No amount of money would convince me to own a VW out of warranty. I wouldn’t hesitate to own a Mazda until it returned to the salt of the earth.

Every ep of Season 2 could be a pilot for a different show.

You want black Jesus?

As an engineer, I appreciate a different ICE. This design was never given a chance, unlike the 100 years worth of investments in piston engines to get them where they are today. Give this damn thing a 100 percent and it’ll return 30 MPG while revving to 10,000 RPMs. ICE over electric motors any day !

As an engineer, I appreciate the mechanical weirdness, even if it’s not technically optimal.

How does this in particular further proves your feeling? I mean you obviously don’t listen to much ‘’popular’’ or hip-hop music (never heard of Future) so the initial annoucement of Kendrick Lamar as curator should have been enough.

I didn’t know C&D didn’t even use consistent drivers. I don’t keep up with their publication much anymore. Doesn’t this completely invalidate the lap times? I know lap times are meaningless, but at least Motor Trend uses Mr. Pobst. Points for consistency.

Warning: “That guy” comment inbound.

Imagine the potential embarrassmentof losing to privateers as a factory team...

So basically Toyota 1- 2 and whoever survives the longest in 3rd

The thing I like about the WRX sans-STI wing, was that it looked like a mildly breathed on/sporty sedan without going whole hog on the acne-riddled teen-racer silliness. An STI with a spoiler swap is still one of the best performance bargains you can get without looking like you have a monthly vape juice delivery and…

Not always, but...

Gladiator.

Mazda:

It’s not about narrative, really; it’s about drive. Having something to offer the world is purpose. Benefiting society is purpose. Purpose can be anything—it’s just the thing that motivates you to keep going even though there are countless things working against you at all times.

Cool article, but I think the craziest part of the slushbox has been omitted... the valve body.
