Mazda- They’re the underdog and I root for them. have owned 2 so far. Better interiors , better performance and more value for money in features than the mainstream competition any day (although some tech is lacking). Love their 2.5 Turbo best inline 4 outside a BMW B48

Mazda - I got hooked on the Zoom-Zoom. Current owner of two Mazda3s and previous owner of a Mazdaspeed6.

Hybrids - all the positives of an ICE engine + none of the downsides of an EV. 

But no range anxiety, smaller battery = less weight, which all translates to more fun and less tyre wear (and less road wear).

“I don’t wear seatbelts because it’s better to be thrown clear of the accident.”

I’ve heard this eyeball-roller more than once: owners told me how they “baby” their ride by putting premium gas in the tank instead of the correct regular grade. The whole idea of premium grade for higher compression engines to prevent knocking was beyond them—”babying” was all they knew.

OP would have to stretch the budget by 2-3k, but a 2020-2021 Volvo V60 might be an option for for 31-33k OTD

Future Congressman for sure. 

Was the tour that overran a ship tour, or an independent one? Because if it was the latter, then every cruiser knows this is a risk. Ship departure schedules are set in stone, engraved in gold, they will leave without you. It is something you accept. The skipper will spit you right out on the quayside if your own…

You’re much better off doing a tour excursion with the cruise ship company rather than a private local tour since they’re much more likely to accommodate the all-aboard time. Same goes for cruise ship staff: if you miss the all-aboard time, you can get in pretty bad trouble including being fired. I’m sure this still…

As stupid as this all is, it feels fantastically American. Big trucks. Large debt payments. Have now, pay later attitude. Wingeing over the debt payments. Just needs a video complaining about how their property taxes are too high.

Wrong EV company for that. 

The fastest set of Hyundai Sonata tail lights outside of a Hertz fleet.

Lost its way...right to the bank.

All your base 4Runner are belong to us!

It’s still a cool looking truck, but I still can’t swallow the price.

Wow that’s a funky looking bike... Maybe you should proofread your AI a bit better...

A friend has a double lung transplant and as such is on immunosupressant drugs and wears a mask ALL the time. He works in a very conservative community in Alberta and was told by the boss that he can no longer wear a mask as it upsets the clients and co-workers. He presented his dr’s notes and continued to wear it and…

I’ll never cease to be amazed at how quickly conservatives went from sucking Trump’s cock because the Covid vaccine was made available during his presidency and saying what a medical miracle it was, to immediately doing a complete 180 when Biden won and saying how it’s going to kill you and turn you gay or w/e.

The irony is, the other passenger was protecting themselves from people like THIS guy sitting next to them unvaccinated for hours breathing the same recirculated air. Who knows how many others like him DIDN'T get off...
