Yeah it's amazing what a little cooler air can do.

It is also faster in the slalom due to the shorter wheelbase makes it more agile.

Went to Boston over the weekend, and parked the 8 in the Garage under the Hyatt overnight on Friday. It was ridiculously cold, with wind chills bringing it close to (or what felt like under) 0 degrees. After sitting for 27 hours or so, it started up first try and ran great. It really was cold enough that I thought I could be calling for a jump, but no such luck.

Same story from North Adams, Mass. I had a fabulous 1,200 mile drive through the North East in six days. The car is great on the twisties; great on the highway; and perfectly fine through hard snowing Vermont. I love my car!

Today I also didn't have a problem. But yesterday while not passing up the store because I had no OJ (not the murderer but the tasty beverage) I didn't notice engine trouble. In the not going to the dealer the mechanic had no answers (friggin Mazda )

We can't beat a shopping cart? Really? I mean, I noticed one revving next to me while at the store. I didn't take it seriously. How much boost can you get on those beasts?
