I love this rumor but we must all admit that the chances of Mazda actually selling a car that I would buy new are exactly zero. Turbo inline six = exactly what enthusiasts want, which makes great rumors but poor profits. Whenever this finally comes out we’ll be lucky to even get an inline 4. Sad, because I would…

The answer also seems to be correct. She cannot represent POC effectively in order to respond authentically, and she is smart enough not to offend others by trying to do so, and she doesn’t want to offend anyone. Admittedly she also doesn’t want to say something that will harm her public reputation.

I’ve considered trading my Vette on an R8, GT350, GT-R, and various other cars over the past year. Fuel economy was part of the decision because this is my DD and I don’t see any reason to pour money down a hole every time I want to go somewhere. I still have the Vette because it’s the best solution to my personal…

I disagree. One of the reasons I’ve owned 3 Corvettes as daily drivers is that they are more fuel efficient than comparable performance cars. They’re also better performing than comparably priced competitors and quite reliable. Really the sweet spot for me.

Definitely both. I go to car shows to see the cars, but if there’s a chance of dumbassery you can bet I’ll find a safe place to watch from. (Behind a thick tree, hundreds of feet away.)

Except organized motorsports events are so organized that they are often dull. Watching some dumbass wreck his personal car is a lot more entertaining than watching a pro beat another pro based on technical points or a few tenths of a second. Why not put up barriers around a designated hooning area and let the idiots…

Ertefa sounds interesting. I haven’t gone to something like that since the 90s. They used to gather all the fast modded cars at the end of an industrial dead end street after midnight, block the incoming road with parked cars about a half mile away, and drag race for hours. Nobody brought booze or guns or drugs. They w…

This reminds me of college football. “I hate Alabama [Bernie Bros] and Nick Saban [Bernie], but after they beat my team [preferred candidate], I’m suddenly their greatest fan because the SEC [Democratic party] must win the national championship [presidential election].

Agreed, but still a great summary video that would have saved me a lot of time when I was researching swaps a few years back. This is one of the only videos I've watched on this site. 

I’ve been wondering for a while now - did he actually lick her, or just get very close? Gotta wonder what goes in the contract for that sort of acting...

Exactly. Drop the tiny motors and add the LT1, LS7 and LSA. Sure, I’d prefer a V10 or V12, but the LS/LT engines should be right behind them.

Sad that this isn't true. It would sell better and enthusiasts would be more excited than we are for the current model.

The amazing thing is how long Tesla has had superior tech. The entire industry has had a decade to figure it out and nobody is even close to matching them.

All good points. But if my spouse was negotiating terms of my living arrangements, travel, finances, family obligations and official status, I'd sure want to be in the room. If I've learned one thing from important meetings at work, it's that skipping them always means something goes in a direction I don't want. 

This deserves all the stars. Very big deal and very cool piece of history. Plus it's already got seats and harnesses as all of these should. Whoever buys it should take it back to the 'Ring and re-live history being made.

Do we have to go to NCM or is there a web link to research VINs? I'm curious to learn more about mine.

If it was a 450hp monster I'd buy one... Nutjobs like me aside, you're right.

Typical Mazda. Pretty car, weak sauce powertrain. It’s almost like they just don’t want to try. This will enjoy weak sales like the rest of their underpowered models.

Wait. He’s been convicted for transporting child pornography before and shows up to an FBI interview with more pics on his phone? Dude deserves a medal in repeat dumbassery. (And lots more time in jail since the Czech prison didn’t get the point across.)

‘Taking bribes in strip clubs’ is totally going on my bucket list. Probably just ahead of ‘escape from justice in a roadie box’. I really need to work in the auto industry!
