You just know when the Raptor driver parks he takes up 2 spaces so no one dings his “baby”

That’s why you want animals.

Borio Kart!
Instead of shells and bananas they throw piss beer (bud/miller/coors light) at anyone and leave wrecked trails wherever they go.

I think we both knew the answer to that question but didn’t want it to be true...

WTF it looks broken! You made the right call for sure.

Sorry about your 3, but I love that you brought the shift knob over.

In my biased opinion, as a Mazda3 driver, this is the correct answer. It’s great on gas (87 OCTANE, not the premium nonsense) even with the 2.5L, the trunk is big-ish, plus it slays on track with the right tires.

👍🏼 Same

Shoot. At OP, I’m actually looking to sell my 2015 mazda3s with the 6spd manual for around your budget. It runs great, has a 93 octane tune and oem+ shocks/springs. No accidents, 82k miles. I’m the 2nd owner for the last 5 years. Everything works, no issues. Even installed the OEM Mazda Android auto. Only issue is,…

And that 20hp they find for the next model year.

This.

The TSX gets terrible MPG (I saw under 20 mpg in city driving) and 93 is recommended. Similar MPG for the other optoins.

Does it have to be, though?  My furnace filter is 40 bucks if I find it on sale, replace it every two months.

You HAVE to know a OEM installed LS in a Miata would necessitate TONS more weight than aftermarket swaps which get to ignore all sorts of things.

Small counterpoint, most of what you say about utvs is true, but you’re gonna have a hard time building a rail that can outclass a utv on any track on the east coast. The sport is filled to the brim with redneck dickheads, but a turbo Yamaha YXZ with a slapstick is a unique experience and a blast. I used to race a lot…

Depends. If the manufacture’s engine is dirty enough to fill the particulate filter in 3 years, there’s bigger problems to be concerned with. We faced this with diesels, and some of them did fill up with ash that quickly. This is why VW chose to cheat, their fixed gen 1 TDIs do fill them up very quickly now.

Fun fact: In the North America OEM’s are required to warranty these items for 10yrs for this reason. There’s a reason VW went dirty. It wasn’t because the cars couldn’t operate with the equipment efficiently. It was that doing so was going to cost them a fortune in SCR and DOC’s. The whole DieselGate thing was nothing…

Yes and no. Diesels by nature produce an order of magnitude more particulate matter than gas cycles. Not all Diesels have a DPF. Check out Iveco or FPT diesels, they run hotter to kill the particulate and instead over produce NOx. They deal with this with DEF injection which has its own issues.

Bros always say that.

Performance there is a loss, my issue is as someone who drives a 3/4 ton truck, the filters are not cheap to replace. they are designed to fail eventually, it is the nature in which they work. they heat up and get super hot to burn off the carbon buildup and after a while they no longer clean themselves properly and…

Most the people you see with one “can’t afford one” or the truck they’re towing them with. It’s usually the typical spend-every-dime and go-into-debt “work hard-play hard” types that have them. YOLO. CTIWU. and on and on.
