Would have liked to see Mazda stick with and evolve the Mazda5. Good size for the city.

So Toyota basically wants to make a modern version of the 1st generation Mazda MPV, which could be equipped with part-time 4WD system with a locking center differential and a 4 corner load leveling suspension that would raise ground clearance in 4WD.

There are two kinds of people in the world – those who get the Wankel, and those who don’t.

The door is at the top right of your screen.....looks like an X

Religious right-wing nutjobs usually tend to be bizarre from any sort of rational perspective, no matter what the religion is. Granted the same can be said of Religious left-wing nutjobs and even though I consider myself “left” in the current political environment there’s a pretty solid line where you stop being a…

They distribute the Chinese version of the Epoch Times around here free (SF Bay Area). I looked through a copy a couple of months ago. It was very pro-Trump, and quite bizarre, from the bits I could figure out.

I’m guessing you’ve never driven on a highway, surface street, or alleyway in an urban area. Broken lights last for weeks if not months; most people are neither knowledgeable nor confident enough to change a light, even though it’s pretty easy.

But missing a tail light.

May also have wheels. 

Yeah. I wasn’t even going hard. At all. Just a small screwup amplified by high stakes.

Fun fact: there is only a finite amount of helium in the world. We can’t make more without a powerful fusion reactor (like the Sun). And every time helium escapes a balloon it floats to the top of the atmosphere where we can’t get it back. So the practice of celebrating with helium balloons is unsustainable.

It isn’t reasonably green, in class or not.

It’s a huge barge with 500 hp, it is dumb, wasteful and would not exist in a better civilization. 

Math checks out.

People just like the feeling of these things in their ears.  They’re basically little cotton dildos for the ear canal.

Gotta get that original “British car made on a Friday afternoon” style.

13.67? That seems steep to me.

Americans need to stop complaining about the price. In a few months, after Brexit, the pound will be basically worthless and you’ll be able to pick one up for about $13.67.

The engine didn’t help much in that it got the same fuel economy as the more powerful, less complicated and more durable 6.7 ISB in the Ram. Fuelly shows the real word economy as being identical.

It was hugely hyped up online before coming out, then only returned 23mpg in real world driving. Once you factor in fuel and maintenance differences, thats not much better than 1/2 ton gassers from 10 years ago! My ‘12 sierra can easily get 19-20mpg highway on 87 octane.

My understanding was the ultimate price difference between and XD nicely speced out and a “real” 3/4-ton diesel with way more power just wasn’t enough to get people who were secure enough in their personhood to “settle” with the only slightly smaller but way less powerful Cummins XD trucks. I never cross shopped them,…
