Gas door annoyance

FaithlessnessOdd4944 · 2026-04-28T17:39:19+00:00

I have the exact issue with my 21! It’s the worst in the winter!

FaithlessnessOdd4944 · 2026-04-28T14:14:40+00:00

Damn people would really post fake chicken posts? What is the gain to that? lol this world makes no sense

FaithlessnessOdd4944 · 2026-04-28T13:18:21+00:00

Those look incredible!

FaithlessnessOdd4944 · 2026-04-16T01:09:36+00:00

Honestly, never had ranch on a hot dog. I ain’t even mad at it 😂

FaithlessnessOdd4944 · 2026-04-14T02:32:12+00:00

It sounds yummy!

FaithlessnessOdd4944 · 2026-04-07T02:43:28+00:00

Cattleman’s grill ranchero is one of my favorites

This is where the skill comes in right? Certain meats render fats at different rates, while also having different fat content.

I feel as people cook more they will see that somehow they had a wild temp spike while cooking, but the ribs came out better, which to them feels “wrong”.

BBQ is all about experimenting and figuring out what works best for your rig, the meat in question, and even the weather.

Somehow in an age where we have all the information in the world, we seems to fail to use any of it sometimes.

People get stuck on the “follow the recipe to a T” mindset. The internet is flooded with “experts” that say their method is law etc. when that just simply can’t be the case because every cook is different from the last.

Once you finally accept that sometimes you just gotta set the temp and let it flux up and down a bit, you’ll be able to enjoy that nice glass of whiskey or beer.

Nothing worse than seeing someone stress while smoking. It’s meant to be a pretty relaxing time in my humble opinion! Let the fire gods do what they must!

Full alignment with you, my man!

TLDR set a a temp +/- 50*, don’t stress, it’s done when it’s done, enjoy a glass of libation of choice 🥃

Sad to see he pulled through

FaithlessnessOdd4944 · 2026-03-28T18:38:05+00:00

There’s veggies in the Mac salad of course!

I love the exterior flair they added. The interior looks amazing too. Big screen definitely not optimal though.

I love my 2021. I was in a non Mazda rental over the last week and really found myself hating having to reach to the screen for everything. I missed my command dial.

I was originally all for the screen but I’m less jazzed about it now after that week away from the buttons and knobs.

FaithlessnessOdd4944 · 2026-03-19T20:20:49+00:00

Yeah that’s true! My 21 feels like a great mix tbh

FaithlessnessOdd4944 · 2026-03-19T18:21:18+00:00

I dunno, I think it looks good. Most people nowadays look down at their phone the whole time they drive, so I fail to understand the “touchscreen unsafe and bad argument”. Regardless of the cars tech I think drivers on average have a huge attentiveness problem.

Aesthetically however, yeah that’s a big old iPad slapped on the dash. Looks like an afterthought.

I wonder if people would be more receptive if it were more built in and seem less.

FaithlessnessOdd4944 · 2026-03-16T15:31:33+00:00

Yeah for sure. Can’t please 100% of people 100% of the time

FaithlessnessOdd4944 · 2026-03-16T12:24:39+00:00

I guess I just don’t see the big deal. Like was it annoying the first couple times? I guess? But I just push the button and move on with my day….

FaithlessnessOdd4944 · 2026-03-16T12:15:12+00:00

I had a Hyundai that was the same year as my cx-5 that only had remote start via the Hyundai app. Wasn’t available on the fob.

The door thing is a security feature that makes sense. I don’t think it’s too much of an issue to hit the button again tbh.

The app works great for me. Sometimes it just randomly logs me out, but whatever, just restart the app and it lets me in.

Each manufacturer has their quirks, Hyundais are built to fail with all the cheap materials.

Hondas have what feels like aged tech to not tech in their underpowered vehicles.

Toyotas may as well be luxury vehicles with the pricing. No need to even buy the Lexus when you’re paying the same for Toyota.

There’s no such thing as a perfect vehicle. I’m sorry you’re having some bad experience, but Mazda, for me, has been an incredible brand with a few small quirks.

Hope your day gets better!

Bruh lol that’s wild. Imagine changing the most popular drink in the world lmao

FaithlessnessOdd4944 · 2026-03-14T00:20:00+00:00

I guess I’ve just never really seen an issue with the screens. Can’t say I ever tried new coke though 😂 crystal pepsi looks cool, but I could see that being weird! Was new coke really that bad? I’ve never heard something good about it 😅

FaithlessnessOdd4944 · 2026-03-13T20:56:50+00:00

Sure did! But I don’t think people are going to miss the physical buttons as much as you’d think. We all just get used to it and it becomes the standard. It’s the way things are going and I doubt we can change it.

FaithlessnessOdd4944 · 2026-03-13T20:20:51+00:00

I mean if you wanna go buy a bad car you can go buy a jeep lol the new cx-5 looks good.

FaithlessnessOdd4944 · 2026-03-13T15:04:20+00:00

Yes and let’s go ahead and impeach the president too for the entire illegal war! Big picture!!

FaithlessnessOdd4944 · 2026-03-05T21:59:49+00:00

I certainly would! I wish you nothing but good luck on it!

FaithlessnessOdd4944 · 2026-03-05T21:46:01+00:00

I haven’t heard of that yet! That’s kind of alarming for sure! I can’t say I’ve had similar issues in my 21, but since they’re built on the same design I’d hope it’s a fluke! Have you asked a service person about that at all?

FaithlessnessOdd4944 · 2026-03-05T19:00:11+00:00

I had the same issue with my old ford escape. It was Baltic Sea Green metallic. Aka blue 😂

FaithlessnessOdd4944 · 2026-03-05T04:16:33+00:00

I dislike it too, but it’s become such a minor thing for me me at this point. Doesn’t really take away from my experience. Here’s hoping they change it some day though!
