View attachment 335748 When I first saw an RF back in 2016 (2017 was the first year) my jaw dropped. They updated it in 2019 with an updated engine, so I drove one finally and it was just such a throw back of a car.

I do wonder how comfy I'll be wearing my car coat in this car though lol... Only one way to find out.

When the Jaguar E-Type was launched in March 1961, Enzo Ferrari called it “the most beautiful car ever made.” he then said that the only fault that he could find was: "It didn't sport a Ferrari badge."

You could say much the same about the RF, the only thing that I can fault is, to miss quote Enzo, "It doesn't have an MG badge." It has taken the styling DNA from MG and added a much superior small sports car. If Mazda had acquired the MG marque, along with the R & D department, it makes you wonder what kind of cars would be gracing our roads.

Instead, The Shanghai Auto Industry Co acquired the MG name and all the rights to go with it and they give MG lovers, this:

Doesn't exactly stir the blood, does it?

Looks like my uploads posted as a mess, not sure what i did wrong. Thats all the current stuff, also not shown is the wifes current gen ford fusion and my 72 67k original mile cutlass supreme. The bike is my pride and joy, stage 4 "race" motor among other things. The backhoe is absolutely the most useful tool ive ever bought, it gets used so much more than id imagined and the john deere is my diesel grass cutter/snow plower. Ive also had the displeasure of owning a shovelhead fxr, n 01 roadking with a bunch of motor work, an 03 tahoe, a 98 jimmy, a 98 k1500 z71, an 00 sonoma, and a 74 chevelle. Work trucks have included a couple ram 3500s, an f350, and ive put alot of miles on some peterbilts, freightliners, kenworths, and internationals.

We had a ‘99 Saab 9-5 that was a great car! Unfortunately I crashed it. Barely felt a thing, but the insurance co totaled it and replaced it with a 2000 model—- looked the same but it was a completely different car...a horrible lemon that cost us an arm and a leg! Stick to the pre-2000 Swedish ones, not the GM version.

What a coincidence! That's the exact same fate that befell my '99 9-3! A guy was inching into the intersection in the left turn lane to turn when the light hit green, and I made a tight left on stale green, smashing both our front ends. I ended up using the insurance payout for a down payment on my current car. I loved that 9-3, it was a great car. I was actually needing to buy a new one anyway, as it was nearing 20 years old at that point, and was becoming a money pit. The driver's side window, for example, ceased to work, among a myriad of other minor issues. My current car isn't as luxurious, but at least it's less than a decade old.

That's much older than my first Saab. And what city is that with such a photogenic dock?

That's my Dad's current mower. It's also the reason he'll never buy John Deere again. The engine was poorly made, it eats oil, and smokes like a chimney.

The photo is from Trondheim, Norway. It's a good location for tired, old cars:D
