I too am a mazda lover.  I had a 2015 mazda 3 2.0L manual that my brother in law currently drives and I have a 2.5 cx-5 now which is imo the most “fun”crossover out there in terms of driving dynamics.  The range, price, etc. just make it DOA.

I actually agree with you but assumed everyone would start flaming me for ignoring it. I think the new Z actually has a shot at becoming collectable one day.

The new Z is not currently offered. That being said, what is likely one of the last cars of its kind to come out of Nissan, it may yet prove collectible one day.

I have an odd argument for this. When I was a kid when the Geo’s first hit the scene. Everyone said, “Junk. Won’t last long enough to even pay it off” but here were are 30+ years later and I still see them on the road. Same goes for the Yugo, Festiva and other undeniably shitty cars. As there are people that collect…

Shit, fair enough. I pay so little attention to Mitsubishi I just assumed they still made their one decent car.

Is this an attempt at the longest kinja slideshow ever?

Pretty much every compact and midsized sedan and CUV out there.

Mitsubishi. All of them.

Why? What was he going to gain from this?

What was their thinking? Emergency services show up and see him completely unharmed, and then what? They’ll ignore the completely undamaged scooter too? The only logical conclusion, even without the video, was that they’d be extremely suspicious of the whole thing.

The dealer actually didn’t mess up the order. They double checked their order form to make sure they submitted it correctly (of course, nobody noticed the mixup when it came in). According to the manager (so take it with just under the lethal dose of salt), there’s only one car on a lot in the entire country with that…

Maine IS absolutely beautiful - my roots here go back to the 1600s (I migrate next week). FAR more so than flat and boring Florida. It’s also a really f’ing expensive place to live, relative to prevailing local wages. And the weather is miserable half the year - and unpredictable the other half. This past summer kind…

As two of the most populous states, that is rather inevitable. FL also has some laws that make it very easy to troll the arrest records for newsworthy fun. And a LOT of methheads. And some serious “if it bleeds it leads” journalism - believe me, the local news is the definition of “infotainment”.

Depends on the job. And you end up spending a LOT of money to manage those cheap guys in Bangalore, because they usually aren’t actually very good at whatever you want them to do. BTDT.

What you have to understand about Conservatism is at its core, it is about preserving an in-group protected by the law but not bound by it, and an out-group bound by the law but not protected by it.

We have here the crossing of 3 things

Rolling coal when a person is in the vicinity and when the individual rolling coal intentionally or knowingly causes that excess exhaust to contact that bystander is AT A MINIMUM an assault. They are causing their vehicle to “spit” on a living, breathing, human being that is worthy of dignity and not having his or her…
