This is literally a current gen Mazda.

At least you know it still has oil in it, so that’s something.

I’m bringing my $500 ‘88 Dakota, and it’s what I would call a fair representation of exactly that. If you’ve listened to any of the host podcasts they seem like a laid back bunch of guys that just love cars, so you should be good to go.

I’m sure the dog would happily wait for the bone to be soaked in butter first.

Also, data.

I remember seeing a drab green Cactus with Baja plates on the 10 on one of my morning commutes. I did, in fact, lose my shit.

He literally decided that’s what he wanted to do, put together a website, and made it happen. There’s not a whole lot more to it, just a lot of hard work, knowledge, and hustle. It would probably help to know a bit about building websites, marketing, and how the new and used car sales process works. If I were trying…

Doug has been doing that very thing for years and years. His letter directly supports why having a facility such as his is an important thing.

In his case, you make that job out of thin air.

The CX-9 was the chase car. When your 40 year old, non-air conditioned car broke down and got loaded on to the tow truck, at least you had a ride to dinner in comfort.

It’s hard to see in the video, but there’s a pretty interesting linkage system that lets you operate a gas pedal and a brake pedal with what is essentially a joystick. I’ve tried them out before and I’m no good at it, but with practice it should be like driving any automatic car. Side by sides are all CVT, so no…

I don’t believe you, you’d still be accelerating even today to get to a speed like that.

I had fun with a rental Altima once. I found out how much Texas pipeline easement road mud could fit in the wheelwells. The answer is a lot.

In this case, that’s a feature. Just don’t run into anything.

For the right price anything is possible. I’d imagine that Rolls Royce has a guy for that exact thing.

I’ve had multiple people at Mazda tell me the same thing. One of their marketing guys literally told me not to drive one or I’ll bring it home. I believe him.

In the last press release, the fuel economy numbers are most likely there due to some sort of German law that requires them to mention them in anything that could be an advertisement.

That actually looks like really good traffic for LA.

Gotta cover that depreciation, and there’s going to be so much depreciation.

I would rock the hell out of one of these, but this in is CP all day. Bad paint, shoddy rust repair, and a turbo on the way out? Nah.
