Wow! That sounds fantastic. 🤩

The head of a white and brown harlequin-patterned female cat sleeping with her head resting on a blanket, the tip of her tongue visible.

In which Stella demonstrates the elusive Sleeping Mlep™.

And he's wearing a nice rug, too.

Nice move by GM. Of course the general public couldn't care less, but for enthusiasts following the story, it's a major PR win for GM to take that posture.

As cliché as it sounds, this, at age 7. Had the poster. I was into planes/space first, and it was the bridge between that love and cars.

The 240Z was just the car my dad drove to work.

Great spot. What a lovely little thing that is. 🤩

And it looks like it's wrapped. Yeesh. 😬

Resist! The QF for you is still out there...

This is the inevitable endgame of the widespread Deep Grille trend Audi started with the C6 (and that I've never forgiven them for).

This Thomas Ogden quote. ♥️

My lunch date tomorrow is the first one I've ever had to do homework for. Hopefully I get a passing grade! Wish me luck. 😅

I remember filling my Supra's tank at a gas station in Florida and being upset that it cost me $30 (at $1.35/gal for 93). 😂

The Sony headunit I bought for my first car ('82 Tercel, acquired in '96), had fancy software that would detect silence on the cassette and stop the fast forward / reverse at that point. Next best thing to a CD player.

I'm convinced it is psychologically impossible for any human being to dislike the MX-3.

It's a riff on the SVX theme for sure. The Subaru's FWD-based platform dictated a less attractive dash-to-axle ratio than the MX-03's.

Sucks, doesn't it?

You can still get an older car and upgrade it, though... Crutchfield is still alive and kicking. 😉

Yep; I put about the same value of Infinity equipment in my similarly-valued minivan back in January, ran all new wires, did it right, etc.

And, like you, I kept all the old speakers and made sure *everything* is reversible. 😁

Yep; audio upgrades are so much more challenging nowadays. I wouldn't even know where to start in adding an amp, sub, etc, to a car with a touchscreen interface.

My conversations with Draco, word for word. 😅

Either 2nd or 3rd. That's where you can stomp on it around 3-4K rpm and *really* feel the meat of the torque curve.

For turbo cars, 1st doesn't put enough load on the engine to engage the turbo. That was a real eye-opener when I was driving my A70 for the first time home from ATL to St. Augustine.

Looks like a "Livier" to me. 🤷‍♂️

Mute button on the steering wheel flake out?

You mean in terms of the pattern? Possibly. Like I told Glenn, at the price they're offered, it's worth investigating.

Sexy.

My plan is to install the JDM headlights w/Xenons, OEM foglights (that the car is pre-wired for!), and the '04-'06 OEM Altezza-style taillights. I think that'll do me. 👍

Yep I remember preventatively replacing the FSR (final stage resistor) in my E46. It was hell.

Good luck. 🫡

I resemble this post.

There may be a way to swap the left and right reflector bowls. There wasn't on my E46 when I did the OEM HID swap, but Mazda's assemblies may be different.

It's also really ugly. The latest generation's looks are such a downgrade from the previous', and amping up the Optimus Prime-ness of the front end doesn't help. 👎

The whole point of driving a Mustang is to look cool. 🤷‍♂️

True. I do need to see how symmetrical the output is, but for the price, it's worth a shot.
