I feel it is my duty not only as an American but as a member of the North American Hunting Club to first warn anyone who is even thinking about considering to read this ad. THIS VEHICLE HAS THE TEMPERAMENT OF A RABID LION FRESH OFF OF THE AFRICAN SAVANNAH, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STAY IN THE KITCHEN IF YOU CANNOT HANDLE THE HEAT THIS VEHICLE IS PUTTIN’ DOWN

Well, now that we’ve got that out of the way, prepare yourself to be introduced to by far, the most awe-inspiring machine that god himself has ever graced green Earth with. A 1983 Mazda B2200 powered by the powerhouse Perkins 2.2L Diesel Engine. Yes, I did say diesel. How you ask? Ford. The 80s were a precarious time. So precarious in fact that Ford Motor Company based right here in the best country on Earth, the United States of America, decided to introduce a diesel engine in their line of small pickup trucks. Now being that Ford owns Mazda, A small amount of the diesel engine destined for the Ford Courier pickups made their way to the Mazda plant where an angel himself had the ingenuity to plop one of these bad-boy diesel engines into the mighty B2200 pickup. Now, the genius from Mazda who decided to put this diesel engine in knew that this thing would be laying down some serious manly power, and the only way to back up all that power would be to mate that bad-boy to a 5 speed manual transmission. Because real men drive with three pedals, and two hands. Another feature the Mazda angel decided to throw in was a long bed for hauling around all those heavy loads. Trust me, this diesel will haul a hefty load.

Since the birth of this Mazda B2200 pickup, the few chosen ones blessed with the privilege of piloting this beast have only traveled 130,000 miles meaning that this thing has only just begun to stretch its legs. By my estimates, it has roughly two million more miles to go before the engine is even broken in.

Now, let me break it down into a little list of why you need this truck

                Pros:

                It’s a diesel

                It’s a manual

                It has low miles

                OH YEAH I FORGOT TO MENTION IT GETS 40mpg (yes FOR-TEE miles per the US Gallon)

                It gets all of the girls

                Cons: (I don’t even think these can even really be considered cons)

                It has a couple battle scars

                It will need new tires here shortly because even heroes need new shoes

Also included with the purchase of this vehicle in the most custom and advanced security system  anyone has ever had the pleasure of feasting their eyes upon. It has what I like to call a break-action-dislocating-assisted-single-system or, BADASS, for short. Basically, what this system does is incorporate 2, yes 2, ignition switches. I know what you're thinking….THAT'S TOTALLY AWESOME! You’re assumption is correct. This double ignition system will prevent even a down on their luck doctor of electrical engineering from attempting to take off with your diesel rig.

The last few things worth mentioning are very important nonetheless. To reflect the most custom anti-theft device you have ever seen, it also had to have the most custom paint job you have even seen. 100% oil-based glass white paint catches anyone’s attention and will reflect a photon beam generated by the death star itself. This monster will also include the most beastly of rear bumpers ever imagined to protect your vehicle when you do get the chance to pilot this thing into battle

 

In Conclusion,

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata reveal livestream is here and now

Wed, 03 Sep 2014

Let's not understate the significance and difficulty of what's been accomplished here. In this ever-connected, constantly surveilled modern auto industry, Mazda has pulled a coup - it's kept a new vehicle under wraps. Yes, we've seen hacked up and camouflaged mules and maybe a form under a sheet, but Mazda is about to reveal its next-generation MX-5 Miata, and the car - let alone its specifications - hasn't been leaked anywhere yet. Not via clandestine camera phone snapshot, not by patent drawing, not by leaked ad copy, not even by diecast model. Believe us, we've looked.
And this isn't just some humdrum crossover or workaday compact, it's the Miata, the world's most popular roadster, apple of the enthusiast community's eye and seeming center of gravity for the Japanese automaker. For those who are genuinely excited about cars - about motoring - this is an impressive feat. If anything, Mazda's radio silence regarding the fourth-generation ND Miata has only served to heighten our anticipation for a model that probably won't reach showrooms for another year.
So, what's true and what's false among all the rumors? Will the already lightweight Miata really shed hundreds of pounds? What exactly will live under hood and drive those rear wheels?

World Car of the Year finalists announced

Fri, 07 Mar 2014

To say the 2014 Geneva Motor Show was packed full of news is an understatement as big as the show's home at the Palexpo convention center. Despite everything that we were able to cover during this year's show, there's still more coming out of Switzerland, including the announcement of the finalists for the 2014 World Car of the Year Awards.
We reported on the original list of finalists over three weeks ago, and now, that initial list has been pared down to three finalists for each of the five awards. The finalists were announced at a press conference by frequent Autoblog contributor and co-chair of the awards, Matt Davis (above).
The finalists for the overall title of 2014 World Car of the Year are the Audi A3, the BMW 4 Series and the Mazda3. The World Luxury Car of the Year will be either the Bentley Flying Spur, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, while the Performance Car of the Year will be awarded to the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the Ferrari 458 Speciale or the Porsche 911 GT3 (which, um, yeah...).

Mazda Miata 'fathers' Hall and Case offer a tour through the roadster's history

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

The original Mazda Miata broke onto the automotive scene in 1989 and was a huge success. However, the convertible's genesis goes all the way back to the early '80s. Bob Hall and Dean Case were among the inside men of the program on the US side, and they were on hand at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca during the recent MX-5 event there to tell some of their stories about the project's beginning.
Hall was on the Miata project from very early on, and one of his most fascinating stories is how the convertible got its shape. The droptop wasn't necessarily going to be a rear-wheel drive roadster. There were both front-wheel-drive coupe and mid-engine concepts being considered. In fact, the classic look of the NA generation was the least favorite of the three at the sketch stage.
Hall comes off as a jokester hiding a genius mind. He has a fountain of information in his head about what a Miata should be, but it all comes down to "less is more." However, he admits that it's easy to conceive that idea, but it's much harder to actually execute it well.
