1983 Mazda B2200 Sundowner Base Standard Cab Pickup 2-door 2.2l on 2040-cars
Modesto, California, United States
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

Question of the Day: What's the most irritating car name?
Wed, Mar 9 2016You hear a lot about how the Chevrolet Nova was a sales flop in Mexico because "No va" means "it doesn't go" in Spanish; in fact, the Nova sold pretty well south of the border, and in any case most Spanish-speakers know that "Nova" means "new" in Latin and Portuguese. However, General Motors doesn't deserve to be let off the hook for bad car names, because the Oldsmobile Achieva— no doubt inspired by the excruciating "coffee achievers" ads of the 1980s— scrapes the biggest fingernails down the screechiest chalkboard in the US-market car-name world. That is, unless you think Daihatsu's incomprehensible choice of Charade was worse. Meanwhile, Japanese car buyers could get machines with cool names like Mazda Bongo Friendee or Honda Life Dunk. It's just not fair! So, what car name drives you the craziest? Related Video: Auto News Design/Style Chevrolet Honda Mazda Daihatsu Automotive History questions car names
Mazda Hazumi Concept previews next Mazda2 in Geneva [w/videos]
Tue, 04 Mar 2014The official photos of Mazda's Hazumi concept leaked out yesterday, but we have finally gotten to see it in real life at the Geneva Motor Show. Our view is that its Kodo lines looks as good on the diminutive car's sheet metal as they did in photos.
The Hazumi was designed to appear to be bursting with energy, and it seems to deliver. While Mazda refuses to actually say that this is the concept for the next Mazda2, it makes it clear that the little hatchback is "foreshadowing Mazda's next-generation subcompact car." We can all read between the lines.
Hazumi also introduces the new Skyactiv-D 1.5-liter diesel engine but details about it are scant at the moment. The specs for the engine are still unannounced, but the company promises that it is both very efficient and has lots of torque for its size. Mazda is also promising that its Mazda Connect infotainment system will be available in the car too. Scroll down for the brief press release a brace of videos that celebrate the tiny concept's arrival.
Mazda engineers urging execs for more RWD models
Wed, 02 Oct 2013According to Edmunds, Mazda engineers are pressuring the company to create more rear-wheel-drive models, in an effort to better differentiate itself from its rivals. This push is reportedly coming from middle and senior engineers within the company, and these folks at Mazda believe this rear-drive strategy would allow the automaker to produce more distinctive, fun to drive cars. Mazda discontinued the rear-drive (and rotary-engined) RX-8 a few years ago, leaving the MX-5 Miata as the company's only RWD offering.
As enthusiasts, we're fully on board with Mazda offering more rear-drive cars, but unsurprisingly, the company's top management isn't exactly keen on the idea - and with good reason. First and foremost, the cost associated with redesigning fresh architecture for new models would be very high, and considering the fact that Mazda hasn't exactly been raking in the dough lately, an expensive new venture like this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. What's more, Mazda's latest front-drive models - the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 - have been very well-received, and are helping the company gain sales momentum.
But that doesn't mean there aren't other options. Edmunds reminds us that Mazda is already partnering with Alfa Romeo on the next-generation Miata, and if this collaboration is successful, perhaps the relationship could bear additional fruit. After all, Alfa Romeo is said to be working on returning to its rear-wheel-drive roots, so Mazda's engineers might be able to make a case for more RWD goodness after all.
