I’d prefer their V6 over the turbo 4.

I owned an RX-8. I loved it. It was actually more fun to drive than the C6 Corvette that replaced it. I never had any problems with engine, but refilling the oil was a nuisance. The 4-door design was fantastic. The space was good—even the trunk was functional and adequate.

I disagree that it was a worthwhile experiment.
Tire noise, resin durability, etc., are all irrelevant. The experiment wasn’t necessary.

‘The correct descriptor everyone is hunting for here is “rape.” ’

They would likely be better off using dehumidifiers to extract the moisture from the air. An typical home air conditioner can produce 50 gal of water a day in hot, humid conditions.

Development history isn’t the same thing as time since invention. Instead, think of it in terms of man-hours.

The current theories are that the next CX-9 (debut at LA?) will have a turbo-4 making around 300 hp as a replacement for the present V6.

Never believe any rumor out of Australia.

One, why were you camping out in the left lane such that you got stuck behind those drivers? If there really was so little traffic, why weren’t you in the right lane?

Aren’t most of these already covered by the generic “check engine light”?

As a cyclist, I don’t filter. It is not so important to me to get in front of anyone that I choose to put myself closer than necessary to vehicles or to startle drivers by being in a location they don’t expect.

I’ve thought about the red light gauge to indicate ideal speed to hit green lights. It would make a big difference in traffic flow.

The Duratec 37 V6 in the Mustang is pretty amazing: 300+ hp, 30+ mpg hwy without even using direct injection. It’s more power than V8s from not long ago. It’s a small & light and makes a surprisingly competent track car.

If the 6 is the overall larger vehicle, how is it that the CX-5 would be harder to park in the city? They have the same turning circle, but the 6 is a foot longer. They are the same width, and I don’t know door lengths to know how much room they need for ingress/egress, but I don’t see the 6 needing less space in that…

There are laws in the US that prohibit an employer from using this info in hiring decisions. Therefore, the practice is to not involve the info in any way during interviewing. It is not that no one can talk about being married when at work, but the interview process is not the time to reveal it.

After a lifetime of camping, I’ve come to believe the best campfire is no campfire. I no longer bring food that needs cooking (also food that doesn’t require refrigeration), and I don’t rely on it for warmth.

Yes, that’s right. There are countless legal reasons a person can be fired.

“Reasonable accommodation” is the requirement of the ADA.

An interview is not just you selling yourself to the employer, it’s the employer selling themselves to you. If the interviewer demonstrates attitudes/behaviors you do not like, then you have the information you need to decide whether you want to work there.

In some states, only one party being recorded needs to give consent. That party can be yourself. In those states, it’s perfectly legal, and you are under no obligation to inform the other party.
