Um, my car makes this loud sound like a buzzer going off whenever I'm driving it hard. Then as soon as I shift it stops. It usually starts around where the numbers turn red on the big gauge in the middle. Why does my car do that?

Also, does anyone know why they put 3 pedals in the car? I can tell that one is the brake and one is the gas, but I have no idea what that one on the far left is for. Whenever I push it my car stops accelerating. So I think that either it is broken or Mazda just put it there to mess with people because who on earth would want a pedal that makes it where you can't accelerate. Is there a DIY on how to take it off?

Oh and last question... Why does my gear shifting stick make bad grinding banging sounds when I change gears? Sometimes it wont even move without me having to use two hands and force it. Why?

Easy, you just need two cars :yesnod:

I heard that it is bad to leave the winter tire(or any tire) outside exposed to direct sunlight during summer.

How about a summer tire you leave it outside during winter time and it is exposed to direct sunlight?

Does "drifting" in a parking lot full of snow ruin your alignment ?? :uhh:

09Factor 12-06-2010 08:52 PM

Only if you use plastic trays.

Should I use synthetic or standard? Seriously.

I saw this sig, I think it was RIWWP, where there were these graves stones. In front of the grave stones is a green field with rectangles representing the areas in the ground in which the grave holes were dug, but then filled in. Moving left-to-right, the rectangles show that the filled in holes are increasingly "fresh." The first one is "altezza" the third, "murdered out". I cant remember the fourth, but the third is only an icon. It is two elongated diamonds, one green and one yellow, and they meet along one long edge. It looks like a semi-closed book. The overall quality of the image is top-notch, and I am impressed how quickly and vividly the message is presented.

But what the hell is that symbol?

That is the question I want to know.

Grammar Nazi 12-06-2010 10:10 PM

^It's Atilla, and the symbol is the Beginner Drivers' Sign in Japan.

Atilla 12-06-2010 10:11 PM

you rang??

:suspect:

the symbol has become a cliche/trendy icon people plaster all over one's vehicle to show off their knowledge of the japanese driving culture...:jerkit:

Grammar Nazi 12-06-2010 10:12 PM

How did you do that?

Atilla 12-06-2010 10:15 PM

...with magic

I'm gonna have to get one of the orange ones. Or perhaps I won't.

Atilla 12-06-2010 10:22 PM

I'd almost be more tempted to put an outlined pedobear sticker on my car than the orange one. :sad:

xexok 12-07-2010 02:21 AM

We need stickers like that here! Sounds fantastic, one for people over 70-75 so you know who to avoid and the one for new drivers too.

They really are way ahead of us. :bowdown:

carbonRX8 12-07-2010 08:16 AM

Wow! This thread is really useful!

Now about that oil...

Depends on what you are using right now? How many miles you have? Most importantly, which one you prefer?

Lots of people here like me use synthetic with no problem, others use regular with no problem. It is a personal preference.:yesnod:
