Minimal except for very rare exceptions of poorly designed models, and not minimal, respectively. Insanely irresponsible. It's also possible but unlikely that they had a holster that sits entirely below the waistband and wasn't visible, but gently caress them either way.

If I made the rules, car on = headlights, tail lamps, and markers on. You have to go out of your way to turn them off.
I'd be fine with outlawing DRLs. If any front lights are on, tail lamps and markers are also on. My CX-30 makes it very difficult to turn off the headlights and I've never caught the DRLs on without the tail lamps also on, so that's a start.

Lol that wing is neat in an ironic spaceship sort of way, but it doesn't even line up with the body panel gaps so I'm assuming it's mounted wrong somehow

I still remember pulling the fenderliner on my E36 and digging out 10 pounds of the highest quality soil I have ever seen. It must have been composting itself for years behind there, its own perfect little ecosystem of rainwater and wet leaves, refreshed, shaken, aerated and warmed up every day.
:lol: Same deal with my Hawkeye WRX. Should've kept the soil but it was probably full of salt too. First picture is after I had already gotten most of it out and started seeing the horror underneath.



On a similar note, I parked my old Ranger under a tree for a semester and came back to this:

I thought that's why floor jacks have removable handles.
Except when you leave the jack in place as a secondary safety under the car and remove the handle and the socket immediately returns to vertical and goddammit

dont take off the whole handle, just the outer-half extension

at least then you have something to hold onto so you dont have to rescue your first jack with another one
Yep, if my jack had a two-piece handle that's exactly what I would've done in this hypothetical scenario that definitely didn't happen

Continuing the hypothetical, it wouldn't take too much thinking to realize the jack release is just a square drive inside the socket, but anger blinds

Altho given the Mazda is a I6 turbo RWD and waaaaay cheaper, there's potential there for a interesting sleeper if the aftermarket gets hold of it.

How the hell do you get the lugnuts off your wheels??? Without an impact wrench if you try and break the lugs loose with the tires in the air you just spin the wheel on the axel?
Depends on whether that wheel is driven or a parking brake is set and the car is in gear/park

my car's parking brake only locks the rear wheels, which is kind of annoying when I swap the summer/winter tires out and I get to the fronts. Not world ending or anything, just drop the car slightly so it's touching enough to stop wheel spin, but still annoying compared to the rears.
Right yeah, sorry, I'm not aware of any cars where the parking brake locks all the wheels but I'm sure someone here can correct me on that. If the fronts are driven then you're still good if it's in gear.

... and now I'm remembering I should probably swap the summers back on (to my car that I've driven less than 1,000mi in the last year). :smithicide:

:lol: there's a Mazda dealership near Pittsburgh that had an extremely similar vibe. They were the only ones who could get the color we wanted, and the vehicle itself has been great, but buying from them was a terrible experience including a prolonged battle to get them to remove Kahu.

What everyone else said. It's marketed as a theft retrieval device, usually comes with a tacked-on charge (which they admittedly didn't fight us on waiving while we were pushing for complete removal) and is often installed poorly/dangerously by tapping into the existing wiring. In some cases it can cause a parasitic draw that will leave you stranded. In our case we got very lucky and it was "just" an OBD-II passthrough connector.

At first they absolutely refused to sell us the car without Kahu, stating that it was part of their contract with the supplier or whatever. After we threatened to walk they quickly folded. We watched them remove it and won't be going back to that dealer.
