All Jalops start somewhere, my friend. This job’s a good starter and only needs the aforementioned glue, a Philips head screwdriver, and a 10mm wrench or ratchet.

Sure sounds like it. If it thumps almost like plastic slapping against a wooden bongo in rhythm with the bass, it’s probably the same issue.

Hatchback. Rear visibility seemed poor at first but I’ve gotten kinda used to it at this point. Adjusting the wing mirrors at a much more dramatic angle than I’m used to did a lot to alleviate the issue and minimize my blind spots. I do think it’s going to be worse on the new one, but won’t know for sure until I sit in…

Great write-up, Justin. Owning a 2015 Mazda3, two things stuck out to me:

Just make a season pass for the nav system. Ships with 37 states and the season pass gets you 11 more states as they become available. Excludes New York which can be purchased separately.

Take your goddamn star.

This calls for an empirical study. I’m going to need a team and I’m hoping you and 42 others volunteer.

Code’s coming up invalid for me. Hope that gets rectified since there’s an additional $15 coupon on the page to get this at a really good price...

Damn, you had WAY better drinks in college than I did. Many a night we spent figuring out which flavors of Tang and other powdered mixes best made Zhenka vodka palatable...

Whatever this is, it isn’t eX Driver, and I feel like I’m going to have to give this a watch. Help a fellow weeb out?

I recently revisited this game in a lucky chance, coming across an arcade machine (F-Zero AX) complete with working motion seat. It’s incredible just how sharp, modern, and brutally challenging the game still feels after all these years.

Are the equal prices for the 6MT vs 6AT on the Premium trim a sign that Mazda’s phasing out the manual? The show car had both the 6MT and AWD...and now I’m wondering whether my hopes are getting dashed quite expertly.

It’s so wrong, yet so right. I want to run away from it, yet I want to drive it. It frightens me to my core, yet it whispers sweet supercharged whines into my ear.

The no AC explains a lot. Still a heck of a find, well done.

I’ll be the one to ask: How did you manage that absolutely bonkers deal on the Forte? I can’t picture even a base model leftover being let go below 11 and change.

That GIF makes it look like they were trying to recreate the Audi R8/Porsche 911 shot from the old Top Gear intro but Hammond cocked it all up, predictably.

They should have called it the Postvia since it’s the absolute antithesis to the Previa.

We’ll know next week when we drive it if it’s any good or not
