Flying Fortress posted:For what it's worth, I'd be interested in a toy car/Hotwheels thread. Seconded. A few months back, before I knew what sex my kid would be, I was killing time looking on eBay and other places searching for sets of Yat Mings like the ones I had as a kid. I think I actually prefer those to Hot Wheels.

Seat Safety Switch posted:My buddy's little girl has way more Hot Wheels than his little boy does. Better driver so far too, it seems. Yeah, I decided that I don't care about it anyway. My daughter can play with cars all she wants. Now I just have to find them. And my pitifully small Micro Machines collection.

lazer_chicken posted:When someone steals your ITR or Civic Si they are not planning on tracking it and enjoying the perfectly neutral handling, they are planning on ripping the B16 out and selling it to some kind with a clapped-out D15 civic with TEZZAS and a fartcan. That's exactly what happened to my '99 Si a few years back. There was an auto theft ring going for a while in NE Ohio, their MO being that they steal Civics from the mid-to-late '90s. Mine was stolen on Veteran's Day from a staff parking lot at Kent State. It was the third break-in on that car too. My car's So it goes.

IOwnCalculus posted:The Mazda3 (in fact, most Mazdas these days?) is permanently lit - brightly in the day, and it's supposed to dim at night. One would think that getting near blinded by your gauge cluster at night would be an indicator that your lights aren't on, but who knows. It doesn't dim automatically at night, there is a switch you need to press at the top of the cluster to do it manually, and when the headlights are off, there are four levels of dimming. At least that's how it is on the first generation Mazda3, far as I know (I drive an '04). Dunno about current models.

I like it, mostly; while the back end is kinda busy, it doesn't bother me too much. I just hate that vent in the front. It just looks cheap and so AutoZone.

MrChips posted:^^^I don't know what you're talking about, that's pretty awesome and I'll hear nothing more of it. Those tires, if I remember correctly, only came on the top-end trim level. That said, if the donor wheels came from a 5 Series, then I'd say you're spot-on with the rationale.

But the convertibles only had two doors, didn't they?PainterofCrap posted:It has. That's from the Wildwood boardwalk show, where, in 2010, was squatting this abomination: Oh god, my eyes. I need new retinas and about six years of psychotherapy. Spongebob Tampax posted:Remember when they first came out? Dealers were marking them $2-5k over msrp, people were practically lined up outside of chrysler dealers to waste their money. That was '99 though, and they hadn't completely destroyed their reputation at the time. When I first met her in 2000, my wife wanted one so drat bad. Then, in 2002, her sister bought one (using my wife's SS# to secure the loan, by the way). After riding in it her opinion did a quick 180.

davebo posted:Reminds me of a lower trim Civic I saw years ago with the Si wheels and spoiler that had the tag WANABSI. It's cute. Ugh, in 2002, I saw a lower trim (an LX, I think) with aftermarket wheels and an Si badge. Thing is, the car was green (Sis only came in red, blue or black at the time), the badge wasn't even an Si badge, but something resembling the other trim badges, it was a sedan (eighth generation was the first to do that), and -- this being the hardest slap in the face -- it was an automatic. Not loving cute.

It was pretty dumb, but yeah, I s'pose you're right. Sorry guys. It was a guy I knew back in the day, a real bro type, talked a lot of game about his car and a bike that I don't believe he actually had. I forgot to mention that the Civic had an aftermarket tach. With a shift light.

Just thought I'd drop this FunFact off here: Fahrenheit is a temperature scale based on the freezing point of -- drum roll please -- brine. This alone makes me a little peeved about still having to use the old system. Oh well.

And wasn't it kind of a Mustang thing back then too? It's just more retro stuff. I guess I'm in the minority then, thinking that the Fusion is a fine looking car. I prefer the Mazda 6, but the Fusion is pretty close behind.
