Yes it is. As an owner, that is what you’ll see most.

It doesn’t need to be made of exotic materials, just needs better styling that foregoes kitsch and makes better use of low-cost materials to look and feel the part.

Mazda is able to do it with the Miata, at the same price point, so they can’t use cost/market as an…

That isn’t enough. The Toyobaru twins styling is radically boy-racer, alienating a large portion of enthusiasts. Those that can manage to look past that, like me, can’t get over how cheap and poorly styled the interior is.

Mazda knows how to make a great looking car that appeals to several age groups, with a nicely…

3rd gen is best gen.

“Hurry up Bill! Third honk will be from 10,000ft!”

Angry neighbors for the noise and smoke but that is as far as it will go. No national socialist HOA’s for me to worry about. ;)

My mom drove a well-used 1985 Porsche 944 throughout several of my formative years. One day I missed the bus and she was forced to deliver me to the local public education institution for adolescent children (and people say middle school, so pithy). That same Porsche had decided that particular morning that the…

While Ford had no problem beating Ferrari, they ran into trouble out running Motorola.

I’m sure the creative businessmen and engineers at Volkwagen GmbH will find a way to consume more energy from the power grid than reported, thus increasing world emissions beyond what they claimed.

Welp, I came to try and earn quote of the day, but I see you beat me to it. 1 Star for you sir, because it is all that I have to give.

(This may or may not be a ‘clean’ nuclear plant imaged, but the point is made)

Such a lovely little car with a very apt name.

Thank you for noticing my ‘*heart* Beer?’ T-shirt; it is pretty fabulous.

That made me laugh.

Been soldering since I was 12 years old and I still manage to do this on occasion.

*sigh* *rolls eyes* *brings out snips*

Seriously; anyone that doubts soldering, is just doing it wrong.

If you have to crimp splice, there are proper crimps, and AutoZone (or equivalents) generally don’t carry them. A good indicator is that quality crimps will have a corresponding crimp tool/mandrel, not a stamped mild-steel wire-cut/crimper that is often…

Clarkson knows how to come up with a username, damn. Bravo.

To quote RCR, “If you need a specific car to get you some, apple pie likely wasn’t on the menu to begin with.”

I have to agree, as a longtime fan of the Fiero, there are just too many better looking and better performing alternatives available. This is a great car at 6-8k, anything more and other cars appear that just do it better, including the MR2.

That’s neat.

The reliability of the RX-8 doesn’t bother me so much, as my rotary ownership was a positive one. The fuel economy is tough to suffer for the power delivered. Didn’t bother me the first time around since I had turbos and a short commute but now I’m looking at way less power, not enough twisties on my…

Eh, I like the rotary, I guess I didn’t learn my lesson whilst owning an FD before.

That said, I’d be perfectlyhappy with an RX-8 running an MZR from a Miata, maybe with a little supercharger to keep it interesting.

What is wrong with me; I have been pondering the idea of owning one of these lately. Not sure if mentally healthy any longer.
