What’s really interesting is that the tech oligarchy, defined by people like Musk and Peter Thiel, don’t believe in democracy as a valid social order. They’re extremely liberal libertarians who don’t respect or support government, even if it’s ostensibly by the people, for the people. So when he says “vital to a…

Came here to ask something similar. Has Mazda managed to go from offering the least compelling EV on the market to the only EV that actually needs more oil changes than a normal car?

Rear suspension is a semi-independent torsion bar, same as the Mk1 and 2 GTI, Fiesta ST, and many other great FWD cars. 

The first R8 was great. It was a GT that fringed on supercar and started at $100k when F430's were double that and 612's were both almost triple the price and slower. It was like the i8 where its styling with the sideblades looked like it traveled back in time. And in the bang-for-the-buck category there was nothing…

Welp, looks like you, an avid off road enthusiast, really did forget at least one. There is an F150 Tremor these days. https://www.ford.com/trucks/f150/models/f150-tremor/

And you really want to get that undercoating too. Nothing worse that a rusted out charger. It may cost a bit more, but what you’re really buying is peace of mind.

It makes sense they gave it no access to open water.

slow clap

Yes. Let’s impeach the president for something that was caused by Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and corporate greed. Remember that, even as prices are going up, the oil companies are raking in massive profits. 

Tell me you dont know how any of this works, without teling me you dont know how any of this works.

Trump goofed up, he pushed the button too hard and for a hot minute oil was selling for negative money. Can’t have that!

Elon can make all of that possible with OTA updates.

I like all of my space my RX-8 has. It took some doing to actually find one without a sunroof, but I did it. I’m 6'5" and I actually have helmet room.

I can fit in an RX-8. I cannot fit in an S2000. And I’m somebody who has no problem fitting in a Miata.

As far as I know there are only two issues with the S2000 and why I’ll keep my RX-8 over getting one:

Definitely a nice price for the later S2 RX-8. Mazda made some pretty significant updates under the skin for the 2009 & later cars, including a much improved water pump to prevent high-speed cavitation and a third oil injector for better lubrication of the apex seals.

Another reason a lot of people chose the likes of Granger in Iowa and Stephens in WV is their transparency. I feel fucking icky after leaving a car lot, whether I bought something or not. The fact that these dealers were willing to go on a message board and have a clear pricing policy without any “well, you know this…

the dealer drew a lot of reservations by pricing the Bronco $1,000 below MSRP

I’d been considering getting into off-roading but if it’s all a bunch of MAGA people -- evidently to the point it merited two separate mentions at two points in the article -- I’ll pass.

Everyone’s talking about the seat mismatch and all I can see is this...
