Yeah, that makes complete sense.

But you still want it.

Like, obviously everyone is going to be different. Everyone is going to have preferences and their own taste. Heck, some people actually liked the 11th Gen Ford T-bird that darkened America’s roadways from 2002-2005!

I want a CX-5 in a stick, not a CX-9 you ignorant fuck. I care very, very little about their obligations. I care very, very much about what I want in a car. If Mazda cared as much about about driving as they profess to, they’d make a manual transmission. ‘Nuff said.

Oh wow, I did not know that. I assumed you could still get that super base fwd sport level with a stick. Boo, Mazda, Boo.

I definitely do. The current gen is significantly more blah than the previous gen. The previous gen has better body lines, a better overall stance, and doesn’t look like Mazda hired a junior engineer from Established Car Company Excited to Please Everyone With Tremendously Bland Design Principles to do some add-on…

I’ll take just about any change to the current gen Mazda3. I’ve got the previous one, Gen2 (a 2010) and think they made some major mistakes/downgrades with the Gen3. I liked it at first but the more I look at it in comparison to the Gen2, it just looks significantly more Corrola-fied. Lost a lot of its appeal.

This is the correct take. There is never a travel situation in which carrying as little as possible on your person into the flyingrocketbus, and instead putting everything in your suitcase, isn’t preferable to the alternative. I will happily drop $30 at the airport bar for two craft beers and a shot of Bulleit, but…

Always good to see my home state doing absolutely nothing to change the perception that it’s simply the deep south of the far north.

This is literally the only account I’ve ever used on here. Excellent try. Try to be better next time.

What a wonderful and sexist comment! You’ve added so much to this dialog. Everyone thinks you are very smart, and very cool. Also very funny. Go back into your mom’s basement now.

How many truly happy Trumpers and Conservatives do you actually know?

Same. Me and my Pats fan friends all stared in disbelief. I feel like that should have been a touchdown. I feel like he re-established possession after the bobble, quite clearly, and his right knee was down in-bounds before anything went out of bounds. And at that point (I think) it seemed like the ball was at or over…

It is always neat to hear what you guys sound like. Like the inverse of seeing a radio personality’s face.

The greatest trick the GOP ever pulled was convincing the poor and middle class that the system the GOP was rigging against them was one they could use to become as wealthy as those the system itself is rigged to benefit.

It makes me so depressed to think about the number of times I’ve had Thanksgiving Conversations with right-leaning family members who decry the redistribution of wealth (and think that immigrants, welfare, and foreign aid take up 90% of their tax dollars) towards social aid programs of all types, but are either…

Why do you think hiring Ausmus or Tek would be mistakes? I’m not arguing any point, just curious what your perspective and context is. I don’t follow the Sox closely much anymore, so I’m out of the loop on lots of things. Is it mostly just the relative inexperience? Or are there other factors?

For me it’s about once a day. Sometimes I’ll be making dinner, or in the shower, or lounging on the couch, or commuting to/from work - and there will be this near-audible click in my head. And I’ll remember that Donald Fucking Trump is actually the President of the United States. And then it’ll get worse because I’ll…

My cousin and I were in his Jeep Wrangler driving from Denver to Las Vegas. There’s a stretch in Utah on i70 of about 100 miles where there’s no gas station. We know this. My cousin, who was driving, had even said out loud a couple times in order to make a mental note, that there’s a huge stretch in Utah where you…

...you can’t figure this out on your own?
