i pwn therefore i am
My friend had a Mitsubishi van whose looks can only be described as a shuttle from Star Trek TNG. This one time, we were driving down route 13 and this minivan pulled up along side of us and the sliding door opened to expose this guy we knew named Woody. He didn't have a seat belt on and was waving his broken leg and crutches at us. We were pretty enraged so we sped up. Realizing that we were no match for the other minivan we turned onto route 71 at about 45 mph. We got that pig up on 2 wheels I tell you.
What does this post have to do with this thread? About as much as every other post in the last 20 pages does -- nothing.

I once again refer you to roaddemon's post #258 (that's on page 7 for those of you not on the n00b settings), where all the bashing starts. He said the following idioitic statement:
Take away their turbos, stiff factory suspension and all you have is a enonobox. The rx7s and 8s are pure sportscars. They are born that way. You can't change or take that away. But I suppose if you take their cheating turbos and stiff suspension away they'd say, "We are pure econoboxes, We get 32.5 miles a gallon. We are great".
You have no one to blame for the posts since then but him.

Your is slang for You're. Get over it. And my post you qouted was based on previous Mpg post for The Sti econo platform. It was a legit post. I prefer the rotary first. I may go Bmw when the time comes. It's really none of your bussiness is it little man?

(I'm told that YOUR doesn't actually denote possession as I have been taught by every English teacher I ever had, but it is actually the shortened form of the contraction "you're").

your ( P ) Pronunciation Key (yr, yôr, yr; yr when unstressed)
adj. The possessive form of you.
Used as a modifier before a noun: your boots; your accomplishments.
A person's; one's: The light switch is on your right.
Informal. Used with little or no sense of possession to indicate a type familiar to the listener: your basic three-story frame house.
you're ( P ) Pronunciation Key (yr; yr when unstressed)
Contraction of you are.
YOUR != YOU'RE

Typical Ike response. You may have noticed I didn't bother responding.
Thats about all the effort I'll put towards pointing out the obvious.

^^^I don't know but they better get here soon and sticky this thread. I think we're getting to the bottom of mazdas economics and the theory of their taget demographic. The answers are coded so we need to stick together and figure out the true meaning of life with rotor. I am convinced that the answers are in this thread and we are suppose to decode it.

Strange you should say that because I don' t understand what you said.
