It’s automatic. We’re going to put some ham radios in it and make it our own. Ham radios and manual transmissions require a third hand.

That would have made it impossible. Automatic probably holds value better. Mazda is an excellent car company. Their plug in hybrid is awful, but really everything else is excellent. You will both look great and have fun in it.

Top down and scarves around the neck. I have a thick bull neck that’s fully connected, so I can be a safe driver. I see people’s necks just whip around and snap in frustration they have to hit the accelerator.
Be nice to see those bubbling with the neck roll cushions on that super fit couple.
Theft is so high in Canada, police suggest leaving the keys easy to find in the house upon entry as armed and masked burglars will just burst through the door for the vehicle keys. Or let them steal the remote fob signal.
Reggie with his lack of upper body strength and 160-170 pounds can just be picked up from the driver seat and slammed on the road in a carjacking. Who knows they just might stab and rip the roof and pull him through. Reggie can’t fight.
BC has increasing homeless and street and vehicle crime. I even saw a news clip of a broad daylight shootout
Sometimes they just ship the car off in hours to the middle east or Africa.
Mark, that is unheard of in Canada.
Mark, we don’t have car jackings in Canada. None to speak of, anyway.
Not true, our homeless numbers are way down.
This is absolutely true.
Also true.
Brilliant idea to weigh the pros and cons before going shopping. I may try that next time.
I have a gift for you. Well…not really a gift. It’s more like an accessory for your stunning nothing fancy car. I’ll run fetch it lol…
A friendly reminder to keep both hands on the wheel, preferably at 10 and 2. Well…anyway…I thought it was cute. The perfect little splash of red with a dash of Christmas spirit. 
I had guests at the door yesterday and didn’t get to come back and finish this post. Anyway…happy cruising.
What suv were you looking at? I won’t judge unless it was a nissan rogue or Volkswagen taos. And then I still won’t judge.
Kia EV6 and EV9. Toyota BZ4X. Chevy Equinox and Blazer. Hyunda Kona and Ioniq.
All EVs.
Some of them were borderline SUV/Crossovers.
All were super practical. All were as boring as hell.

Kias and Hyundais look nice. Your gas is much more expensive than the USA, but if you don’t drive a ton it’s probably not worth getting an electric car.
I still don’t know what I’m getting. I’m taking mine to a body shop on Wednesday to look at a hole in the frame that is about twice the size of a golf ball. It needs some welding if it is even possible.
Nissan open to new partners, sources say, including Foxconn | Reuters https://search.app/R8o6eCivu6LT7Gkd9
Nissan is dumber than I thought. I figured Japan was forcing this. Good news for Honda. They should probably try to merge with someone, but mazda is already using Toyota transmissions, so that won’t be it. At least they won’t have to deal with Nissan.
I have seen ads about new jeeps no owner/driver for very low cost. I think some people in assembly or quality control are sabotaging the company or just teaching stupid engineers a lesson.
There was a startup issue in a brand new wrangler I believe from the video. The entire interior front console from passenger to driver door had to be fully removed and out about 2 feet to tighten one simple bolt of two on one of two wire contact points. Engineers don’t think about this often.
VW from what I have seen has the easiest to repair and most access to any part. Also using points on the car to align parking.
I wouldn’t recommend Jeep/Chrysler. They are facing insolvency.

They are having trouble selling jeeps. Mostly due to their pathetic reliability.
Watch this gear 
for a Toyota being cast in sand.
Would you trust this crankshaft? Sand casting is used I’m factories and for performance parts.
These are probably local with expensive import prices.
Could be sold as OEM no tariffs
Keep needs to go back to it’s roots with the Willy’s WW2 jeep. The ease of assembly, reliability and durability.
These kits are a throwback
I think this a German team but they build the jeep from parts in under 4 minutes.
And don’t forget The Philippines the country probably treat to keep with jeepneys still in service. A factory keeping jeep alive.
I have the cheapest model and other people pull up to me to get a performance boost. Like mine is the only one complete.
This goes. For LA. It’s enough performance . People drive too fast
Jeepneys
I wish we could scale down and drive kei trucks. Kei truck is so affordable and fuel efficient. Also if you have to push or crash it’s not bad of everyone is driving the same thing like bumper cars.
We should make bumper cars the only car on the road and busses.
