    Parking - How Close is Too Close?

    A big macho Explorer (I think?) with one of those weird bug deflector things on the hood. 🤣 I agree tho, way too close. Hopefully you let them know so.

    My Wheels Are Ruined

    Yeah, from a quick google search, it looks like Maguires Hot Rims can damage the paint if it dries on the wheel. Yikes. I usually use the left over soap in the bucket from washing the car. I do the wheels last so I don't spread brake dust all over the car. It works great and I've never had a...

    Off Topic EV discussion

    I'm not sure if that accounts for the strip mining of rare earth elements and the disposal of the batteries? It also seems like what time you're plugged in and how many other EVs are plugged in at that same time would make a difference in power plant emissions. It's all so convoluted...a...

    Off Topic EV discussion

    Ours runs on natural gas. PG&E is our only source and they're shady as hell. So shady in fact, that the TV show American Greed did an episode on them. The Big Island gets geothermal power from the volcano! EDIT: In case you're bored and want to see some blatant corruption...

    Off Topic EV discussion

    Some sort of anti-flip measure, maybe? EDIT. heh I don't wanna get all political and stupid, but if someone buys an electric car to be "green", the 1st step would probably be to figure out how your local power plant makes electricity. Unless you live on Hawaii's Big Island, or near Niagara...

    Poll NEW Nissan Z pics and vids

    Looks like he's getting comfortable in that thing quick! :giggle: Pretty cool cars; I like how, styling wise, they blended in some 240Z with some Z32. 400hp sounds fun, too! I've never seen one up close in person, but I'll say that between that and the new Supra, us Mazda fans are itchin' for...

    Good call on the LG. (y) From the research I did, only Sony can touch them and they're almost twice the price. We also bought an LG recently (got lucky and found a CX), and holy crap it was an upgrade from our old 1080. With the LG and the PS5, Red Dead Redemption 2 looks like a fricken'...

    Off Topic As off-topic as it gets.. Moving week!

    Nothing except a tin foil hat. 🤣 I dunno, I guess I'm old school and don't trust Siri or Alexa to not listen to every word I say. Again, congrats on the new spot. It looks nice and clean. So much better than any basement.

    Driving style question

    "Italian Tune Up" is all about burning off carbon deposits in the combustion chamber. :) It's a must for an RX-7. If it hurt the car to rev it to 4k then the redline would be 3900rpm. Once its warm, go at it. If there's a problem, it's on Mazda because revving it to 4K isn't abuse. No way.

    New to MazdaSpeed World, need a little help

    lol I'm still having trouble believing you found a good wiring harness for an MSP at a junk yard. You've definitely got luck on your side. (y)

    New CX-5 GT. Install Amazon NAV SD card concerns ("Page Cannot Be Found")

    Once they've been plugged into a car they couple with it and won't couple to a different car. Like a Netflix movie, once they've been opened, they expire.

    New CX-5 GT. Install Amazon NAV SD card concerns ("Page Cannot Be Found")

    Nah, they expire once they've been used. I bought one for our new Miata off of eBay and it worked great. Hopefully the Amazon seller will make this right because it seems like the OP got a dud. Here's the seller I bought mine from. I paid 30 bucks: https://www.ebay.com/usr/car_navi_shop

    Off Topic What are ya listening to?

    Agreed about the Beatles. I didn't like them much when I was a kid, but they seem to get better over the years. Lol, they really changed when the weed kicked in, didn't they? For the better! An Opihi is a big (maybe silver dollar-sized) barnacle that grows on the lava sea cliffs on the big...

    FB Marketplace SD Nav Card

    I just bought a 30 dollar NAV card off of eBay and plugged into our new Miata. It loaded up perfectly and saved me 300 bucks. Ebay may be safer than Fakebook because of the feedback system. One thing I know for sure is they only work once. So if it's already been coupled to a car, it's dead...
