Well I was heading up 55 north towards the city and this chicken fucker in this red WRX with the STi wing and hood pulls up next to me trying to race. I'm like ok so we take off form a 40 punch and I procede to hand him his ass all the way to about 130ish (I dont know for sure but I was pretty high an 4th) Well all of a sudden the steering wheel gets really stiff and the brakes were damn near gone. I was like WHOLLY SHIT WTF JUST HAPPEND!!!! I thought I blew the engine. I finally got the car over to the side of the road and sat there for a second. I opened the hood to see if anything was visably wrong and I couldnt see anything missing, wrong, or out of place. So I went back to the car and started it up. She kicked right over like nothing happend. It kinda freaked me out b/c I've never had anything like that happen to me before. The car ran fine the rest of the night. But definately some freaky shit.

Have you ever driven a new Mazda? They are effing slow. I hated the one I test drove a few months ago.

Otherwise, there is almost no comparing a domestic-built V8 Ford engine to a Korean-built V6 Hyundai engine based on Mitsubishi engines... again, other than the fact that they both ignite fuel. Oh, and maybe the whole MAF sensor? Otherwise, worlds of difference. |

Dammit, I'm trying to find a picture I saw once that would be very appropriate now, but I can't find it.
Anyways....it's a picture of 3 guys pushing a Mustang, and one guy up front steering, and the caption says "3 out of 4 owners stand behind their Ford"

Was just making sure people realized that they're worlds of difference. You never know who could be reading here and trying to take in information... |
