As of this morning, 18,500 acres consumed, 5% contained. No count on structures lost. No reported fatalities. After seeing the smoke on Tuesday, we high-tailed it to Denver in order to get the wife and kid onto an early morning flight so they could stay with her folks until this subsides. Having to ...

Well, we are now a 3 Mazda household. Joining the 3 and the Miata is a 2005 6i manual hatchback in black with 144K miles. Flew out to Chicago on Tuesday and got home Wednesday evening. Mechanically solid, with a few cosmetic quirks that need a little attention. One thing that I haven't found an answ...

According to brochures, 2007 was the only year that had a 6i GT available as a manual. I can't imagine, however, that many dealers ordered this config. 2008 had the 6iGT, but as an auto only.

That being said, I've never found any.

Thanks, but specifically want the hatch. In a perfect world, a blazing copper 6i GT manual hatch. I flat out can't find the GT, so that's pretty much out. I'd concede the transmission first before the hatchback, which leaves me with an auto 6i hatch, of which there a a good number of choices. I have...

The other kid car is a 2008 3s sedan, which is the wife's DD. Really no issues in that regard. Some additional cargo capacity would be nice for trips to HD/Lowe's, hence the want for the hatch variant. Very far future thinking, I'd LOVE to swap a skyactiv drivetrain into a 6 hatch if that was even a...

Only having one kid car in the family is rather annoying at times, enough for us to consider picking up a second kid vehicle. I'm considering 6i hatchbacks. The ones that I seem to gravitate towards all seem to have 90-110K miles, which is fine by me if they're in good working condition. Any issues ...

I believe it's not in it's final revisions yet. The biggest hazard at the moment is to make sure you do a proper 'eject' from whatever OS you're using to flush the write cache, as a bad eject can cause you to lose all your files on that volume.

20k? i can build you something that would rape almost anything out there for around 2k each. not including the 30" core i7-2600K aircooled (can be OC'd from stock clock of 3.4ghz to 4.7ghz stable on air) 8gb gskill ram 2x Radeon HD 6970 2 GB in CrossFire (right now amd is better than nvidia pretty ...

Sigh. I love FDs. Maybe I should have included one on my 'million dollars' list.

The answer is ALWAYS Miata. lol.

If you go with an NA, you might even be able to snag one with a hard top for 5k.

500k - 2 bed 2 bath 1200sqft condo on the upper west side.. (I haven't browsed further, but i bet it's a real hellhole for that price) 50k - Let Flyin Miata throw the catalog at my NA, 2.0 big turbo style. 50k - Let Flyin Miata throw the catalog at the Black Cherry Mica NB that I'd acquire, V8 style...

There was a new white 3 sedan (still had temp tags) that had black rims with red trim on them and heavily tinted windows going north on powers turning on old ranch, presumably to drop of a kidlet at Pine Creek. Looked pretty smooth. I should have thrown a tag at them while stopped at a light.

exFAT supports single files larger than 4GB, and is supported by OSX 10.6.5 and later with read and write support. You don't need a MAC specific drive.

And yes, VLC should rock anything you throw at it.

That wasn't me. It was on reddit and jalopnik. From the cropped picture on jalopnik and the description, I recognized it as being in the springs.

Now that's funny.
