I have to hand it to Mr. Regular..... This is probably the most honest review of an AZ-1 I have come across. I am a Mazda fanboy, so these things have been on my radar for a while. Alas, I think he confirmed what I already knew to be true but didn’t want to admit: My 6+ foot tall 200 pound self probably isn’t fitting…

What the mechanic sees when a biturbo pulls in

and now I want a Donair..... and I’m nowhere near Halifax.

Yes indeed. His first album was Fly By Night, and Anthem is the first track on that album. Hell of an introduction!

True story.. Bullet time in the matrix was modeled after watching Neil Peart play the intro to “Anthem” live in the 70's. 

I actually had fun doing it. my friends called me a nerd. both statements are correct.

I think 2914 Scion was a rush song

It also appears to be very very sad about something.

Eh, the longer you keep your car and the less repairs you have, the better the numbers work in your favor. If you turn your cars around quicker and like needier beasts, the subscription plan isn’t as bad of a deal as one would think. You’d also have to maximize the 15k miles a year to get full value out of it. The…

So food for thought. If you had bought a 2011 T6 XC60.. List on those was about 42k. If you bought it, let’s say you paid a 1.9% interest rate and financed it at 20% down for 5 years. $587 a month for 60 months. Total payments 35,220 plus 8,400 down for a real price of 43620.

Now does it grind fine enough for some espresso?

The same can be said for Smart. They’d get more takers if they brought the diesel over and were in the 70mpg range. However, the version we get is in the same MPG range as a Mazda 3 or a Honda Fit. Unless you are in an extremely urban area and parking is at a huge premium, it makes little sense to go with the Smart…

It isn’t a terrible angle for mini. The novelty of them has worn off, and now they are just expensive small cars with lots of problems and an interior that is behind its competitors. Yes they drive well and are a hoot, but the value proposition isn’t there.

I really wonder how effective “outplacement services” are.. When I got laid off, I didn’t find them to be terribly useful. They just recommended changes to my resume that didn’t really fit with my field and the types of jobs I was going for. They didn’t actually help apply to any jobs or get my foot in the door.

That headline nearly writes itself. “Florida Man arrested for air drying genitals on public highway at 130mph”

Dude took hot lapping the course too seriously.

No... But there was a Citroen wagon ambulance that was both diesel and manual. That has to be worth something.

Looks like either the old Monkeemobile or a fairly decent replica

The other part is, they aren’t going after Subaru. They are going after Volvo. They are trying to pitch this as an upscale outback alternative.

Kind of counting on that. My Mazda 3 hatch is a bit tiny for a grade schooler and and an infant. I’m tossing around a CX9, or a Sienna, but the TourX is on my list too.
