Are you basing that off of a 40 hour work week, or every minute of the year, 24 hours a day? Because as best as I can find, Kimi’s 2017 contract is 7 million guaranteed, with up to a 10 million dollar bonus. That’s approximately $8,173 an hour, based on a 40 hour work-week, or $136 a minute. If we take that to 24/7…

Umm, why no late ‘90s Corolla? Those things are bomb-proof, and way less than $2K.

I believe that English should be more like German, and make up words to convey full ideas. With that being stated, I hereby declare that “tasteless and boorish rich who love to parade their terrible sense of style all over the place” can be summarized in the word “Trumpdashian”.

So, uh, you live in Detroit? I can’t think of anywhere else you can buy a 6 bedroom house for 62,500.

Contrary to popular belief, Americans do not have a monopoly on obesity.

Wait what? No effing way. They can not possibly tell you that you can’t drink a beer in your back yard.

Who the hell trades in a car with 77 miles on it? How is that even possible?

I’m guessing you were already replying to my comment, and I am sorry about that. I commented, then scrolled down further, read the other comments and yours, and then went back and deleted mine, all within a period of about 3 minutes, because as you say people had already been all over you, and your explanation of…

Eh... deleted.

Can’t remember where exactly but there was a worse story than this I once read - essentially the kid and his dad went and looked at a car that was $6K, and it was heavily foreshadowed that he might be getting it for his high school graduation. Instead he got a Bible. Kid angrily stalks out and never talks to his…

It’s better looking anyway - I actually don’t get the reverence for the MkIV over this, other than it being newer and the TT model being a beast. I’m not even a fan of most ‘80s cars and this thing just looks incredible.

That’s still one of the stupider PSA style anti-piracy ads, which ignores the biggest flaw in their “stealing” argument - stealing a car deprives another person of use of said car. Downloading music or a TV show does no such thing. I’m not saying it is right, but they are not an apples to apples comparison.

I apologize for my snide tone in my original reply, and appreciate your very well reasoned response. In fairness to Mazda though, I do see an awful lot of CX-5's on the road. Sure, not CRV numbers, but still it’s not at all uncommon to see 3-4 others every time I go out (and I work from home so I don’t drive far…

You have obviously - and I mean OBVIOUSLY - never driven one. That’s what sets Mazda apart from the other shit. They have literally built what reputation they have on the driving dynamics of their cars. More than 5% of buyers care about that, but don’t fall into the “Enthusiast” category.

You are trying to compare an old mazda vehicle to new, and it doesn’t work. This generation of cars is completely different than the Mazda of old. First of all they have no partnership with Ford, and don’t shop out of the Ford parts bin anymore. The CX-7 and CX-5 don’t share any parts - the CX-5 was a completely…

Look again - those engine issues are a thing of the past. Yes, the CX-7 turbo engine sucked, and sucked hard. But the Skyactiv engines have been very reliable. I’ve had my 2014 CX-5 GT since Feb of 2013, and it has been awesome.

Isnt’ an V8 swap the best thing to do for all those IMS bearing failed 996's? Probably less weight and more power.

Your name is really what sells that comment.

Come on, just offer it up on MGBoard (I assume this is a thing).

This is absolutely the right answer.
