Does anyone know for certain if there are any killer mod kits for the new Vibe GT? All I know is that from a roll (10 mph) to legal highway speeds (in this case 65), I barely inched out on this guy. I was WOT and I am no 18 year old who just got his license. Something was up on his car....

So I was driving down a four lane divided highway on Monday with a very large truck (almost as big as a Semi) about 30 yards in front of me. I was in the right lane, and he was in the left. About 15 yards away, he suddenly --- and I mean suddenly pulls his truck hard into the right lane. He...

All, I have tried to research this on my own with little success. I need a native (or several so I can get more than one opinion) speaker to set this straight for me. Thanks in advance. Here is the deal: My baby mama is 100% white, no Spanish speakers in her family at all. However, since...

As I am sure most of you are aware by now, in this near instantaneous information society that we live in, that President Obama killed a fly yesterday during an interview. Afterwards, PETA actually went on record saying that they were disappointed with him for doing so. Here is a quote: "We...

First, Read the article and check out the video if you haven't already: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/31202935/?GT1=43001 Then... post your opinion and add any comments you like. For me, it is relatively simple: Was she wrong? Yes. Did she deserve to get tased? Yes. Did the cop handle...

This kind of thing irks me when I hear it.... I was talking to a good friend of mine the other day and we got onto cars (guys do that). He was telling me about his slightly older VR6, and that if he "wanted too", he could just pick up a chip and drop it in and it adds 200 HP. I told him that...

... So I was driving to DC last night to go to the Nationals game. (Yes...I had free tickets, otherwise I wouldn't bother.) It was myself, my girlfriend, and two buddies. I was amazed at how sluggish the car felt when trying to accelerate or pass, but then I thought about it... I had an extra...

Hello everyone. I know there are several posts on black smoke from the exhaust, but I wanted to do a poll to get a different look at the data. I didn't see anything like this, so I hope you don't mind participating. Please be as honest as possible, and if you don't know... Say so.

...the new 2010 Camaro 2SS. I really like (but don't love) the look. 422 HP isn't anything to be upset about either... All for under 35K. Runner-ups: 135i (The most expensive one of the group....) Genesis Coupe (Nice, but a little slower than the MS3) 2010 MS3 (If it had a better /...

All, I am just starting to get the squeeling in my front brakes at 19,338 miles. I am wondering if this is typical for the MS3 to need new brakes this early. I am not hard on my brakes (I don't drive in a lot of start / stop traffic, and I also engine brake all the time.) Thoughts?

All, I have about 20K on my car and I experienced something new today. It was about 45 F outside, and as I started to drive away, my TPMS light came on. I stopped at a local gas station, got out my tire gauge and started checking around. The RR,LR, and RF were all 29-30 psi each. (Cold temp...

So I recently posted about a young lady who treated the inside of her car like a garbage can. I thought to be fair, I would bring this topic up. Personally, I clean the inside of my car (and by cleaning -- I mean dusting, wiping down the cloth / windows, vacuuming, etc.) about once a month...

...I just have to vent a little. I had a second date with a young lady the other day. She is young, very attractive, but when I got into her car, there was no place to sit! She doesn't work out of her car (like some salespeople), so I have no idea why she would have so much trash everywhere...

Good afternoon everyone, I have been thinking about this one for a little while, and I realized I can't do it without some help from at least a few of you. It has been my experience, that the trip computer MPG is never accurate. So, either something wrong with both of the MS3s I owned, or it...

Ok... yes... as a scientist I am having too much fun with this I know. But I am enjoying these discussions and polls, and isn't that what this forum is all about? Good discussions between proud Mazda owners? All right... here is the deal. Rate your car, and then give at least one thing you...

Good morning everyone, I decided to to a little experiment with my car and see how it really performed and what would happen when I ran 89 gas in it. To be perfectly fair, I didn't take it to a dyno, so I can't give exact numbers on the HP / Trq changes, but I will state my "butt dyno"...

You don't have to justify it if you don't want too... I am just curious what everyone thinks.

So I have been driving it since March 2007, and I have always been a fairly fast driver. Not aggressive per se, but certainly --- shall we say --- offensive. I don't use a radar detector (I hate them... I have got a speeding ticket every time I have ever used one.) because they don't work...

If it isn't one thing.... it certainly is another... So I decided to get gas last night because I have a concert (The Cure) to go to tonight in northern Virginia. I am standing there just watching my money evaporate at the $3.89 / gallon price when I looked to my left and saw a very hot, but...

All, I admit up front I am not and have not been a 0-60 or 1/4 mile racing type, so I am having trouble understanding something. I am hoping someone can help me out. Ok... So I constantly read that for the best 0-60 times, (1/4...whatever) you should turn off DSC. (Traction control.) Here...
