wheel when getting to speed on the highway, knew it wasn’t good from the…

Wait...huh? Not that I’d mind marrying a MS3...

This. It’ll be so difficult/annoying/painful to remove that it WILL become a permanent part of your car.

Dude...really sorry to break it to ya like this...your wife is a spy...only logical explanation.

It’s sad people like you that end up being a part of the reason that the U.S. (let alone the world) is in the state it is; too many people telling otherwise knowledgeable and able-bodied individuals to ‘have someone else do that for you, let it be someone else’s problem to fix’.

Now THAT...is rolling (rolled?) coal...

+1 for brand loyalty

No kidding; I work with a dude near me (I’m IT, he’s Accounts Payable) who I’ve seen drive a Acura TL (no SH-AWD), base model and with the lowest feature set you can get. The other day I see him “tear into” the lot with a 528i like he was King Shit; started laughing when I found out the model, to realize yet again he…

This is why I went and cross-shopped different vehicles with PBS (Push-Button Start) before I decided on my Mazda 3; I tested to see what would happen because I never owned a car that had that tech before. In Mazda’s case, the keyfob causes the car to make a lot of noise if either the occupant with the key leaves the…

I speculate thusly: Time-space could not factor the number of ‘4s’ occurring at the single location, and shit just done got fucked up. 4Runner. RAV4. 4 way intersection.

They’re called ‘fish flies’ due to the fact that they spend their larval/pupal life in the water, hatch into a nymph, and then ‘emerge’ at the water’s meniscus. Because of these stages and their location of occurrence, they are a main source of food for local fish. The entire idea of fly fishing (which I do) revolves…

Andrew,

My brand new car with ~10 miles on it was T-boned in a parking lot by an asshat DRIVING THROUGH THE SPACES, while I was waiting for a Porsche to back out. I had the car for all of a week.

Holy fucking late-model Civic Batman!

Very true.

Not sure...but guess who’s doing it better!?

I sense a trunk decklid lock recall forthcoming NHTSA. NHTSA...??
