NPR ‘Car Talk’ host Tom Magliozzi dies at 77 | syracuse.com.
Aw, man. RIP. CarTalk was one of my gateway drugs for NPR.
ps, his obituary is also a delightful read.
Can’t unsee….
Caught a review of this on Top Gear the other night.
PS – be sure to check out the comments for more silliness.
Why yes, you can pay off my old lease 2 months early and give me a way nicer model for the same monthly payment.
2014 Mazda6 Touring
Hello to my new, far less boring ride.
Highlights:
Well, it used to be secret. 5 mile straightaway, whoa!
For the last week, I’ve been rolling out in a 2013 Mazda3 hatch, while my regular ride (’11 Mazda6) gets some body work sorted out at the dealer. I test drove a Mazda3 before I got my Mazda6 and found it pretty plain, boring and slow.
But, the Mazda3 I’ve got as a loaner is far nicer. I suspect that the difference is all in the trim. I think I drove the low spec version for the test drive. The loaner is a high spec, maybe top of the line. Creature comfort-wise, its got heated leather seats, and sunroof. But what really sets it apart is the high technology. I normally, wouldn’t pay for the super high end toys, but after this extended test drive I think I might.
Here’s my favorite toys:
There were a small things that I found a little troublesome:
The first two detractors probably put a damper on considering a Mazda3 for my next wheels after the Mazda6 lease is up. But, I’m really enjoying while I’ve got it.
Add a body kit, some choice accessories, and blam, super car!
Interesting, I didn’t know the Ferrari in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was a fake.
I’m not sure why, but some of the most exotic cars I’ve seen in person, are at my local grocery store. Today, it was a Maserati Ghibli.
The configurator on the site doesn’t include pricing information. So, if you have to ask, you’ll probably never have one.
Actually, after a little googling, I found this is their new, entry level model, starting at $65,000. Oh, it shares a lot of guts with the Chrysler 300 and Dodge charger. Ah, nevermind.
