You aren’t wrong. That’s gorgeous.

Anyone I know who has owned a sport trac has absolutely loved it and has put an unreal amount of miles on it. I too have a fascination with these things. I’m not sure it is a nearly 15k fascination though.

I can’t think of a more fitting band for a Patriots Super Bowl than Maroon 5. Both are only liked by people who don’t know any better and wear ugg boots. 

The lotus carlton and the lancia thema 8.32 are the 90's sleeper all stars. Very conservative looking vehicles (omega, lancia thema (see: saab 9000)) with fun secrets under the hood.

I would hope they’d keep them in the 26 range loaded with AWD. Any higher than that and they are shooting themselves in the foot. Why buy the 3 when the CX5 with identical specs exists? 

I wouldn’t blame anybody for going either direction. Both vehicles have their merits and strengths. They are both exceptionally fun.

Had it been brown, I’d be concerned that Mahindra was paying just a wee bit too much attention to Jalop life. A weird brown diesel manual boxy people carrier is a little too..... coincidental... isn’t it?

I might need to retire from puns after this one. Posts like this are in a different league of punnery. All I got is a golf clap.. Well done.

Ah.. Didn’t know that. GT-S Is a common trim up in Canada on a lot of Mazdas. Wasn’t aware that they named a package “GT-S” for 2019.

I..... I’m not sure if this GIF is NSFW or not......... 

It’s close, but the Abarth 500 gets the nod in my opinion. I don’t know what makes the 500 sound the way it does, but it is a fun little bratty asshole of a car just because of the sounds it makes.

GT-S? You must be a Canadian.

Hopefully an HHR SS Panel Van.

2 of the 4 actually have AWD. The VW does, and the 2019 3 will. 

Full Supropnik mode has been engaged. 

Early boxsters are a fantastic bargain if you aren’t afraid to get your hands dirty. If you are really terrified of the IMS bearing, the fix kit can be had for around 800 bucks.

You learn to love it quickly. Once your brain realizes “I don’t have to reach over to 8 different places to accomplish these tasks, I can do it all RIGHT HERE!!!” you start to like it. I think half the battle is initial configuration. It is a bit annoying figuring out where all the different configuration options are…

The no fingerprints aspect of the control knob is an underrated bonus. A passenger poked the screen once to change the audio (not realizing the 5mph lockout) and the fingerprint drove me bloody insane the rest of the ride. I waited for him to get out of sight after he exited my vehicle, and I cleaned the screen with a…

My daughter is at the age where Disney kids books with CD accompaniment are a way of life. My wife’s car is the family hauler, and my Mazda is essentially commuter only duty. I had to take my older kid somewhere and my wife hands me a CD book. I had to reference the owners manual to see if I even had a CD player. In…

I too have a Mazda 3 hatch. Removing the OEM tires was a life changing experience. The low rolling resistance tires that came on it were just dreadful. They were wallowy noisy garbage that weren’t any good in any type of weather. I put continental extreme contacts on mine and it was a different car. Suddenly it…
