Wow, the ultimate poser car! Put on your boat shoes and Ray Bans, turn the collar up on your Lacoste shirt, and drive it down to the local singles bars and join all the other divorced middle-age douchebags. This is a LIFESTYLE car, baby!

Not if you live anywhere that salts the roads in the winter. Up here in upstate NY, 2014 Mazda 3's nearly all have extensive body rust, like fender lips missing, and rust holes in the fronts of hoods. I can only assume what the floorboards look like. By the time the kid’s old enough to drive, a Mazda 3 will already be…

“Eyeballing” is ok when clearance is tight; this thing was at LEAST a foot taller than the girders, which being it’s on an Interstate, was at LEAST 13'6" (another poster claims the bridge was 14'1", which sounds believable). One of 3 things happened here:

Yes....between including a half-finished sentence and never once mentioning just WHERE this weekend’s race is being held, it reads like something that got spit out of a faulty teletype machine. GoMedia’s professionalism at it’s best....

Because of this accident, New York State banned racing on public roads for decades. When I was doing SCCA Pro Rally back in the 80's, we ended up holding locally-sanctioned events down on Pennsylvania state forest roads because New York would not allow us to hold an event.

Price aside, I can’t figure out just what the fuck this guy was trying to build here. Diesel motor, with a sport suspension? Then slap on a bunch of skinny-ass tires? Is he trying to hyper-mile on twisty roads? Make some sort of political statement? Or is he just schizophrenic?

I’m nearly certain that this all boils down to injury prevention; screws are hard metal, and hard metal surfaces inside a car cause damage to passengers in collisions. Simple as that. Also why you no longer see hard metal or wood dash panels, metal door handles, exposed metal visor arms, metal seatbelt buckles, etc.

This is Michigan; 11 axles can carry 177,500 lbs

...or Intercourse....

OK, I’m a car guy, not really a bike guy (although I’d love to have a BMW flat-twin classic circa 1975...), and I don’t understand why anybody here would even care about Harleys? They have aimed at the retired-boomer market for years; their bikes are overweight, underpowered, antiquated mechanically, uncomfortable…

I was once forced to take shelter from a tornado .under an overpass on the KS turnpike. Back then (before cellphone warnings), it was possible to get caught by surprise like that. I was driving a semi, lightly loaded, and the tornado was heading towards me from the side. Most of the 4-wheelers on the highway that day…

Nah, they just decided to do this in Philadelphia because it’s mostly white.....

Actually, this would be a TERRIBLE idea for an RV conversion:

I’m overjoyed that you included Franklin, but I’m heartbroken that Mohs wasn’t included. That Naugahyde-covered Wurlitzer of a car with on rear-facing gullwing door and a humongous 575 cu. in. V8 made it quite possibly the most ostentatious car of the 70's (even surpassing Excalibur..). For shame!

I remember tent-camping during the 24 hr. IMSA race at Watkins Glen. Every time there was a yellow, the lack of track noise caused me to wake up...

All I can say is this: Look at the talentless people they hire to write this crap....

So, is “European steel” somehow better than American steel, or Canadian steel, or even Asian steel? So, they are Chinese-made, but for some reason use European steel? Please explain!

So, is “European steel” somehow better than American steel, or Canadian steel, or even Asian steel? So, they are…

Can miscreants remove just the “J” from the nameplate. Because, if it’s possible, it’s gonna happen.....

Reminds me of I-88 in NY......

“I mean, I guess if the job of a vehicle is to contain powerful explosions, that has to take a toll, over time. Is there even a way to test these vehicles in non-catastrophic ways?”
