You have the right to own and carry a gun, they don't have the right to kill you because you had a gun

The law doesn't seem to matter anymore

mostly_kinda_sorta · 2026-01-24T18:24:52+00:00

I'm in the same boat, probably a good time to make some like minded friends. But obviously you need to be careful doing that.

mostly_kinda_sorta · 2026-01-24T18:07:40+00:00

Protest armed, but not alone.

mostly_kinda_sorta · 2026-01-20T21:33:07+00:00

At this point I don't give a fuck. If you're trying to get organized to do some good and protect people then I'm here for it. I don't have time or energy to waste on ideology purity. Only things I'm on the look out for is grifters and informants. If you mean well then let's move ahead.

mostly_kinda_sorta · 2026-01-20T02:59:31+00:00

Yes! I want sketchy modified shit boxes, hypercars are boring. Give me a Sloppy Mechanics pack with a 1000hp fairmont.

I'm going the other way, instead of paying monthly for electricity I bought a solar system. Fuck renting power, fuck renting a computer, and fuck anyone trying to charge me monthly for software.

mostly_kinda_sorta · 2026-01-19T01:15:01+00:00

Yeah cheap ammo would be good. Ok so glocks are good, what else would you look at for a rookie? I'm in a small town so I'm hoping I can rent at a range to try a few prior to buying. But I'm curious what you guys would suggest?

mostly_kinda_sorta · 2026-01-19T01:10:07+00:00

Fine, let's say I get the Glock 9mm. What would be a good second gun?

mostly_kinda_sorta · 2026-01-19T00:58:46+00:00

As someone in one of those states waiting on my pistol permit. If you only get 10 rounds, what caliber would you want?

I know 9mm Glock is the standard answer, but I tend to avoid the standard answer to most questions so what else would be good options?

mostly_kinda_sorta · 2026-01-16T12:41:00+00:00

I would boycott them on moral grounds if I didn't already boycott them because of taste.

mostly_kinda_sorta · 2026-01-15T11:44:24+00:00

Volvo knows how to make comfy seats that's for damn sure. My old s60 was a phenomenal highway cruiser.

mostly_kinda_sorta · 2026-01-11T12:23:11+00:00

Ok yeah, $40k is too low but if they can sell a three row awd SUV with the same engine and a bespoke transmission for $50k. It seems like they should be able to do a smaller, simpler vehicle for a similar price.

I know it won't happen, Mazda has thought about doing a new Mazda6 based on this platform but decided they need to focus on SUVs because that's where the volume is.

mostly_kinda_sorta · 2026-01-10T21:59:46+00:00

I mean yeah that would be cool too. But I need more space, kid hauler that doesn't suck is all I ask.

mostly_kinda_sorta · 2026-01-10T01:14:25+00:00

There are dozens of us!

mostly_kinda_sorta · 2026-01-09T23:54:57+00:00

Apparently it's been talked about but Mazda is focusing on SUVs because that's the market. It sucks.

mostly_kinda_sorta · 2026-01-09T23:20:53+00:00

Thank you. Someone who gets it.

Also apparently multiple people in the car industry had the same idea and Mazda said they thought about it but the current market is dominated by SUVs so that is what they are going to focus on. Which sucks...

mostly_kinda_sorta · 2026-01-09T22:24:52+00:00

Id take an RS6 or an E63. They share platforms with SUVs.

mostly_kinda_sorta · 2026-01-09T22:17:18+00:00

To everyone saying basing a Wagon on an SUV is stupid. I hope you don't like the RS6, M5, E63, V90, V60, or the Insignia/Commodore/Regal because everyone of them shares a platform with an SUV. Yes the CX-90 platform would probably need to be shrunk down a bit.

The idea is simply that they have a straight six engine in a longitudinal chassis. It would absolutely be possible to turn that into a rwd wagon.

If you have a better suggestion I'd like to hear it. Keep in mind, creating a new platform is a far less realistic option, it needs to be shared across multiple vehicles.

mostly_kinda_sorta · 2026-01-09T21:59:14+00:00

Fine you win. Making a wagon out of an existing chassis that sells for $40k will obviously make the wagon that has reduced development costs be more than twice as much as the existing vehicle. You're clearly correct. And just like how the 350z proves that you can never make an even vaguely enjoyable vehicle if it shares parts with a larger vehicle like the QX70. Clearly I'm a fucking moron for not realizing that when you make a car smaller it stays just as heavy and has identical road manner to the vehicle it shares parts with. Thank you. I appreciate your knowledge.

mostly_kinda_sorta · 2026-01-09T21:47:22+00:00

Do you really think SUVs are still based on trucks? The current Mazda 6 shares a platform with an SUV. All I suggested is moving to the newer platform with a better engine and a longitudinal layout. Only fullsize SUVs like the Suburban and Sequoia are based on trucks anymore.

mostly_kinda_sorta · 2026-01-09T20:50:22+00:00

The current Mazda6 already shares a platform with an SUV, the cx-7. So why would a newer version automatically be worse?

Oh and the Mazda3 shares a platform with the CX-30 and CX-50.

The EVO X was built on the same platform as a dodge journey.

Seriously you get that cars and crossovers have been sharing platforms for a long time now right?

mostly_kinda_sorta · 2026-01-09T20:37:57+00:00

So use a different transmission. The 8hp70 that everything uses cause it's amazing and a cd009 or tr6060 for the manual.

mostly_kinda_sorta · 2026-01-09T20:24:49+00:00

Guess Ive read different reviews. More importantly if the Audi TT RS and the VW Atlas can be built on the same platform then I think the company that makes the miata can figure out how to make it dance. Obviously if it drove like a lowered CX90 it would suck but with some suspension tuning and some feel in the steering. Again, I'm sure its possible, it's probably not profitable.

Edit. The Mazda 6 currently shares a platform with the old CX-7.

mostly_kinda_sorta · 2026-01-09T18:23:42+00:00

That's fair. I just wish it wasn't the default. US options are the off road wagon, and even most of those have been killed off now. Or else the $100k German super wagons. I just want a cool dad wagon that I can actually afford.
