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,

Mixed sales results, but automaker stocks rise on need for cars in Houston
Fri, Sep 1 2017DETROIT — The Big Three Detroit automakers on Friday reported better-than-expected August sales and issued optimistic outlooks for demand as residents of the Houston area replace flood-damaged cars and trucks after Hurricane Harvey, sending their stocks higher. General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler posted mixed August U.S. sales, with GM up 7.5 percent and Ford and Fiat Chrysler down. Japanese automaker Toyota improved sales by nearly 7 percent, while Honda fell 2.4 percent. Still, analysts focused on the potential for Detroit automakers to cut inventories and stabilize used vehicle prices as residents of Houston, the fourth largest city in the United States, are forced to replace tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of vehicles after the devastation from Hurricane Harvey. Mark LaNeve, Ford's U.S. sales chief, told analysts on Friday that following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 "we saw a very dramatic snapback" in demand. That said, Ford sales fell 2.1 percent in August. It sold 209,897 vehicles in the United States, compared with 214,482 a year earlier. Sales were down 1.9 percent in the Ford division and off 5.8 percent at Lincoln. Demand was down for cars, crossovers and SUVs. It was not clear how many vehicles in the Houston area will be scrapped, LaNeve said, saying he had seen estimates ranging from 200,000 to 400,000 to 1 million. Ford's Houston dealers may have lost fewer than 5,000 vehicles in inventory, he said. Ford is the No. 1 automaker in the Houston market, with 18 percent share, according to IHS Markit. The company plans to ship used vehicles to Houston dealers and has "every indication we would have to add some production" of new vehicles to meet demand, LaNeve said. Investor concerns about inventories of unsold vehicles and falling used car prices have weighed on Detroit automakers' shares most of this year. Now, automakers can anticipate a jolt of demand from a big market that is a stronghold for Detroit brand trucks and SUVs. "It's got to be a positive for the industry," LaNeve said. Investors appeared to agree. GM shares rose as much as 3.3 percent to their highest since early March. Ford increased 2.8 percent at $11.34, and Fiat Chrysler's U.S.-traded shares were up 5.2 percent $15.91, hitting their highest in more than five years. GM reported a 7.5 percent increase in U.S. auto sales in August, helped by robust sales of crossovers across its four brands.
Mazda CEO says rotary not viable, so don't look for a new one
Tue, 19 Nov 2013We have some very sad news to report, rotor-heads fans: Don't expect a new rotary-powered vehicle anytime soon. This comes straight from Masamichi Kogai, the CEO of Mazda, which is the only company to ever market a commercially successful rotary-powered automobile in the world. The issue, as it has pretty much always been, is environmental.
While the Wankel rotary engine does indeed make a lot of power in a small, lightweight package, it does so while burning lots of fuel and emitting lots of noxious gases into the atmosphere, at least when running on gasoline. And that means the rotary engine will likely only ever be able to power niche vehicles. And that, in turn, means that it is very difficult to turn a profit on vehicles with rotary engines, particularly for a small automaker like Mazda.
"It has to be a viable commercial proposition. If we are going to adopt it, it has to be a product that can generate at least sales of 100,000 units a year. We have to be able to achieve a profit," said Kogai in an interview with Automotive News. Mazda sold 56,203 RX-7 models in the United States (the automaker's biggest market) in 1986. Sales of the RX-8 peaked in 2004, its first full year on the market, with just 23,690 units.
Mazda3, CX-5 earn IIHS Top Safety Picks
Thu, 17 Jan 2013Mazda technologies like SkyActiv-Body and SkyActiv-Chassis, plus ultra-high-tensile steel, six airbags, "crusable" brake and accelerator pedal assembly and collapsible steering column have helped the 2013 Mazda3 and 2014 Mazda CX-5 win Top Safety Pick laurels from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). It's the second year in a row for the Mazda3.
The accolade is earned by receiving "Good" marks for frontal moderate overlap crashes, side and rear impact crashes, and tests of roof strength. Remember, the small overlap test that the IIHS commenced in August 2012 has lately tripped up some makers who have excellent safety reputations.
The Mazda3 and CX-5 join offerings like the Dodge Dart, Hyundai Elantra, Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and Subaru Forester among the 117 vehicles so far declared Top Safety Picks - which is different than the 13 named Top Safety Picks+, mind you - for this year. Have a read of the press release below for more information.
