And if I do need it, why wouldn’t I just have it go through my phone? I don’t want your shitty proprietary nav, either, just give me AndroidAuto/AppleCarPlay.

That’s one of the things I like about my speed3. The hoodscoop is the only real obvious tell, and if you stay out of boost it’s just another commuter. Even the Mazdaspeed badging is docile enough that you only notice it if you’re looking for it.

I know it’s a little gimmicky that it does the pulsing light bit, but I love it.

You know, this is twice you’ve brought up the red/blue lighting on the climate control, but my 7 year old Mazdaspeed3 does that:

Yeah, but Horizon was boring as fuck. They turned down the physics to aracde levels and gave you literally zero reason to not go full throttle everywhere (no cops, speed cameras rewarded speeding, crashes were an inconvenience at most). For Horizon to be a good game, it needed to give SOME reason why you couldn’t go…

Wait... so is that why it’s called the Atlantic ocean?

Still the fox chassis.

See, I’d be totally fine with that if it was LIFTBACK instead of stupid sedan with a stupid trunk.

Mazda gets it:

I dunno, Candy looks like she could get up and leave if she wanted to.

I would love to do car sales if car sales meant talking to people and using my knowledge to help them identify the best vehicle that fits their needs, wants, and budget. I have zero desire to be the type of person who’s squeezing every mark who walks on the lot for every penny I can talk them out of.

Literally dozens!

Ah, okay, you’re just a troll.

That... seems easy enough to sawzall your way out of. I figured it was a wiring issue of some sort.

Interesting that you say that as I’ve heard it’s unnecessarily complicated for what’s basically swapping a motor that came in a 3 chassis into a different car that uses (is based on?) the 3 chassis.

It’s good to see M. Rossi is still a dick.

I was waiting and hoping that Mazda would shove the speed3 drivetrain in the 5 and sell a Mazdaspeed5 to us handful of complete weirdos who would be into that.

I haven’t been keeping up on Mustangs nearly as much since I sold my last one, is this significantly different from prior years’ GT350Rs in any way? Or is this the same pony with the ‘18 facelift?

Speed laws are stupid. I don’t mean that they’re unnecessary, but that they lack intelligence and they’re often set at speeds that are designed more for generating revenue than ensuring safety. If speed laws are REALLY “the fastest safe traveling speed under ideal conditions”, then simply going the speed limit should…

This certainly seems odd after they went and got rid of all the “uncouth” performance badging from the Chrysler. They stopped putting HEMI badges on the outside, so why put a Hellcat on the inside?
