Current average cost of gas in my area: $3.60. Current mixed rating of RAM 5.7 V8, 14MPG. If you drive 15,000 miles per year you’re spending $3,857. Bump that to 16MPG with e-torque and you’re at $3,375; a savings of $482. So effectively, this $1450 option pays for itself in 3 years. If you keep the truck 5 years you…

This one is fresh on my mind as it happened last week....My daily commute consists of many miles of twisty canyon roads (I know, terrible). I was behind an ~05 Mustang GT, tastefully modified, lowered and such. He was actually a bit playful on the road, a trait which I can rarely predict by the type of vehicle. We…

somehow they will make it look even dumber

Man, I’m with you. I want a truck again and I keep considering the Ridgeline because it’s just so damn practical...but daaaamn is it ugly. I never thought any vehicle would make the OLD ridgeline look good, but this does.

I think it’s weird looking. Ugly....maybe? 

I’m all for hating Nazis. I respect what the protesters are doing. But this shit HAS to stay non-violent. And For fuck’s sake, why does ANTIFA have to look so teen-angsty? It just gives ammo to the racist assholes. Ya’ll should be out there protesting in your finest suits.

I wonder if these will hold value worth a damn. Objectively this has a better engine/trans combo than the current 3.5/6A in the taco, but the tacos are worth a billion dollars for ever.....

The tastiest reward for driving sow fast.

Walker was raised Mormon. His parents are Mormon. Of course they wouldn’t let a documentary fly that has any sort of controversy. /Problem Solved.

It’s also quite possible that since he was dating models, these girls acted a lot older than they were, possibly even lying about their age to him at first. We also don’t know with any certainty that he had sexual relationships with these girls while they were under 18. So while it’s certainly a bit on the creepier…

Whenever I read these boards, I hear about all these crazy rust issues in Mazdas. It’s funny because as a Californian, we can’t really find many negative attributes to Mazdas, they just seem fun and cheap.

It should really be quicker than that based on the power to weight ratio, especially with a torque number like that. At least in theory.

Too low and too late. We all clamored for this engine 4-5 years ago. Delay after delay...then dieselgate...then more delays. Now 1MPG better combined and same hwy? This won’t be good for Mazda at all.

A lot of newer cars I’ve owned have had this problem, but it’s always seemed to disappear if one of both front windows are slightly opened. Did you try this at all?

I think I got a bit lucky. I’m in San Diego county (more rural) and a neighbor had a bunch of old bikes and was in rough financial shape. He sold me the 250 for $500 and it ran; but I replaced tires, chain, cables, brake shoes, fork seals...and had a few cosmetic issues to clean up before the pic above.

It was pretty competent, that’s for sure. 

That’s awesome.

About as much as I’d like to know about your mom’s bum.

“Maybe that’swhat you get with a luxury VW—a CEL/alert light that doesn’t come on.” ---this made me LOL 

I expected to hate these guys, but in all honesty they were pretty sharp and I applaud what they did. I’m a little shocked that the car doesn’t throw some SERIOUS drive system faults, it doesn’t fully disable the stability control, etc.
