    Where is Humanity headed?

    I'd like to see some perspectives on this topic. We went though a war, then a financial crisis, and now we face a global conflict with China and possibly Russia(Some say Russia is more dangerous), because of tense relations and geopolitical hurdles. There are also other facets of problems, such...

    Fake eBay clone site - iPhone

    I'm not sure what to think of this sale. The listing states that the devices and New. The seller has perfect feedback of over 5000, but I don't see any feedback for these iPhone, which apparently almost 300 have been sold. What do you all think. A 7+ 128Gig for $550 is just crazy. The listing is...

    Is AWD in racing really worthwhile?

    I've been wondering about the upcoming super compacts. The Gold R, Focus RS, STi. I keep hearing AWD sucks if you have a typical VTEC Honda, because you can just pull by. Honda seems to be stepping away from the ultra high revving K series, F Series and the NSX C30/32. Is AWD really worthwhile?

    Mazda should scrap any Rotary and focus on Furai

    I know this car was a concept that caught on fire, and to this day the chard remains are of unknown location. Mazda had a Rotary hybrid possibly in the works, but I'm not sure how that would work out. Doesn't the Rotary need to rev out fully for health reasons? Do they plan to use 0w20. This...

    What to do with a sluggish economy.

    I'd like to know what some of you think about the ailing economy; sure it's gotten somewhat better, but people are very frugal now. I'm not sure what would happen if the market crashed again, because we have exhausted everything in our arsenal to slow/stop a downturn. Should the economy...

    Experiences with Rice derived Alcohol

    So a friend and myself went to a Korean supermarket in Virginia to shop, but to experiment with Sake and Soju; the first being Japanese and the latter being Korean. We both got unbelievably sick the next day. The hangover was nothing like wine or Vodka/Gin. Ive also wondered why rice liquor is...

    I've become a victim of Spot Delivery Scam.

    My Story.... On 12/29/2015 I went to a Honda dealership to purchase a 2016 Accord. The sales manager pulled my credit which was 574, but due to my good standing with Honda Financial, they were supposedly able to get me approved with 2k down at 10%. I drove off the lot that evening in a new...

    Is Toyota going to buy Mazda

    It seems as though Mazda is great in sales, now that it's away from Ford, but with all the other competeting brands, it's struggling. I have known about the Mazda Toyota alliance since the announcement of the Mazda2 being a Scion iA. Then there's rumors of a FR-S based off of the Miata.

    Why are people Pretentious?

    I came across a few women that were gossipy and kept talking about pretentious things, like one got her oil change at a Mercedes dealer.... She went on and on about the MB dealership and how she only gets her oil changed at a MB dealership. Why do some people have to pretend that they're...

    Is Subaru now an after thought company?

    As the title states. I'm beginning to wonder if Subaru is an after thought company because of all of its horrific mechanical issues since joining forces with Toyota. The FB20 and FB25 still have oil consumption issues that are far worse than a Rotary engine. The DECADES old EJ series or motors...

    Long Term Hotel Stays

    Have a sister that needs to find a new roommate because her lease is up. I think she may stay at an Extended Stay America or Hyatt house, Candlewood Suites is another. I can't seem to find pricing for long term stays on the web sites. I guess you'd need to call the hotel or go in person. Is this...

    Is the BRZ/FR-S FA20 a weak motor

    Hi everyone, I am in the midst of trading in my 2014 Mazda 3 because of the factory welds rusting and because it is currently in the shop being dismantled for carbon related buildup. I so hopped for Mazda to be innovative with its SkyActiv Petrol engines, but they are Junk. The outgoing MZR...

    Subaru's New FB and FA motors

    I'd like to get some feedback on these motors because the new WRX and Forrester XT are full of problems. My take on Subaru is that when Toyota came in, they saw Subaru as a company that utilized DECADES old engines, which was fine because they worked, but I have a feeling Toyota gave Subaru a...

    Mazda and its rust issues

    I have a 2014 Mazda 3, while the engine and transmission are excellent, the factory welds are rusting. I'm ready to junk this car and move onto something with better quality such as a Subaru, Honda, or Toyota. It's a shame that Mazda can't get with it after divorcing Ford. The engine and...

    Reason to stay away from Subaru

    I formerly owned a 2009 Impreza that started to leak oil at 42k miles. It was a piece of junk. I was very optimistic about the all new re designed Subaru engines but the complexity just makes me want to run FAR away for reliability reasons. It seems Subaru can't get it's engines to not leak oil...

    The Dark Side of Mazda and Subaru

    As the title states... I'd like to get some thoughts of Mazda and Subaru. Both of these companies participated in WWIII; however Subaru was formally Nakajima Aircraft which made aircraft for WWII. Please correct me if I'm wrong.... Something makes me what to think Mitsubishi was part of WWII. I...
