    Hey GM, FWIW I have two friends who own Mazda 3's and both of them love their cars.

    hmmm...I think I'm in the wrong decade. For the past 6 mos. or so I've been obsessed with American muscle cars.

    Anybody know where I can find an '03 or '04 Mercury Marauder?

    I bought a Mazda MX3-GS back in 92. Sold it in 99 with 196K miles on it. Still ran like the day I picked it up. Never had a lick of trouble with it. Can't complain about that.

    How 'bout a 2000 Firebird Formula @ 320 HP? True dual exhaust, 3K stall T/Q, 3.73 rear gears? 75K miles?

    500 hp '08 Shelby GT500
    420 hp '08 Dodge Challenger SRT
    400 hp '09 Chevy Camaro

    I dunno Dean, appears to me you're in exactly the right decade!

    I'm a Ford guy, but even I will admit the Marauder was a weak swipe at the Impala SS. If you want used 4 door muscle, gotta go with the car with the Corvette motor under the hood. How 'bout a Buick GNX from the '80's? :ihih:

    Rich is counting the hatch and the hood as "doors," Mike. Don't mind him, he's been hitting the Shiner a bit hard these days.

    I was just feelin' a little uncomfortable with all the "green" talk is all, and it's not very fun at the pump these days.

    yeah, those vehicles have piqued my obsession. I'm holding out for the white "Vanishing Point" edition Challenger that should come out around 2010 for the 40th anniversary of the movie.

    I'll have to dig a little deeper into the Marauder. I remember seeing a new one on the lot back when we were looking at "family" vehicles and thinking "what is that beast?"

    The Nissan Juke https://nissan-vidi.com.ua/ru/models/crossover/juke/ has such a unique, bold design! It stands out from other cars on the road, and I love that. It’s compact enough for easy city driving, but it feels solid and safe. The fuel efficiency is a big plus for me, and the interior is surprisingly roomy and comfortable. I also appreciate the tech features, especially for the price. This is definitely a fun, stylish car that has personality and practicality all in one.

    I have a Porsche Cayenne. My vehicle is a fantastic , but I wanted to take its performance to the next level. That’s why I chose FOX auto parts https://www.suspensionlifts.com/brand/fox/ for an upgrade. I purchased them from Online Auto Parts Store Suspension Lifts at a great price and couldn’t be happier. The improved suspension and ride quality make every drive smoother and more enjoyable. Whether on highways or rougher roads, my Cayenne now handles even better.

    Learning how to reverse safely is a skill I didn’t realize I was missing. I found a super helpful article about it on the mgprestigecar.fr website, and now I navigate parking lots with ease. They also offer side-by-side comparisons of car models, which helped me decide on my next vehicle. It’s definitely a go-to site for practical driving advice and research.
