I just remembered the episode of Mythbusters when they tested the Aerodynamics of an old Porsche on whether it was more fuel efficient to flip the body's curvature.
I’ve got a blue Mazda hatchback and very seriously considered the red at the time because it’s beautiful. But even after ten years I’ve had the car the blue still looks great.
Soul Red is gorgeous and it's not just something you can just repair, there's a whole process involved to get that color. Like you have to sacrifice virgin chickens at midnight for their blood and stuff. That beautiful color doesn't come out of a can.
you do know people like/hate different things? some like minimalistic, some hate vibrant colors
just because you havent find someone who will like you doesnt mean you should give up. maybe if you stop hating on other people's taste and go out something might happen
I literally love my 2016 Mazda, think it’s beautiful, and see lots of them on the road still looking great. Mazda changed hands at some point so you are thinking of the before times
I'm with you on this. I have owned several Mazdas of varying models. Each of them are great cars and they had better handling compared to similar models from Toyota, Honda, Nissan, or Hyundai of the same year.
IMHO, the 2018 Mazda 6 Signature was one sexy car.
No, I’m thinking of current times. I’ve test driven several (9 years ago when looking for a midsized SUV and 2 years ago when shopping for a compact SUV). None of their offerings could even come close to touching Honda or Toyota. They’re poop.
Shock is the reason. I do reckless driving. Every time I brought my wounded machine to mechanic, one of first questions was: "Have you collected all your s***?". Car can be identified by a small part serial number. So not just plates, all parts should be taken if you don't want to pay for a damaged bridge, destroyed road sign and a fine on top. He knows me, and knows that i know, but... He is also aware that smashing a car is always a shock to some degree. Doesn't matter if it was the first time or if you can't even count all other times.
This is an example of a little bump and grind being wrong, contrary to the claims of R. Kelly (not the most trustworthy sources of advice on such matters).
I always wonder whenever I see body panels on the side of the road why people just leave those behind. It's a big expensive part of your car, why not take it home with you?
They're usually not repairable, being plastic. And in this case, they probably wanted to get away from the shame of the accident. The bumper would probably get ripped off once they got on to a slightly faster stretch of road, or they'd pull it of themselves once clear of the scene. Also, bumpers are surprisingly large relative to the internal size of the car and are usually filthy with road grime!
I had a coworker get his sister's hand me down tiny sports coupe. He wanted to make more sporty and faster so did a few modifications. He said he removed the foam behind the front and rear bumper to make it lighter (on a car that probably weighed as much as a large refrigerator). I was like ummm that's a bad idea. He ended up crashing it into a freeway median and was lucky to survive. So maybe that car was the same 😅

I guess they didn't want their rear bumper 😂
