Instead we got the boring Z5 in the Protege and the ~meh~ Zetec in the Escorts. It's like Mazda hated the best four cylinder they ever made, at least they kept it in the Miata for awhile.

blk posted:Taxes are confusing as hell. My wife and I grossed about 15k more in 2014 than 2013. In 2013 we got $1k back. This year we owe $5k. That difference is almost half the gross change. I ran through both Taxact and TurboTax to make sure it wasn't missing anything. WTF? Well you need to look at your w2 deductions for FICA and compare '13 to '14. A lot of people forget to adjust their withholdings once they start earning more money, and this can lead to a shock if some of your earnings creep into a higher bracket.

Tide posted:That 15K bumped you up to another tax bracket. On the additional money. Remember this. A LOT of people get confused and think this means that all of your money is taxed at a higher rate, which it isn't. The additional money that falls over the bracket limit is, and people sometimes forget to increase their deduction on each paycheck to compensate, which is why you end up with higher owed amounts. Your W2 (or 1099, or that funny contractor one) can be changed at any time. Also, going up in money sometimes eliminates specific tax breaks designed for the lower bracket.

leica posted:It's like Mazda hated the best ftfy (sorry KLZE) The Z5 has one interesting trait though. It's externally and head-gasket identical to a short B motor (B1-B6) but has a much lighter rotating assembly, so it's been used in conjunction with a B6T head to make some fairly interesting budget race engines. e: wasn't the ZX2 a BH? The 90-96 Escort was BG. Or did they put Ford the Kia situation, where they were limited to last-gen platforms? Turbo Fondant fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Feb 9, 2015 |

Those of you talking about small light fun to drive cars check this out - http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1980-ford-fiesta-ghia/ 1980 Ford Fiesta with a built up engine in the neighborhood of 150hp. Looks like it would be a pretty fun little car to toss around. Geirskogul posted:Your W2 (or 1099, or that funny contractor one) can be changed at any time.

I just leave it at max for myself because earnings can vary through out the year. I only end up getting around 600 or so back. I figure thats 50 bucks a month I am not earning interest on, but with interest rates so low, its a pretty big wash.

Fo3 posted:I had a 2004 ranger once, because we don't have chev or f series trucks in Australia. If I was in the USA I'd really want a c10 instead though. C10s are cool but prices on them here (at least in texas) are skyrocketing. Especially the shortbeds. You can usually score a ranger or f150 in much better shape for less money.

Was the WH the first of the 5.7s? I know the early ones had bad oil consumption problems. Cat terrist has a stato, but it may be an older 5.0. But I guess for LSx issues you've come to the right forum.

Now I'm bashing away at a keyboard and it's now 4AM.

Fo3 posted:I don't even work but I have more than that. I've done that many a time. I'll just go take a lie down and wake up hours and hours later in the middle of the night with no reasonable chance of getting back to sleep. I kinda just hope the sleep that I had balances out the weird time I'm awake. One thing I've noticed though if I'm up around 4-5 that seems to be the time my stomach does the most stuff so I end up feeling fairly horrible if I do.
