Ok that’s nice. Now where is the new Mazdaspeed3?

They used instruments that were able to verify that it is in fact water that caused the discoloration. That’s part of the reason it took so long for them to confirm it.

They delayed it a over a year? Damn.

I know, right? At least then you were sure they were actually talented.

Those pines! If I remember correctly, they are one of the few trees that have distinct male and female trees. The female trees smell like vanilla, while the males have more of a butterscotch scent. Did an 11 day hike at Philmont and the area was covered with them. Wanted some candy so bad after the first few days.

I for one am very much enjoying the simplicity of that center stack. I love a good, clean look. This and the current Mazda3 are my current favorites. Ford could learn a thing or two.

What you did there; I see it

Cool! Yeah, I’m very much looking forward to getting some seat time. And since I’m buying used I’m hoping that the seats will already be broken in

Yeah at this size clothes are a pain. I’m also 6’3” but not really heavy. It’s hard trying to find anything that that’s ‘Big & Tall’ but not overweight. Everything is either too short or looks like a sundress XP.

The real question is what you chest size is. Mine in 43 inches and they squeezed my ribs pretty hard. Would like to try a seat that has been broken in though.

Does it meet the SCCA width/height requirements in order to compete in Solo? No? Then don’t give a shit.

Am I doing it right?

Yeah. That said, the Alfa driver was on the ragged edge. A professional tester should know that you are gonna have people wanting to get a look at the new prototype, and just deal with it. Pushing so hard just cause someone is gonna see your car isn’t safe. He almost collected a few slower drivers around there.

Eh. He does get too close a few times, but this is a guy that lives just down the road from the ‘Ring and runs it almost every time the open the track. He knows how to drive the ring and where to be careful. I would argue the Alfa driver was doing much worse than him.

DEAR GOD GIVE IT TO ME NOW!

Aaand now I want to re-watch the animated series. For the 7th time.

Where the “Porsche” that’s on the car in the rest of the photos?

I think they wanted a place that had the ‘look’ of Mars. Cause looking out the window and only seeing desolation can do things to your head. This location seems to be a pretty good simulacrum.
