As a Mazda owner (x3) and huge fan of Mazda, I still have to give this a CP. I will not purchase another Mazda older than 2008 (unless its another low-mileage Miata) since anything before that rusts to nothing in short order.

aptly named. should be Stealman, though

Why did the idiot who pulled out then nearly stop mid-turn with the bike barreling down on him? If he would have committed, and just pulled out at a normal pace, this whole thing could have been avoided.

LEFT turn has the right-of-way when turning onto a highway on ramp. Right turn has a yield sign. So many idiots sit there and wait to make a clear left turn because a line of cars are turning right onto the same on-ramp. It drives me nuts when I have to sit through another light cycle because of this...

YIELD DOES NOT MEAN STOP!!!!

Vehicles with certain capless refueling systems do not allow this to happen anymore. It mechanically stops you from inserting a Diesel nozzle into a Petrol, and Diesel capless actually prevents you from inserting the smaller Petrol nozzle.

2006 Mazda3 = RUST!!

I actually worked with someone who left their car door open in the parking lot. A coworker and I threw in an empty pack of cigarettes and closed the door. When we informed him, he did not seem surprised. In fact, his response was (no joke): “Again? One time my neighbor called me and told me I left my car door open. I…

How is it that the cost for this repair did not total out a 2010 Honda fit? Was the Fit still brand new on a dealer lot when it was damaged and repaired?

Driving on the Autobahn is surely still better than any highway in the US, in my opinion. We still have a TON of construction and congestion, but compounded extremely poor road quality (by comparison), and ridiculously low speed limits.

This is very interesting to me, as I am skeptical as to why Diesel is so expensive in the US.

Our former “Quality Engineer” once peeled the top off of a K-cup and hit brew. Had to tear the thing apart and run several cycles to try and clean the grounds out of the machine.

Not so insane. Clutches on these relatively smaller and less powerful cars will last a long time, especially with a lot of highway cruising. If you know how to drive, that is. My 2006 Mazda3 currently has 238k on the original clutch, even with 3 full seasons of autocross earlier in its life. I’ve owned it since…

My first car was a 1992 Roadmaster aka Roadsmasher aka Roadtoaster! Sedan, though. I still miss that car. It was the best for winter driving, super easy to controllably slide around and heavy enough that it never got stuck (I plowed the road with my front bumper more than once).

I have to agree. I had this same sentiment Looking over a lot of the consistently quickest cars in our SCCA region’s autocross events: First and second gen Miatas, E36 M3, FD RX-7, eg Civic, even Suzuki Swift GTi !

What’s with the guy who was hiding behind the Range Rover? He just pops up out of nowhere.

Miata.

Stopping at Yield signs when no one else is around.

Craziest:

Cruising down the highway in the second lane, I see this Company ABC van drifting all over the place, bouncing between the 3rd lane I assume he is trying to be in, and parts of the second lane, and far inside lane. As I pass, I observe this fool looking downward at his phone and taking a half-second glance at the…
