Sadly, this happened to one of my parent's cars. That poor 626, it was in mint condition when it was stolen (hijacked from my mother, no less.) They only found the frame and attached power steering a couple hours later — everything else was taken.

Might I have detected a Wert-esque gleam in Tanner's eye there?

I don't think so — the mouthpiece doesn't look dirty enough.

C'mon, Mike. They worked hard to modify -um, create that car. Can't you let them toot their own horn a little?

An even better factoid — part of the reason that the rotary won wasn't just its reliability, but that it also had extremely good fuel economy! Amusing how the tables can be turned when you're under race conditions.

Scented? That's news to me. The pulsed air A/C does sound nifty, though.

Here's a fun one I discovered last week — the Cinderella Chariot used by Disney for promotions (which now resides in the Volo Auto Museum) is powered by a 500HP Shelby motor. It was quite a shock to see that beast when I peeked under it.

Good grief, the sound from that must be epic. I'm imagining Ares gargling chainsaws.

Heh, I've always thought of Mazda as a Madagascar of companies — home of small fascinating creations, much loved by isolated groups of enthusiasts, but constantly in danger of being wiped out by settlers with their roves of Camries and Accords. Only the concerted efforts of a dedicated few keep some of the species…

Near as I can tell, Mazda is one of the only companies to offer one of the best interior features to their production cars, oscillating A/C vents (our Mk2 626 had them, and I loved 'em.) As far as I know, only one or two Lexus LS models were also graced with this feature.

Golly, a Monza coupe! Lovely — this car is at the top of my classic dream list.

Good grief, I don't think I've ever seen as many overwrought descriptions in one review before. Are you sure the writer wasn't quietly taking the piss out of his own job?

From Dr. Z to you.

The micro-capsule drug delivery is definitely mainstream now — our husky was recently put on ProHeart medication for heartworms. Because it's delivered via slow-release capsules, we don't have to take her to vet more than twice a year, compared to the old monthly treatments.

Hey, I'm as big a fan of EDM as the next Jalop, but you don't see me screaming about it.

"Get me to work fast, or the boss is gonna chew me a new one!"

OK, here's a strange one, the Flettner 282 Kolibri (or Hummingbird.) Developed by zee Germans during WW2, it's an open-seat intermeshing-rotor helo, designed for naval reconnaissance. You had to be pretty ballsy to fly this, especially when launching of the deck of a heaving cruiser. They even had a special-project…
