I thought of you all the other day when somebody in a newer pickup truck got behind me driving my Mazda 3. I didn't take a photo in my rear view mirror because safe driving and all that, but I felt like I was living in some kind of AI generated c/fuckcars meme.

In my mirror the front of the truck looked like a WALL the height of a grown adult with a little thin stripe of windshield above it. AND there was a big hood scoop on top of that. The little stripe of windshield was like 10'/3m behind the wall at the front of the truck too, just to make the visibility as dangerous as possible.

I have definitely developed an appreciation for Mazda over the years. I keep toying with the idea of an MX-5 for my next car. (I live in suburban USA where driving is required, and I have a short twisty drive to work when I go into the office)
