I remember this one time I died and my friends drove me to the hospital and by drove I mean stopped doing meth long enough to put my body in the back of a Mazda 3 and pushed me out in the parking lot of the local Kaiser and the doctor said "Hey, um, this guy's like dead and stuff!" and then he realized I had Primera medical insurance and so he's all, "And his insurance sucks, too! Go be dead somewhere else!" Anyway, I got better, but I was charged $9,000 for declaration of death and my insurance was all, "dude, you were hella dead when you got there so we ain't paying!" That day I learned if you're an American with health insurance, you're pretty much fucked, live or dead.

True story, bro.

I grew up driving automatics but I buy myself six-speeds now. It has made be a safer and more conscious driver, while making driving so much more enjoyable. I feel much more engaged with my driving and suffer way fewer lapses of attention. Right now I drive a 2009 Mazda 3, probably will go for the RX-8 next unless I can affort a Tessla Roadster in 3 years.

I'll go back to automatics if I ever have kids, so that I can have my shifting hand free to cuff them in the head. Little punks!

I'm apparently a Mazda RX-8
You're sporty, yet practical, and you have a style of your own. You like to have fun, and you like to bring friends along for the ride, but when it comes time for everyday chores, you're willing to do your part.

Well I do get 16MPG and prefer the premium feed, but i'll run on the cheap stuff if necessary.

Yeah, I wouldn't buy a Mercedes in the first place... doesn't seem like his roof gives him a lot of clearance for his head. My Mazda 3 gives me way more.

It was a three-way (tongue) tie! Some other tidbits:

The movie was originally called "Route 66". The name was changed to "Cars" so as not to imply a connection with the TV show "Route 66"

The Lighting McQueen "groupies" in the stands are modeled after the first-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata.

One of the racing cars in the scene is white, has the Apple logo, and the number is 84, a homage to the "1984" ad.

Mithras was a Persian god, not Roman. Although his mystery cult was very, very popular among the Roman Legions. Wherever we have evidence of a Legion presence, we also find evidence of Mithras cult. As I recall Mithras was Ahura Mazda's (the infinitely good god of the Zoroastrian faith) general in his crusade against the devil Ahriman. Darius the Great's conquests were largely motivated out of missionary zeal to spread the Zoroastrian religion.

It's just like my daily commute to work - only in a faster Mazda with better handling.

Although I would hate to subject it to gunfire and ramming.

It's done, but we ask you to do it b/c we'll have trouble noticing - congrats!
