I love Mazda. It's like a crazy ass honors student that kept getting thrown in remedial classes because he wouldn't stop drawing car schematics and design ideas instead of doing the assignment got his own car company.

If there's one thing I respect Mazda for is developing the rotary engine into what it is today. Many auto makers have dabbled with rotaries in the past, but failed and threw it out. It was only with Mazda's stubborn insistence on turning it into a functional state that it is what it is today. I honestly feel like without them, the rotary engine would remembered in history as an interesting experimental concept, but hard to find working examples of.

If I remember correctly, Mazda also was one of the last of the larger car manufacturers to accept electric cars. I think the c30 is their most recent effort. Love their B6 series engines. It's a non-interference design, so if you blow it up it never blows up THAT bad. You keep squeezing air into it and it keeps asking daddy for more pain.

Subaru WRX hatch with the manual transmission. Fun car. Grips the road. Couldn't afford the STI version but that's okay.
 
I have a 2010 Hundai Santa Fe and I love it. 22mph on mostly city driving. It nice and comfortable. But what surprise me the most is my 2012 Nissan Versa.

Yea its a driver car. Yes it is nothing fancy. BUT after 10 years of driving it I still get 34 mph. That has save me money so I can reinvest into my future.
 
Best all-rounder I got is the old diesel IDI Ford. HD 3/4-ton single cab 4x4 5-speed. I beat the hell outta that thing. 20 mpg highway too. Not bad for an early 90's 6000lb truck.

I put an Detroit Truetrac limited slip in the rear axle, wider 285/75R16 Firestone mud tires, and deleted the factory exhaust for a cherry bomb. Other than that, stock as a rock.
 
Land Rover Series 3 Long Wheel Base - that thing will out last you with basic maintenance and isn't fussy about fuel quality.

I upgraded my seats to look like the originals but the foam is Memory foam like that in some mattresses, front and rear winches, snorkel, and a few other quality of life improvements that are mostly hidden just to keep it looking as basic and original as I can, I've left the original ratty and faded paint on it because it looks nice and brings less attention to it.

The only thing I am thinking of adding to it is a small bed crane to lift materials in and out easyer, and maybe get a LPG conversion kit while they are still cheap to fit when they stop selling Petrol.

Why do you drive so slowly?
 
I used to serially own rusty pre 1990s pickups and drove them till the motors went or I got bored of them. Now I don't own cars at all, but I want to import the finest vehicle ever conceived

Lucille Ball's 1972 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 4.5 sedan. We believe she owned the car until her death in 1989--and was one of several that she owned at the time. The car is on display at the Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum in Jamestown, New York--Lucy's home town. Her Mercedes was donated to the museum by actor/director Laurence Luckinbill who is married to Ball's daughter, Lucie Arnaz.
