There is a 99% chance your car will be fine.
But we rockamend you get this new oil that will reduce mileage & void the manufacturer warranty.

I go through phases of reading car reviews and watching YouTube videos. Although I bought a new car earlier this year, I'm already looking to see what my next car will be in a few years from now.
I'm happy with the size and performance of my Mazda M3 as it's got a 2.5 liter engine. The three previous cars were 2.0, 1.6 and 1.2 dating back 20 years, so this Mazda is a poor man's performance vehicle!
I was explaining to a friend, it's actually changed my personality as I can now pass a car on a 2-lane road and not worry about lag in acceleration.

Listening to a few YouTube videos about my model, some reviews were about the turbo engine that's available on the more expensive cars. I test drove a turbo on a Hyundai and didn't like the delay driving in the city. The salesman stated it 'kicks in' nicely at highway speeds. Thanks, but not interested was my response.

While listening to videos, many were talking about naturally aspirated models. WTF is that I said... I've been driving cars around 55 years and had to look up naturally aspirated.
Oh, I get it. A naturally aspirated engine is one that's non-turbo. Well duh! I suppose all engines were naturally... naturally aspirated prior to the invention of superchargers and turbo power boosters.

CS has presented me with a man who can hold a conversation.
I don’t even remember who wrote who first.

The safe zone or the danger zone or
The pleasure zone
Tasty words or photos...wet
The combination of the two, delightful

The safety of distance decreases resistance
Making absence a wireless aphrodisiac, while a laptop mimics oysters and pearls

The forced abstinence of contact makes faithfulness fruitless
As committed hours are limited by busy schedules and selective log offs
No greater fantasy than online love

The most INSANE traffic EVER! This video was shot entirely in Hanoi, Vietnam. You think traffic is bad in your city?

UK specific. Only affects right hand drive models. In Ireland it's the Opel Zafira.
The Vauxhall Zafira B (2005-2014) has a fault which can potentially turn the car into a fireball. Despite being featured on Watchdog and ITN news, there are people who are still unaware of the problem. If you, or someone you know has one of these models, you need to book it into a Vauxhall garage for inspection. If you can just help spread the word around, that would be a big help. Thanks.

never heard of it until i worked with 20 somethings. now i can identify salesmen by hair and shoes. lol
my little brothers

i remember being a small child at Shakey's Pizza riding a mechanical horse. this customer, who looked like a gangster, dumped a bunch of change in the ride but it only delivered the usual. the gangster was ripped off. i still remember his smile.
i would've sat on his lap

My car is equipped with a keyless entry system. To make it work, I have to have the keyfob remote entry transmitter with me. I approach my locked car, put my hand in the door handle and it unlocks the car. It's programmable that only the driver's door unlocks or I can specify the other doors also unlock.
This keyfob is 4 times larger than the one on my previous vehicle, probably because it has more technology packed inside. If I want to leave the car running and run into the store for something... forgetaboutit, the car begins to beep letting me know that the keyfob is out of range. Actually, it beeps if I step out to open the hatchback. That feature is on my list of annoying safety features.
I always keep my keys with me as I learned from a coworker's trouble many years ago. He had a habit of leaving his keys everywhere but his pocket. Assigned to a project where he could leave his tools overnight. The keys were on the top of his rolling toolbox. He and his helper were the last out of the building that evening. The door locked behind them and no way of reentry. Realizing the keys were inside, he panicked. They had to go to a pay phone to call me and I was lucky enough to get security to unlock the building for him to retrieve his keys.
I'm not liking the lump as all my keys are on it, but I haven't figured an alternate way around it.

Heaving and out of breath from strenuous activities
I giggle and marvel at the person next to me

Out of breath from holding oxygen hostage while I did all that was asked
I giggled and marvel at answered prayers

I’m building stamina and a tolerance for surprise visits
I’m aware he is turning a mouse into a cat, respecting and encouraging my nature, blissfully
