    Manual Key

    Will the small metal key alone let you drive the vehicle? I don't see how you could do that, unless there is a secret start code you could punch in. My concern is losing the wireless key fob while hiking, and being stranded at a remote trailhead in the outback somewhere. A metal key could...

    Mazda's 1'st Electric Vehicle - Looks like a CX-5

    Nuclear is not needed as PV can supply all fossil-fuel based electricity demand in the US. https://www.freeingenergy.com/how-much-solar-would-it-take-to-power-the-u-s/ The French did their nuclear correctly - one good design and replicated, rather than a large number of designs scattered all...

    Removing Bug Guts & cleaning your dash / leather trim

    Try washing the bugs first. The next step would be a purpose designed bug remover - Sonax is a higher end brand, used by luxury car owners (which may or may not mean it is better). It is not expensive so I bought some. For leather, the same luxo-people tend to favor Harleys or Leatherique...

    Mazda's 1'st Electric Vehicle - Looks like a CX-5

    Let me counter some mis-information on this very digressive thread. Even if EVs were to rely on pure coal-based electricity, they still pollute less than a fossil-fueled car. As coal (and even Ngas) fade the EVs look cleaner and cleaner. PV panels do not take a large land mass when compared...

    Big brakes on Mazda CX-5?
