I am totally with you on this.
That's odd! I'd look at hybrids, but I drive so few miles (about 7,500 a year) that the price tag difference just doesn't make sense for me.
Yup. They are roughly the same size as the CX-5/50. I may end up driving one (and/or a CRV) once I'm out on the lot, but the Mazda is the front-runner for sure.
You can probably drive it for another 107K! Mine is a 2012 Nissan Juke with 107K as well but it needs some general upkeep work that I don't really want to spend, and I figure a 'new' car every 13-14 years is pretty good. Ha.
A buddy of mine got a new RAV4 and he loves it.
I don't have any intel on that, but I've always loved how smartly their cabins were designed. Their vehicles always 'feel' nicer than the pricetag.

I will be doing some test driving soon so will report back!
For real! Also, ever since my second vehicle in 1995 I've only had manual transmissions. I love them, but I'm now 50 and that fun has worn off (especially mainly driving just around town). Glad to be getting my first automatic since my 1985 Chevy Cavalier.
I am going car shopping soon and looking for something 1-2 years old in the $25K range, very likely a Mazda CX-50 or CX-5. I think I spent $17K on my current car (bought a year old in 2013). Looking forward to all the new technologies!
I mean, GOP! Senate ads for both Andy Barr and Nate Morris in KY are branding each other 'woke' so, yeah. It's lost its meaning, if it ever had one.

We have a little on in our office. Our photographer uses it all the time!
It’s spooky szn. And that means it’s video time again. This one from Houston legends. Geto Boys. One of the finest songs ever recorded. youtu.be/IJtHdkyo0hc?...

Ahh. Well I’ll be there the whole time! lol.

You know what I’m not exactly sure about lunch, but the food is generally pretty good at KICC for lunch. There is normally a salad and then chicken dish and the desserts are usually tasty.
See you at Fast 50 I assume? BTW, the actual lunch starts at 11:45 if that helps.
I can promise that no matter how old I get I will never get up at 5 am unless absolutely mandatory.
It’s spooky szn and here’s a creepy video from NYC’s A Place To Bury Strangers. Awesome videography in this one, ‘My Head is Bleeding.’ youtu.be/lyXTeOt2Qx8?...

Ha. I totally understand. Thank ya.
Anyone had good/bad experience buying a car from Honda World (East End) or Huffman Mazda (South End) in recent years? It's car shopping time and those 2 places have some vehicles I'm interested in.
In the last five minutes all this talk led me to order Taco Bell. … including a CC burrito.

And since we’re on the topic to me, they’re mild sauce is the best. I don’t mind heat, but it’s the flavor of that stuff.
