So in the space of about four days we sold my sister's old 2009 Mazda3 neo auto and picked up this ex-corporate 2014-but-MY2015 Mazda2 Maxx 6MT.





6 speed manual, 106 horsepower 1.5L skyactiv motor with stop-start.

stop-start is cooooool.

Sold the 3 for $14k and paid $15700 for this 2, it only has 3800km on it.

It's pretty nice, actually. Drives quite well, steering feedback and response is good, motor is nice and revvy (though too quiet, even Maddy (sister) thinks it needs an exhaust :getin:)

Only complaint is that the clutch is a bit floaty and has a fairly undefined friction point, but I'm sure it's something you'd get used to if you DD'd it.

I wouldn't hate DDing one of these. Which is a big step up over the soul-sucking autotragic in the old base-model 3;



Sold it the day after we put it up :v:

Stop-start with a sporty exhaust will probably sound funny, insofar as it will suddenly brap to life. How does the AC work with stop-start? Are they using the hybrid-style electric compressors?

Hey guys, the 47th annual world's largest radio trivia contest is coming up in April. There's a large goon team (Trivial Fursuit) and in the past three years, we've broken into the top ten - something that many teams playing for decades have failed to do. The thread is stickied in GBS.

All goons are welcome and you'll probably have a blast regardless, but the team is particularly needful of AI expertise. Especially where classic cars, and advertising for classic cars, is concerned. Check out the thread for all the details. We also need a handful of goons willing to actually travel to Stevens Point, Wisconsin for the on-the-ground team: the folks who dial in our answers, and go do the physical tour that is worth a bucket of points. There's already a room reserved for our team, which is good because every available room in the town books months in advance.

The contest runs 24/7 beginning on Friday April 15th, and ending late in the evening Sunday April 17th. Goons around the world are welcome and especially useful for manning the graveyard shift, which is a time when a lot of other teams drop off so large points totals are available.

A choice well made. I haven't gone full bald, but I did switch to a buzz cut about 4 years ago as my hairline kept moving rearward, and I have never once regretted it. Hair care is so easy now, never have to carry a comb around, just wash, dry, and go.

I've gone 2mm since early twenties and it rocks. No worries about hairstyle, bottle of shampoo lasts forever, no bed head/hat head, drying it takes five seconds. I've also saved like 3000 bucks on haircuts.

I bought a $30 trimmer a couple of years ago, and I've been rocking the as-short-as-possible buzzcut since then.

A couple of weeks I decided to just go full-bore and shave it instead. It only takes a couple of minutes, and I like it more than the buzzcut. Shaving my head every 2-3 days also provides an excuse to shave the edges of my beard at the same time.

If you have the AC on, the engine won't stop. It still uses a mechanical compressor.

IIRC the Mazda6 and top-end Mazda3 with i-eloop have an electric compressor, but I'm not sure on that.

Yeah, our notes start out a certain length and then get ~8mm longer as they go up in value so that blind people can easily tell which note is which :3: they also have little raised portions in the clear windows that spell out their value so blind people can feel the numbers.

Been doing the 2mm buzz for a couple years now, not sure why the hell I didn't do it sooner. No maintenance and most women seem to like it.

I've been close a few times but haven't gone full bald yet. Mostly because I'm lazy and shaving every other day is more work than buzzing every other week :effort:


What a lovely loving day. I've been out since Tuesday last week so I expected some stuff to be down but not nearly as much as there was. Spent all day running around trying to get things fixed only to run out of parts. Now I get to do round two on Monday when parts arrive along with whatever else fails by then. Then I can't order parts directly and have to go through our support. They get bitchy when I say things like "swapped 0<->2, 1<->4 - problem followed" but writing it all out longhand is apparently completely different. They also don't believe when I say all this hardware was broken by a software update and power cycle :fuckoff:

Pip-Pip old chap! Last one in is a rotten egg what what.

There's a bloke at work I only saw with a hard hat on for nearly three years. When I finally saw him without a hat I nearly died laughing, which was very rude of me, but he basically had a krusty the clown thing going on and it was quite unexpected.

I'm resisting cutting my hair short because I'm convinced after I do it it'll never grow to a decent pretty again, so basically I'm saving that for when I start to go bald.

Also I've tried pizzas with reggae reggae sauce, I'll have to try again with the cold rise dough and chicken, chili's, pepperoni peppers and mozzarella..

I work with a guy who's going typically male pattern baldness and doing the usual "let what little hair you have on top grow a little too long"

Which would be fine, except he seems to be doing the same thing with his eyebrows and I suspect that if he could, he would let them grow long and up until they reach the remaining hair on top.

I've got plenty of grey in my beard and some in my hair @ 46, but I've not had any problem with thinning or receding, thank God. I still keep it fairly short, but no buzzcut. I don't mind the grey. I've got enough of a baby face to pull it off, I think, and I'm married anyway. :D

At 30 my hair is as thick as a goddamned wheatfield, and drives me crazy because I have to get it cut constantly. In the summer it grows about as fast as my fingernails and gets even extra thicker and my head is hot constantly. I have a gigantic goddamned head (size: 8 1/4) and don't want to shave it all off because I would look like a freakish white watermelon. Thankfully my haircolor owns and if I spend any time at all outdoors it bleaches out and gives me these apparently fantastic highlights that girls love and I don't give a gently caress about. I cannot count the amount of times women have asked me where I "get my highlights done" hahaha. I'm always like, "well, typically on my lawn while mowing".
