Sup guys.

Yeah there are definitely two sides to this immigration thing.

Reminds me of this



I'd love to fly in one of those Honda Planes =) Does it have Vtec?

 

Good reference and very true shinjari!

They have yet another bias, but I try to listen more to NPR and sources outside of the country. Our news networks have become so biased on one side or the other that the information they spread is nearly just entertainment with little fact.

 

hummm.. spain? lol


oooo dogdamn dat honda flies! quite literally. lol

 

San Diego is pretty much 70s year round haha.

Spain....maybe certain areas. But when we were there in August....the humidity and heat were pretty high. I cant read non-retard units...aka Celsius...but it was typically around 30c give or take.

 

30C is 86F.

 

datz too hot! never mind.

 

where i’m at right now is 95F. wtf..

 

alright got done with the meeting and now taking it easy after downing some local cheese burger.

so i got a newish mazda cx5 today as a rental.. a good learning experience for me. i heard mazda had greatly improved their interior so my expectations was maybe a little too high cause i was not impressed. sure i see some euro cues here and there but nowhere near the quality of my autobahn GTI or Golf-R. the biggest issue was the cheese arse buttons on the steering wheel and the color and finish of the metallic painted bits. all done in poor taste.

otherwise the seating position wasn’t horrible, adaptive cruise worked fine, auto wipers worked okay too. not enough power but expected. ride itself is soft and for a suv acceptable. too bad mazda is still dat japanese hyundai of a car.

 

actually hyundai might be better..

 

It's painful for me to admit, but Hyundai and Kia are actually better than a fair amount of other car brands.

I'm curious to see how the Stinger GT holds up and to see how it progresses. It's my type of car overall.

 

yah if u can get past the name i’m sure it’s fine. i personally would go euro though.

 

already thursday? dogdamn.. heading out in a bit to catch my flight home.

hope to get home early and maybe go ride my bicycle with my kids in da park.


have a good thursday everyone!

 

Yeah I like the way styling of the new mazdas. Haven't been in one or driven one.

Also agree the Hyundai's and Kia's are high up there on the 'cars worth looking at' list. That stinger GT is neat. The rear end needs to grow on me...its...'ok'.

Yesterday I got my engine bay covers from Hong Kong. $35 for the pair vs the $100/ea OEM from the UK. These should've come from the factory. Cleans up the engine bay so much.

Came with the necessary plastic body clips and I only had to drill (1) on the passenger side. The cover had a hole for a clip....but the frame didn't. Besides that I'm very happy with it.








Also! Saw this cherry looking Supra the other day and forgot to share.

 

looks nice shinjari!! i too like to keep my engine bay looking tidy

 

Thanks Kenchan. Added a supra pic at the end there in case you missed it. It was parked by my house the other day. Super clean.

 

wow clean supra!

 

Big improvement shinjari! Very nice addition.

The Supra isn't so bad either

 

vw forming alliance with ford?

 

I could see that working well.

VW focus on smaller stuff and Ford focus on the larger stuff.

Basically let VW do the car engineering and let Ford do the SUV/Truck stuff. The new Atlas we had as a loaner was a complete pile. Any Ford SUV (explorer, expedition, edge) is a better vehicle. On the flip side, Fiesta/Focus/Fusion could certainly use some VW engineering to improve their interiors and maybe beef up their drivetrains.

 

sounds like a plan!
