Fun with rear hatch distortion

Because of the steep angle and curved sides of the rear glass it produces a "fun house" effect when viewing cars in the rear view mirror. Today while driving on the highway it became a fun game trying to ID cars in the rear view. <p>A protege 5 looked like a Mazda MPV, and Acura RSX looked...

Re: Need Help!

Ahhh now I see what you mean, you have a shot at buying BOTH cars and make one decent one out of the two. At first I thought you were trying to decide between the '93 with bad carpets, seats, dash, cluster, etc. OR a wrecked '95 ... lol

Average age of MX-3ers?

Sometimes a car's longevity is related to how well it bridges and appeals to different generations. With that in mind I wonder what the average age of an MX3 owner is?<p>I'm 43, but I suspect most are younger ....

Re: TAX on mx-3 at DMV?
